From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Veelox is a fictional territory in the The Pendragon Adventure by D.J. MacHale. Almost all the inhabitants are in a program called Lifelight where they live out their own dreams in a virtual reality. Lifelight buildings are pyramid-shaped. The main food source is called gloid, and it is a nutritional substance of 3 different colors and flavors. The only vehicle mentioned is a car with 3 wheels.
According to The Guide to the Territories of Halla, Veelox is 70% land.
[edit] Spoilers
- Veelox is the first territory of Halla lost to Saint Dane. This is disputed between Bobby Pendragon and Saint Dane in the sixth book when Bobby tells him that "Veelox was a draw."(page 53) However, in the seventh book Veego and Laberge tell Bobby how Veelox is doing. It's not good, more people are dying, and now even the gloid plants are dying.
- The only form he takes is of Dr. Kree Sever, who he uses to insure the final destruction of Veelox.
- At the end of The Reality Bug, Saint Dane convinces the people of Veelox that Lifelight insures no danger and that everything is again under control, making the citizens spend their lives once again in lifelight and also causing the loss and destruction of Veelox.
