The Hall of Worlds

[Or Lack Thereof]

The Hall of Worlds sees little or no plot time for the major link to all the worlds of the Fiest Universe, wouldn't you agree? Does anyone besides myself think that there needs to be a little more involvement with the goings-on of the other worlds in the universe in order to give a bit more size to the story?

Perhaps even some side stories that revolve around the politics of the Hall of worlds, similar to the Legends and Mistress trilogies, maybe?

i think its becasue he didnt want to give more 'size' to the story that he never went into too much detail.

with something of such scope, it would take at least another trilogy to explain the goings on and set the scene

I like the hall of worlds when its come up but I also like it unexplained

What about a series about the halls of worlds, and the worlds in it when teh Valheru were around.

or just a series on the Valheru =D

would be cool if they explained more about the tavern in the hall and how it came to be...

IIRC it is said in one of the books that Honest John found that out accidentally, although I'm not sure quite how you end up accidentally stepping off the path into the darkness off the Hall of the Worlds.

Agreed - but just a little more information about that place, maybe in future books we might see The Hall Of Worlds playing a major part. Its a nice concept to add into a series like this as it opens up many different routes you can go with story lines. your not limited to a single world and trying to struggle with new ideas.

 

[Grimblade]

I disagree. I think the main drive behind the creation of The Hall of Worlds was to signify the grand scope of the Feist universe; very little explanation and no end leaves open routes down every conceivable pathway and some more on top of that. I always looked at it that way anyway.
I mean, you've got characters like Pug and Tomas - both incredibly powerful beings capable of overcoming nigh any obstacle (and that's only toward the conclusion of the first book!) There's only so many uber-villains or, indeed, heroes that you can come up with before everyone loses interest. So by inventing this place where there's no scale or equilibrium whatsoever, he gives these characters back theirs. They now have humanity and vulnerability again and the audience can once more relate. Granted there's only so much relating you can do to a dragon-riding half-elf warlord and a time-travelling, god-friendly sorcerer, but still..

I think I remember saying something like he wandered the halls for several days until he ran into something or someone and ran straight of the edge of the hall in his terror.....

Or something like that anyways
