Sep 30, 2017 at 3:03	comment	added	Harry Johnston		I think I'd have to re-read the entire series to do that, which isn't going to happen in the near future. I'll try to keep it in mind though and get back to you eventually. I think it went something along the lines of "this world was only created so that you'd have a place to stand" but I may be misremembering or misinterpreting it. Perhaps someone with a better memory will speak up. :-)
Sep 30, 2017 at 2:56	comment	added	akaioi		@HarryJohnston do you have a passage for this? I'll be excited if there is one! As I remember it, the Universe was created for a reason and then that reason bifurcated -- hence two prophecies. This was when the Prophecy was explaining to Garion using the throwing a rock to bounce off another rock analogy. I'd understood that the world (hell, pretty much everything but Torak) was supposed to be there, just aimed in the wrong direction. So please do hit me with the passage if you can locate it!
Sep 30, 2017 at 2:26	comment	added	Harry Johnston		There's a subtlety here. If I remember rightly, the entire world, including the Gods (with the possible exception of Ul) were only created in the first place in order to serve as a battleground between the two Prophecies. So in that sense they all only exist because of the accident. It's not entirely clear to me why Torak is any different. Out-of-universe, the confusion mainly arises because of the retcons that were necessary in order to write a second series.
