View source for Duc

A frog who struck it lucky, or so he thought. Against the usual run of these things, a witch turned this frog into a human and offered him a Dukedom. Nominally the Duc of [[Genua]] (could there be a [[Quirm|Quirmian]] connection with this title?), he wore thick sunglasses to conceal his giveaway eyes, as [[Nature of eyes|eyes]] can never be changed in any magical transformation. 

This slightly existentially confused frog, who became human, who became a Duc, is just a prawn (er, pawn) in [[Lily Weatherwax|Lilith de Tempscire]]'s fowl scheme to supplant [[Baron Samedi]] as ruler of Genua. Unfortunately mere death has not stopped the Baron being a focal point for opposition: he has returned, fittingly for the home of voodoo magic, as a [[zombies|zombie]]. 

Lilith, who knows stories, knows it only needs the right kiss at the right time to make the Duc human forever and to seal his right (within the power of [[Narrative Causality|narrative causality]]) to rule Genua.

Enter [[Granny Weatherwax]] to thwart her sister's scheming, supported by [[Nanny Ogg]] and [[Magrat Garlick]].

The Duc, whose bedroom is unique in that it contains no actual bed, but a covered pond (Duc-pond?) and plenty of flies to snack on, is returned  to froghood and a brief despairing crunchy ''Ribbit'' under the boot of Baron Samedi.
