Pseudopolis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pseudopolis is one of the fictional cities of Sto Plains on Terry Pratchett’s Discworld. It is the nearest major city to Ankh-Morpork, (approximately a half day's journey by horse) and is first mentioned in the first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic.

The Colour of Magic also refers to Psephopololis, which according to The Discworld Mapp is the same place.

The city is not to be confused with Pseudopolis Yard, the headquarters of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch - which is a reference to Scotland Yard.

Pseudopolis possesses a school of magic, Braseneck College, which is apparently in competition for prestige with the larger, older Unseen University

[edit] Residents

  • Eric Thursley lives/lived at 13 Midden Lane (Faust Eric).
  • Charlie, a man with an extraordinary resemblance to Ankh-Morpork Patrician Havelock Vetinari, ran a clothes shop there (The Truth).
  • Nobby Nobbs had an early career as an armourer in one of the Pseudopolis city militias. Curiously (and this may be no more than a coincidence, although given Nobby's penchant for nicking and flogging anything not nailed down there may be a connection) Pseudopolis always lost its wars at this period because of an unaccountable shortage of weapons.
  • John Keel, a city watchman who was the chief lecturer of Duke Samuel Vimes when he moved to Ankh-Morpork from Pseudopolis (Night Watch).
