Belgari

Belgari is a fictional world created by author David Eddings. It is the primary setting for his epic fantasy series, The Belgariad. The world is characterized by a complex history, numerous kingdoms, and a pantheon of gods who actively influence the lives of mortals. The central conflict revolves around the struggle between good and evil, personified by the god Belgarath and the dark god Torak respectively.

The story of The Belgariad follows Garion, a young boy who discovers he is destined to play a crucial role in the fight against Torak. His journey takes him across the diverse lands of the Belgari, from the relatively peaceful Kingdom of Riva to the more war-torn lands of Boktor. Along the way, he is aided by a cast of memorable characters, including sorcerers, warriors, and kings, each with their own motivations and secrets.

Magic plays a significant role in the Belgari, often wielded by sorcerers who draw power from ancient sources. Prophecies and destiny are recurring themes, shaping the events of the narrative and the choices of the characters. The worldbuilding in the Belgari is rich, with detailed descriptions of cultures, religions, and political landscapes. While The Belgariad is the most famous series set in this world, Eddings also wrote a sequel series, The Malloreon, continuing the adventures of Garion and his companions.
