| The Discworld is a flat planet Like a Pizza. The reasons of it's existance are unknown, it could be because of some impossible blip on the edge of reality, or because the Gods enjoy a joke as much as any body else. The disk is supported on 4 elephants which in turn stand on the back of the Great Star Turtle, Great A'tuin!! To the center of the disk (or hubward as its called) there are the Ramtops (the Himalayers of the discworld) at the edge of the disc is the Rim-fall a never ending water fall of the edge of the disc which disappears in to space. There are 4 major 'continents' on the Disc.These are: KLATCH- Which could be described as the Discworld's Africa containing the more or less unexplored regions of Howondaland and Hersheba. XXXX-A hidden continent which rumours believe is inhabited by giant leaping rats, huge flightless chickens and er, a lost colony of Wizards which have corks dangling down from their pointed hats. It is believed to be located near the rim where the circle sea so strangely falls and disappeares. THE (UNNAMED) CONTINENT- This continent stretches all the way to the hub and ends in Ankh-Morpork It contains the Ramtops and the sto-plains. (Ankh-Morpork being the biggest city on the disk) THE COUNTERWEIGHT CONTINENT-A continent both smaller than Klatch and the unnamed continent. It is said to be made of gold, but sailors always come back empty handed.Its home to the Agatean empire wich is NOT a miky take of china. |
