Eriond's world

<BODY BACKGROUND="bg4.gif"> <H1>Eriond's world</H1> This page is dedicated to Leigh and David Eddings. However, it reflects not all of their creativity: We are speaking here only about the world ofthe Belgariad and of the Malloreon. Of course, nobody can imagine a fantasy world without a map. If you adore watching graphics loading, you are strongly encouraged to click at this thumbnail.<BR> <CENTER><A HREF="map.jpg"><IMG SRC="smallmap.jpg" ALT="A map (what else?)" WIDTH="223" HEIGHT="180" BORDER="0"></A> </CENTER> The whole story is told in two cycles of five books each: <UL> <LI> Belgariad<UL> <LI>Pawn of Prophecy</LI> <LI>Queen of Sorcery</LI> <LI>Magician's Gambit</LI> <LI>Castle of Wizardry</LI> <LI>Enchanter's Endgame</LI> </UL> </LI> <LI> Malloreon<UL> <LI>Guardians of the West</LI> <LI>King of the Murgos</LI> <LI>Demon Lord of Karanda</LI> <LI>Sorceress of Darshiva</LI> <LI>Seeress of Kell</LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> We know, however, that some of the characters were born a few thousand years before these events. Two of them more or less freely agreed to write down their memoirs: <UL> <LI> Belgarath the Sorcerer (you can read Beldin's <A HREF="tower.html">review</A>, but beware of his foul mouth...) </LI> <LI> Polgara the Sorceress</LI> </UL> Can we trust them? We certainly hope so. Other sources of information are not very reliable, too. A collection of myths of this world is in preparation now. It is carefully edited and commented by a great Tolnedran scientist, Jeebers. We don't know why Ce'Nedra calls him a "stuffy idiot". Thus, we are looking forward for the book <UL> <LI> The Rivan Codex </LI> </UL> We are happy to propose our readers something new: The <A HREF="dryad.html" TARGET="display"> comment</A> of a Dryad. Quite obviously, she read most of the books (except the "Rivan Codex"), but she has her own point of view. After recovering from your surprise, you possibly will find it refreshing. <P> The latest news: We are able to announce an <EM>interview with Eriond</EM>! After all, this is - or will be - his world, and some of its inhabitants will be interested in his plans for the near future (say, about 10000 years). Eriond is very busy, of course, but we are able to publish the <A HREF="interview.html" TARGET="display">interview</A> now. <HR WIDTH="100%"> <UL> <LI><A HREF="eddings.html" TARGET="display">Eriond's world</A> <LI><A HREF="tower.html" TARGET="display">Beldin's review</A> <LI><A HREF="dryad.html" TARGET="display">Xerena's comment</A> <LI><A HREF="interview.html" TARGET="display">The interview</A> <LI><A HREF="links2.html" TARGET="display">Links</A> <LI><A HREF="mailto:hfischer@mathematik.tu-chemnitz.de">E-mail</A> <LI><A HREF="sign.html" TARGET="display">Experimental guestbook</A> <LI><A HREF="index.html" TARGET="_top">Main page</A> </UL> <HR> <STRONG>Remark</STRONG>: Some of the characters mentioned here (Eriond, Beldin, Garion, Ce'Nedra,...) are the intellectual property of Leigh and David Eddings.

Nevertheless, he feels free to suggest some events or characters (Xerena,...) which could appear there by virtue of mere logical consequence.  <CENTER><A NAME="ring"></A> <P><TABLE BORDER="10" WIDTH="100%" CELLPADDING="3" CELLSPACING="3"> <TR><TH> <FONT Size="4"> <A HREF="/Area51/Vault/3899/Guardians_of_the_Orb.html" TARGET="_top"> <IMG SRC="homepage80.gif" ALIGN=left WIDTH="176" HEIGHT="141"></a> <A HREF="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=garion&id=50&next" TARGET="_top"> <IMG SRC="next80.gif" ALIGN=right WIDTH="176" HEIGHT="141"></a> This <A HREF="/Area51/Vault/3899/Guardians_of_the_Orb.html" TARGET="_top"> Guardians of the Orb </a> site <BR>is owned by <a href="mailto:hfischer@mathematik.tu-chemnitz.de"> Hans ("Beldin")</a>.</FONT> <BR><BR> <FONT Size="3"> <B> [<A HREF="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=garion&id=50&sprev" TARGET="_top"> Skip Prev </a>][<A HREF="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=garion&id=50&prev" TARGET="_top">Prev</a>] [<A HREF="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=garion&id=50&next" TARGET="_top">Next</a>] [<A HREF="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=garion&id=50&skip" TARGET="_top">Skip Next</a>] [<a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?random&ring=garion" target="_top"> Random</a>] [<A HREF="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=garion&id=50&next5" TARGET="_top">Next 5</a>] [<a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=garion&list" target="_top">List Sites</a>] <BR> <BR> <FONT SIZE="4"> Want to join <BR><A HREF="/Area51/Vault/3899/Guardians_of_the_Orb.html" TARGET="_top"> Guardians of the Orb</A>?</FONT> <BR><BR> </B> </FONT> </TH></TR></TABLE> </CENTER>  <HR WIDTH="100%"> <ADDRESS> Hans-Jürgen Fischer, last modified  </ADDRESS> </BODY>
