Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Majipoor Series is a Planetary Romance Science Fantasy series by Robert Silverberg; probably his most popular and successful work. Starting with the award-winning Lord Valentine's Castle in 1980, the series has grown to include half a dozen novels and several short-story stories.Majipoor is a very large planet, although its low density and lack of heavy metals means that its gravity is similar to Earth's. It's a remote backwater, but several different species live on the planet, including humans, who constitute the majority of the population, and the shape-shifting native Piurivar. The society is agrarian and feudal, ruled by four people: the Coronal (Lord Valentine in the first novel), who lives in a great castle atop Castle Mount; the Pontifex, who is always the previous Coronal, and who lives deep underground in The Labyrinth; the Lady of the Isle of Sleep, who is always the Coronal's mother, and who sends dreams to the planet's inhabitants; and the King of Dreams, who lives on the remote continent of Suvrael, and who sends nightmares to punish wrongdoers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In the first book (as the series was written), Lord Valentine, the current Coronal, has lost his memory, and must make his way across the planet on a journey of self-discovery. The next two books, Majipoor Chronicles and Valentine Pontifex also focused on Lord Valentine, but other books in the series, especially the prequels, have simply shared the setting.A French comic adaptation started in 2009.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) Books in the series (in internal chronological order): Sorcerers of Majipoor (1997) Lord Prestimion (1999) King of Dreams (2000) Lord Valentine's Castle (1980) Majipoor Chronicles (story collection, 1982) Valentine Pontifex (1983) The Mountains of Majipoor (1995) | |

Let's Meet the Meat | |
| Majipoor Series / int_5eb7e838 | comment |
Let's Meet the Meat: One of the titular planet's native (most of the population are immigrants from the other worlds) sentient species, the enormous and psychic water-lords, are actively hunted by the most of the land-dwelling inhabitantsnote well, except another native species, who worship them as gods, but it's a long story, mainly because for the most of the planet's history nobody knew that they are sentient. In the unexpected twist, the water-lords are perfectly okay with being hunted and eaten, as they view this as a moral obligation, and generally consider death differently from the all other races. Yes, they are weird. | |

Interspecies Romance: Majipoor Chronicles features two such stories: "Thesme and the Ghayrog" (human/Ghayrog) and "The Soul-Painter and the Shapeshifter" (human/Piurivar, and he finds her true form more appealing because it's honest). | |

Lizard Folk: The Ghayrogs, one of the many species living on Majipoor, resemble humanoid lizards, right down to their forked tongues. They display little emotion, rarely sleep, and sometimes serve as functionaries in the human-dominated government. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
| Majipoor Series / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Water-lords have been hunted for meat like game animals since the planet was founded. Later in the original series, it's revealed that they're sapient...and despite this (and despite the fact that they put up a fight when hunted), their attitudes towards death result in their stance on the matter being roughly "by all means, keep eating us; it's a great honor, and a service that we provide." | |

| Majipoor Series / int_ed3a5a30 | comment |
Big Labyrinthine Building: The Labyrinth, home of the Pontifex, who is always the last Coronal to serve on Castle Mount. This strange city is in a desert region and is built almost entirely below ground. Many layers beneath the ground, the bureaucracy that actually runs Majipoor is busy with their statistical analyses and other "official" paperwork. The Pontifex himself, technically the top executive of the planet, is more or less stuck here. | |
