Nakor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nakor is a fictional character in Raymond E. Feist's epic novels. He first appears in Prince of the Blood, aiding Borric enter the palace of the Empress of Kesh. He appears in several later series, including the Krondor's Son's Saga, the Serpentswar Saga, the Conclave of Shadows and the Darkwar Saga.
Nakor is an Isalani, a race of Keshians from the province of Isalan, who are described as having yellowed skin, and reputedly are talented in many different trades, not the least of which being thievery. Nakor is an eclectic, eccentric and extremely humorous character, with a unique view on "things" and "stuff". He's known for his endless supply of oranges from his rucksack, even though it appears empty. He is also a gambler, and frequently wins by cheating.
His views on magic are seemingly revolutionary in the world of Midkemia. His thoughts, mostly abstract, have impacted the perception of magic. Nakor believes that the universe is a big bubble, expanding outwards, and that rifts are bends in the bubble.
A large portion of Nakor's knowledge may have been endowed to him by the Codex of Wodar Hospur, and in exchange for it, he was rendered mad for a good part of his life, which explains his eccentric nature. This artifact, thought lost for centuries, is supposed to contain every known fact in the world. He turned it over to the temple of Ishap during the Serpentwar Saga.
In the Darkwar books, Nakor finds a young man named Ralen Bek. Nakor feels he is important, and explains to Pug that Bek is a shade of Nalar, The Nameless One.
Is Nakor a dog?
