Discworld Geography

Discworld Geography

This article concerns the fictional geography of Terry Pratchett's Discworld, featured in the novel series of the same name. The Discworld is a flat disc on the backs of four elephants, who are in turn on the back of a giant turtle, Great A'Tuin. It is noted in the very first book of the series The Colour of Magic that due to the magic on the Discworld light is much slower than on earth and is often impeded by geographic features such as mountains and valleys.
