Hubwards

From Discworld & Terry Pratchett Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Maps, directions and navigation on the Discworld are fundamentally different from the more common spheroidal planets, in that there are no poles and any system of rectangular co-ordinates would eventually cause you to sail off the edge. Directions are given by polar co-ordinates indicating "inward", "outward", and "around", with or against the rotation of the disc. "Inward" is toward the Hub, or hubwards. The other directions (q.v.) are Rimwards, Turnwise and Widdershins.
