Origins of the Feistverse's Humans

[Ivexus]

If man -kind jumped universes in the past, then where did they come from originally in the Feistverse. And also how man evolve, did they ascend from apes like us or were they created by a God or Valheru in the distant past in some far flung planets.

Feistverse - a word I made up, describing the entire universe and universes that Raymond E. Feist has created.

 

[williamjm]

They can't have been created by a Valheru, since they originally came from a different universe than the Valheru did. Since the humans' Gods in the Feistverses require worshippers for their powers, it would make sense that humans evolved first rather than being created by their Gods.

 

[Fake Vencar]

Simple for me. Humans create Gods and the Valheru do not have the power of life. Thus it must be evolution

 

[Pyan]

Evolution, as on other planets..
Though how they learned English is a bit of a poser

 

[nixie]

wonderful isn't it, how every world out there learns to speak English

 

[Kulgan]

Well, I think I have that one figured out. They're not really speaking english, you see, they're speaking in their own native tongue, but the magick in the pages allows whoever picks up the book to read it in their native language - kind of like a 'universal translator'... LOL

 

[Fake Vencar]

Ah Kulgan, always the interpreter. Does that mean Feist can understand several thousand languages? Incredible!

 

[Ursa major]

He only uses the audio books, Fake. That way he can take advantage of his Babel fish.

Origins? The Midkemian folk appear to be of the same races that inhabit the planet earth. Even the elves are the same. Therefore one must look to whatever we believe our origins are. Evolution has been a popular choice for the last hundred or so years. God in one form or another also has been popular as a choice of origin. Scientifically or theologically there is no concrete proof of origin.Granted there is a proof in the form of DNA that we may have evolved from something out of Africa,and the bible claims it was Adam and Eve. Midkemian folk obviously evolved from the brain of Fiest and Fiest is of the earth.Fiests mind like all minds are definately thier own private universe. Every man and evry woman is a star. Fiestverse works for me LOL

 

[Fake Vencar]

The 'Fiestverse' could be in our own future to be honest.

All the humans came through the rift out of the realm of madness, same as the Tsurani. What happens if this rift is in fact something akin to a controllable wormhole?

 

[fingy773]

never would have thought of that

 

[Kulgan]

That would work. Somewhere in our far-distant future we had to abandon whatever planet we'd managed to colonize (earth is long gone) and when we were thretened by extinction by the Enemy we used a wormhole to escape to Midkemia. I've always looked at the rifts as 'controllabla wormholes' in space, if not in time as well.

 

[woodsman]

I thought the one great god that is of the Cosmos created everything a stage at a time so he could learn? I dunno if humans create gods as such, they give form to the various energies and in worshipping one form, concentrate it and characterise it. I mean I think Rathar and Mythar existed before man, did they not?

 

[Fake Vencar]

They did indeed but who is to say there was something that gave shape to them...the civilisation who built the City Forever maybe (although I still feel Magnus creates it in the future...)

 

[woodsman]

They were random, hence the blind Gods, as I see it anyways. Just a focal point for the 'godly'/'spiritual' energy of the universe and a represenation of it.

 

[Fake Vencar]

Agree with you there Woody

 

[Ivexus]

Prehaps the City of Forever was built ina universe that existed before the Feistverse

It could have been...although Pug and Tomas were definitely not in another universe at the start of 'time'. It may have been moved however
