Ankh-Morpork

Ankh-Morpork is a fictional city-state which features in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of fantasy novels. As cities go, it is on the far side of corrupt and polluted, and is subject to outbreaks of comedic violence and brou-ha-ha on a fairly regular basis. It is home to the Unseen University, a centre of magical learning.

Real-World Connections

Ankh-Morpork is twinned with the town of Wincanton in Somerset, in the south-west United Kingdom on the spherical planet Earth (also known as Roundworld). The town is home to a Discworld shop called The Cunning Artificer which is named after a street in Ankh-Morpork. The fact that witches, wizards and even The Luggage have been seen in the vicinity of the shop suggests that it may be one of the wandering shops encountered in The Light Fantastic and Soul Music.
