The Legends of the Riftwar novels occur between Magician and Silverthorn. The Riftwar Legacy occurs between the Riftwar Saga and Krondor's Sons. The Empire Trilogy starts during Magician and concludes after A Darkness at Sethanon. Most Riftwar novels' stories occur in chronological order following the publishing order, with a few exceptions. Feist claims to have been unaware of this origin when he wrote Magician. As a result, much of the background of Kelewan - the Tsurani Empire, the lack of metals and horses, the Cho'ja, the pantheons of 10 major and 10 minor gods - comes from Tekumel. The original D&D campaign which he based his books on had an invasion of the Midkemia world by Tekumel. Barker's Empire of the Petal Throne was the source for much of Kelewan. įeist acknowledges that the Tekumel setting from M. The original group have since formed a company called Midkemia Press, which has continued publishing campaigns set in that universe. After some time, when the group changed and began meeting on Fridays, they became known as the Friday Nighters. They called themselves the Thursday Nighters, because they played the Midkemia role-playing game every Thursday evening. When Feist studied at the University of California, San Diego, he and his friends created a new role-playing game based on their own original world of Midkemia. Midkemia was originally created as an alternative to the Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) role-playing game. The novels and short stories of The Riftwar Universe record the adventures of various people on these worlds.

Human magicians and other creatures on the two planets are able to create rifts through dimensionless space that can connect planets in different solar systems. The majority of Feist's works are part of The Riftwar Universe, and feature the worlds of Midkemia and Kelewan.
