The Magician books focus on the battle across the 'rift' - a connection between Midkemia and the battle-hungry Tsurani, on the faraway planet of Kelewan. These young men grow into adults with adventures considerably beyond their earlier dreams. These books focus largely on the exploits of several young men who are all associated with the court of Duke Borric of Crydee in the land of Midkemia: the Duke's sons (Lyam and Arutha), an orphan boy (Pug) apprenticed to the court magician, and his friend (Tomas) who is an aspiring soldier. The publication dates listed may vary slightly depending on the country of publication. In reality, the Magician books were widely popular with readers, in part because the books abandoned conventional literary techniques and focused solely on the meat of the story.Īll but one of Feist's books take place in Midkemia, or on lands connected to it by characters and events. Magician, Feist's first novel, was widely criticised at first for being too simplistic. Computer games based on Midkemia were at one time developed by Sierra, but they are no longer commercially available. The gaming world of Midkemia is still owned by that original group, now known as Midkemia Press. He and his college friends 1 developed the world of Midkemia for their role playing games. In common with more many other fantasy writers, Feist first began delving into world-building through gaming. Raymond E Feist is a well-known author of several inter-related series of fantasy books with a considerable fan base, including some who have contributed incredibly detailed maps.
