Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Gwendalavir Universe is a French Fantasy Literature series of books consisting of four trilogies (plus an aborted fifth one) written by the late Pierre Bottero. All of these books take place in the eponymous world of Gwendalavir.La Quête d'Ewilan (Ewilan's Quest) : La Quête is the first trilogy in the Gwendalavir Universe. It tells the story of Camille, a young girl who accidentally discovers that she has the ability to travel to the Alternate Universe of Gwendalavir. Accompanied by her best friend Salim, she learns that she actually comes from this world, that her real name is Ewilan, and that she posses an ability known as "Drawing" that allows her to create things from her imagination. It turns out that the guardians of this world, known as "Sentinels", have been imprisoned by evil creatures known as the Ts'Liches, leading the Empire defenseless ; Ewilan will thus go on a quest to free the Sentinels and defeat the Ts'Liches, with the help of not only Salim, but also many other allies encountered along the way.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Les Mondes d'Ewilan (Ewilan's Worlds) : Les Mondes is the second trilogy in the Gwendalavir Universe, and is a direct sequel to the first one. Between the events of the first and second trilogy, Ewilan has been captured in our world by a Secret Government Warehouse that's actually under the orders of Elea Ril'Morienval, a traitor to the Empire of Gwendalavir, and it's up to Salim to rescue her. Afterwards, they will discover that the dimension that drawers get their powers from, known as the "Imagination", is under the control of a demon referred to as the "Medusa", preventing anyone from drawing. The team from the first trilogy thus reunites, and goes on a new quest to destroy the demon and save Gwendalavir.L'Autre (The Other) : L'Autre is the third trilogy in the Gwendalavir Universe. It follows the adventure of Nathan, a boy who seems to inhumanely excel at every sport he plays, and Shaé, a girl who constantly has to battle with the "Thing", an entity living inside of her that thirsts for blood and forces her to turn into a killer hyena when the thirst takes over. When Nathan's parents are assassinated, he discovers that he is part of several of the Seven Families, seven lineages of individuals with exceptional superhuman abilitiesNote "Guides" can perceive possible futures, "Builders" can build and use doors to an alternate dimension, "Metamorphs" can turn into animals, "Healers" have exceptional healing abilites, "Mnesics" have a whole mental encyclopedia at their disposal, "Scholiasts" can learn instantly anything they see, and "Cogists" have exceptional physical and mental abilities., as his father was a Cogist and his mother a Mnesic. Around the same time, Shaé discovers that she herself is a Metamorph. Together, they'll set off on a quest to destory The Other, an evil entity that was sealed away centuries ago.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Le Pacte des Marchombres (The Shadowalkers' Pact) : Le Pacte is the fourth trilogy in the Gwendalavir Universe, and is a Spin-Off of the first two trilogies. The first two books take place before the Ewilan trilogies, whereas the third one takes place after. It centers around the character of Ellana, and tells the story of her childhood, and how she joined the guild of the Marchombres ("Shadowalkers"). As the story goes on, we see Ellana undergoing the intesive training of a Marchombre, under the tutelage of her master Jilano, but also attempting to fight against a guild of former, corrupted Marchombres : the Mercenaries of Chaos.Les Âmes Croisées (The Crossed Souls) : Les Âmes is the first book of the incomplete fifth and final trilogy in the Gwendalavir Universe. It tells the story of Nawel, a pretentious and arrogant 17 year old girl. As part of the highest social class, she is destined to join one of nine casts, named Robes, that will determine her future role : Mage, Ruler, Priest, Healer, Magistrate, Scribe, Engineer, Historian, or Geographer. However, after her arrogance causes two innocent deaths, she starts questioning herself and her choices, and ends up deciding to join the mysterious tenth casts known as the Armours, whose duties involve protecting the people of the land against ancient dangers. Published posthumously, its ending seems to indicate that the rest of the trilogy would've tied every universe established in the previous trilogies together.

Instant Expert: Scholiasts learn anything they spend sufficient time seeing done in front of them. Played with: Nathan was good enough at anything they taught him in school to be top of his class if he didn't disguise it. However, he trains with an old Martial Arts master later in the book. Despite paying extreme attention while the master teaches his normal students, and then receiving a private fencing session during which he demonstrates that he's far above the others, he openly admits to Shae that he's nowhere near the master's level, and doubts that he could ever approach it through a lifetime of training.

Salim starts off as kind of immature and mostly useless, especially next to the powerful Reality-Warping Ewilan. However, after discovering his ability to turn into a wolf and undergoing training with Ellana, he becomes much more of a badass, to the point where he's the one saving Ewilan in the first volume of Les Mondes. By the end of Le Pacte, he's a fully accomplished Marchombre.

Canon Welding: This series bridges Les Mondes and L'Autre, featuring the Pratnum Vorax and the Kharx and giving a rough timeline that both series take place in comparatively to each other. The Chaos Mercenaries worship The Other, though they are unaware of its true form or purpose.

comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: The entire plot of the entire Gwendalavir series is caused because Altan 'Gil Sayan cheats on Élicia with Éléa, then abandons Éléa when she becomes pregnant. He refuses to see her even when she is dying in childbirth. The death of her child along with being abandoned results in Éléa giving up on the world entirely and desiring its destruction via any means necessary.

Playing with a Trope
 Gwendalavir Universe / int_8741b74
comment
Played with: Nathan was good enough at anything they taught him in school to be top of his class if he didn't disguise it. However, he trains with an old Martial Arts master later in the book. Despite paying extreme attention while the master teaches his normal students, and then receiving a private fencing session during which he demonstrates that he's far above the others, he openly admits to Shae that he's nowhere near the master's level, and doubts that he could ever approach it through a lifetime of training.

comment
Eldritch Abomination: From Les Mondes: The Medusa is an ever-growing tentacled entity inhabiting the Imagination, preventing anyone from drawing and devouring anyone who entered the Imagination for too long. It was eventually revealed to be an ancient evil god known as "Ahmour". Otolep's Eye is a benign Abomnation that connects the worlds of Imagination and Gwendalavir but is also sentient and wants Ahmour destroyed. From L'Autre: The Other is an ancient entity bent on taking over the world, divided three parts : Jalaab (the Strength) serves as a brute force to eliminate threats, Onjü (The Heart) wrecks chaos by causing natural catastrophes and playing with people hearts, and Eqkter (the Soul) enslaves humanity by starting wars and turning men into cowards.

He is an extremely competent, unrivaled fighter, whose simple presence in battle means an almost guaranteed victory. On top of that, he's also a competent commander and a charismatic leader, with an unwavering loyalty for Gwendalavir.

Training from Hell: Training exercises to become a Marchombre include, but are not limited to : swimming through raging waters during winter, staying balanced on a rope during a gale, escaping an island surrounded by a lake where a huge crocodile livesnote This one is actually meant to exercise your mind : the lake is located inside a cave, and no fishes live in the lake. Thus, you're supposed to deduce that the crocodile sustains on micro-organisms, and will therefore not attack you shall you decide to swim through the lake., traveling through hostile lands to reach a mountain that will attempt to drive you insane if it deems you impure, and climbing a mountain with your arms and legs tied up.

Clark's Third Law: Many in this world believe that the wonderful items crafted by the lost civilisation are magical, while the reader understands that they are hyper-advanced technology. Discussed during the book. Also played with : this world has magic, which only mages learn to wield. It is unclear whether they have no idea how Ancient technology works and so assume it is a more advanced form of magic, or if they understand a little ("Names" and "Threads" in their vocabulary might be compared to files, commands and routines), which they then pass off as magic. We'll never know.
