Polokus: Difference between revisions

I don't think it's semantically correct to "contradict a continuity". Contradicted events lead to discontinuity.

According to legend, Polokus once had a wife – the [[Muse of the poets]]. The children they had together were the [[Teensie]]s. This beautiful woman was ashamed of her bizarre offspring, so she fled and hid herself in the forest, to Polokus's great regret.<ref>Les amis de Rayman: Les entités magiques: Les Ptizêtres, ''Rayman 2: The Great Escape: Official Strategy Guide''</ref>

At some point, according to ''[[Rayman Origins]]'''s manual, Polokus had his [[First Bad Dream]], giving birth to [[Jano]], who in turn births the [[Antitoon]]s. [[The Glade of Dreams]] ends up overrun and in deep crisis as a consequence, leading the [[nymph]]s, led by [[Betilla]], to birth [[Rayman]]. [[Rayman]] would then be tasked to fight off Polokus' nightmares. At some point after the crisis passed, [[Jano]] was made guardian of [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], which would become an underground prison for Polokus' subsequent nightmares. However, this story contradicts the other Rayman's origin-stories and the previous games' continuity itself.

Having created all the creatures of [[The Glade of Dreams|the world]], one task remained: creating time. In order to do this, Polokus went into a deep sleep to have a meeting with all the other gods of all the other worlds so that they could dream up the future together, a task which Polokus was unable to perform himself. Before doing this, Polokus created [[Four Masks of Polokus|four masks]] that, when reunited, would awaken Polokus in case there was trouble. To avoid anyone waking him needlessly, he hid them in four Sanctuaries and placed Guardians there to protect them, each one with a weakness. This was done in such a way that only one being could get [[Four Masks of Polokus|these masks]]: [[Rayman]]. Before going to sleep, Polokus explained this situation to the [[Fairy|fairies]], that they might aid [[Rayman]] when the time came to awaken him.
