Discworld is an amazing place filled with magic and wit. Unlike your boring, spherical Earth, Discworld is a large disc located on the back of four giant elephants (named Berilia, Tubul, Great T’Phon, and Jerakeen) which are located on the back of a Giant Star Turtle named Great A’Tuin.  The disc is 10,000 miles across making it about two fifths the size of Earth. On the Disc things work differently. Magic exists and so do wizards in all their pointy hat glory. Things like light go slower than most people and thousands and thousands of gods exist.
