Favourite Place In Midkemia

Just thought this would make an interesting topic to talk about and compare; what is your favourite place in Midkemia?

For me it has to be Krondor. Its possibly because Fiest has set a lot of his books there, so there is lots of information about it. If i had the choice of going somewhere in Midkemia, it would be there

Re: Favourite Place In Midkemia

My heart will always be in Crydee ever since Magician, then The King's Buccaneer just locked that in stone....

Love the place....I look on it as the birthplace of everything...

Re: Favourite Place In Midkemia

yeah Crydee has a certain magic to it. Not sure if I have a fvourite place though would have to think that one through a bit. Rillanon is quite special, the way I imagine it anyways!

Elvandar and the dwarf villages are also pretty special and the Dwarf city on Novindus.

Re: Favourite Place In Midkemia

I think actually Pugs house on Kelewan after he becomes a Black robe would have to be first and Darkmoor probably second- it was the first place I met on Midkemia. Rillanon (?) probably third.

Re: Favourite Place In Midkemia

I like the Acoma estates and the Minwanbi estates on Kelewan, the Acoma because of the heritage and the Minwanbi because of the way I visualised it all the beauty.

Re: Favourite Place In Midkemia

Yeah, Rillanon's really well thought of. All the characters seem to love it there so it must be very special.

Never liked Elvandar much though! Maybe it was because in the Serpentwar the elves just seem to annoy me

Re: Favourite Place In Midkemia

Elvandar has a magical pictureplace in my head but it lacks that certain originality which makes a place more special.

I think Tal thought Rillanon the most beautiful city in the world, and no-one else seems to disagree.

Re: Favourite Place In Midkemia

I agree with you Woody. But that's what you get from a mad ruler who spent everything improving city and doing nothing else!

Re: Favourite Place In Midkemia

Well worth it. Some might say!

Argenmar is another place that always springs easily to mind!

Re: Favourite Place In Midkemia

Oh yes! Armengar is so defensible it puts Helms Deep to shame. Hope someone did go back to rebuild it!

Anyone like Roldem?

Re: Favourite Place In Midkemia

S'okay, the masters court was quite intruiging and didn't it have lovely baths/massage parlours. The top quality restaurants are also pretty impressive.

I always wondered that: What happened to Armengar.
Perhaps Feist will return there with Jimmy's great,great,great,great,great,great grandchild.

Re: Favourite Place In Midkemia

I bet he will be called James!

Maybe someone from Martin's line went back, as his wife was from that area. Can't see Marcus or Margaret doing it though.

Re: Favourite Place In Midkemia

I don't know really I couldn't see either Marcus or Margret going to Aremngar and re-building to be honest.

I do like Roldem as well mainly because of the resturants.

Re: Favourite Place In Midkemia

I dunno, I always like Great Kesh although maybe that was more due to the clothes!

I'd probably have to echo Crydee. Just sounds a wonderful place to grow up in.

Re: Favourite Place In Midkemia

has to be Crydee for me,where it all began with Pug and Thomas.
followed by Krondor, being the base for many storylines in later books
