Glade of Dreams: Difference between revisions

When [[Polokus]] had completed the Glade of Dreams, one task remained: creating time. [[Polokus]] entered a deep sleep, and travelled in his dreams to the place where all the gods of all the worlds meet. Together they set about dreaming up the future.

Unfortunately, [[Polokus]]'s nightmares could manifest themselves in reality just as well as his dreams. ~~When~~ he had his [[First Bad Dream]], [[Polokus]] inadvertently created the monstrous [[Jano]], who began to spawn [[Antitoon|Darktoons]], the nightmarish antitheses of the [[Electoon]]s. As the [[Antitoon|Darktoons]] multiplied, they spread discord and evil throughout the Glade. In order to stop [[Jano]] and the [[Antitoon|Darktoons]], the [[nymph]]s – a family of [[Fairy|fairies]] dreamt into existence by [[Polokus]] – joined forces to create a hero dedicated to preserving the balance of the world: [[Rayman]]. After stopping [[Jano]], [[Rayman]] went on to have many more adventures, foiling the schemes of such villains as [[Mr Dark]], [[Admiral Razorbeard]], [[André]] and [[the Magician]].

Due to some contradictions and inconsistencies in the lore of the series (like the well-known neutral nature of Jano, the fact that he and Rayman doesn't seem to have ever met before the events of ''Rayman 2'', the absence of the Antitoons in a few games, the creation of Jano before the existence of said Antitoons which are supposed to be the stuff of Polokus' nightmares, and the existence of other limbless individuals identical to Rayman like [[Tarayzan]]), this origin-story regarding Rayman and Jano doesn't seem to be considered completely true or reliable, like others focused on the limbless hero of the Glade of Dreams.

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', one of the threats made by disgruntled [[tortoise]]s is 'If I were three hundred years younger...', indicating that the Glade of Dreams is at least three centuries old by the time of this game.
