	Darkover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Darkover is the locus of the Darkover series of fantasy and science fiction novels and short stories by Marion Zimmer Bradley and others published since 1962.
		Further, southwest from the forests are Darkover's highlands, plains, salt marshes and arable river valleys.
		Darkover is, apparently, only the most recent stop on their intergalactic travels, and likely to be their last.

	Marion Zimmer Bradley: Darkover Landfall
		Darkover Landfall nails down these hints to a moment in time, the crash of the colony ship and the decisions made by the survivors, creating a history that is obscured in the preceding books.
		Darkover Landfall is the beginning point when the world of Darkover started to get very interesting, when conflict went beyond the swords and sorcery of the earlier books, into the world of the conflict of ideas.
		Darkover Landfall touches on the evolution of technology, the ethics of species survival, ecology, and societal restructuring in the face of change.

		The land which are later to become the Seven Domains are divided by continous border conflicts into a multitude of small, belligerent kingdoms, named for convenience "The Hundred Kingdoms." The close of this era is heralded by the adoption of the Compact, instituted by Varzil the Good.
		A landmark and turning point in the history of Darkover, the Compact bans all distance weapons, making it a matter of honor that one who seeks to kill must himself face equal risk of death.
		The fact that Darkover is a lost colony of the Empire is not easily or readily acknowledged by Darkovans and their Comyn overlords.

	About Darkover
		Bradley felt that the essence of the Darkover novels was the clash between Darkovan and Terran cultures, and didn't originally intend to write about other periods.
		After repeated requests from fans, Bradley filled in Darkover's early centuries with the saga of how the planet's inhabitants evolved a non-technological culture ruled by telepaths, weaving an increasingly complex tapestry of wars fought with telepathic weapons and the tyranny of selective breeding to reinforce the mental powers of the great families.
		The women in the Darkover novels are strong, rational, capable human beings, who both suffer under oppression and rebel effectively against it.

		Unlike many other fantasy series, humans were not created on Darkover, but rather there was a space ship on a trip to begin a colony on another planet when the ship had troubles and crashed on an uncharted planet.
		This novel serves as an introduction to Darkover (I believe it was the first novel in the series that I read years ago) as well as an important time in the history of Darkover (obviously, it is the founding).
		Darkover Landfall may not be the best novel in the series, but it provided enough interest for me to want to read more in the series.

	DVD: Traitor's Sun: A Novel of Darkover (Darkover) $2.90
		Marion Zimmer Bradley wrote stories set in her world of Darkover for sоmеthing like 30 or 40 years; not surprisingly, thе earliest novels were vеrу different from the later ones.
		Bradley about Darkover was the opportunity it provided for comparing and contrasting a highly technological Federation with an archaic, almost medieval culture.
		This, a part of the author's long Darkover series, is one of her last since she died in 1999.

		Also, a pretty little wildflower blooms on Darkover, and when the wind is just right, it's pollen has a remarkably liberating effect on the human mind and emotions.
		Centuries later, Darkover is a feudal kingdom, ruled by seven powerful (in far more than the usual sense) families, with a unique blend of Scottish and Spanish manners and language.
		The Darkover novels are listed in the order written, followed by date of publication and, in parenthesis, a number that indicates where they fall in Darkover's chronological history (for those who want to read them in that order).

	Review of the "Darkover" series by Marion Zimmer Bradley
		You may already know her as the author of "The Mists of Avalon" and "The Firebrand", but Marion Zimmer Bradley was also an excellent writer of science fiction as well.
		DARKOVER was groundbreaking when it came to putting women at the forefront of science fiction and fantasy novels instead of relegating them to the cast of supporting characters behind a "more capable" male protagonist.)
		You can go to her home page and see both the publication order and the chronological order of the books and decide for yourself how to read them.

	Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover, An Omnibus Review
		Set on Bradley's world of Darkover during, as the title explains, the Ages of Chaos, the two stories weave grim tales of genetic manipulation, selective breeding and, yes, inbreeding.
		But the two systems are inexorably linked, and the Terrans have established spaceports on Darkover, making their ties hard to ignore.
		He is drawn into what he sees as a peaceful rebellion; a way of getting his world noticed by the Terrans not as a backward planet, but as a force to be reckoned with.

		Her own development is only part of a larger set of events that culminate in the story related in Traitor's Sun.
		While this novel cannot be enjoyably read without reading another, it continues the tradition of Darkover admirably in relation to the storyline.
		I found it repetitive-- First there was Mikhail's mother, the insane woman at the castle (& the one who was manipulating her), as well as, the telepath who "overshadowed" Margaret in her childhood who she must face once more.

	Constructed world - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tolkien regarded the invention of constructed worlds (which he called "sub-creation", in imitation of God's creation of the universe) as a near-religious act, part of the process he referred to as mythopoeia.
		Other examples of worlds developed for novels include the pseudo-Earth Hyborian Age from the Conan series; Arrakis from the Dune series; Darkover, and the broken world of the Wheel of Time series.
		Lawrence Watt-Evans says that he created Ethshar for use in role-playing games before he started writing novels based in it.

		As Marion's health declined, I was invited to work with her on one or more Darkover novels.
		Marion envisioned a trilogy beginning with the Hastur Rebellion and the fall of Neskaya, the enduring friendship between Varzil the Good and Carolin Hastur, and extending to the fire-bombing of Hali and the signing of the Compact.
		As Carolin and Varzil devote their lives to bring peace to Darkover, Eduin, tormented to the brink of madness by his father's dying command, hides in the gutters of Thendara.
