	Krull constructed the [[Circumfence]], a sturdy wood-stakes-and-ropes barrier running almost a third of the way around the Edge of the Disc. By means of this they have managed to maintain their national wealth. Hapless ships and vessels continuously get washed toward the Edge, and by means of the Circumfence, Krullians are able to salvage many useful things; for example, many houses are constructed from parts of ships. In the old days, people who ran into the Circumfence would get captured by the Krullian navies and serve as slaves or even [[Garhartra\|honoured guests]], at least for a few blissful carefree days... (see {{COM}}). Nowadays, Krullians rescue these people and charge them heavy salvage rates, a much more peaceful but just as profitable use of the barrier (see {{TLH}}).

			{{CDA}} notes that the nation has opened up and liberalised since the old days. The University here is small but competent, has a thriving school of magic unaffiliated in any way to [[Unseen University]], and its best-known and best-funded department is the School of Astrozoology.

'''Krull''' is a large mountainous and wooded island at the Rim of the Disc and also the name of its capital. It has a mountain slightly overhanging the Edge of the Disc. Due to this geographical advantage, many Krullians are astrozoologists, scientists who observe [[Great A'Tuin]] the world turtle and the four [[World Elephant|giant elephants]]. Krull is ruled by the [[Arch-Astronomer]], has its own magical university and doesn't interact much with the other countries. The official language of Krull is the Krullian, although many of them seem to be able to talk with foreigners such as [[Rincewind]] or [[Twoflower]]

Once, the people of Krull lowered a vessel on a rope over the Edge to observe [[Great A'Tuin]], confirming the theory of its existence. Later, the archmage of Krull ordered Goldeneyes Silverhads Dactylos to construct a vessel, The [[Potent Voyager]], that was launched rather than attached by a rope. This vessel got misappropriated by Rincewind and Twoflower, (see {{COM}}) and no further advancement on astrozoology has been reported; but then, few people in other countries are interested in astrozoology in as much detail as the Krullians study it, so maybe there have been advances, they are just not reported on the main continents.

Krull constructed the [[Circumfence]], a sturdy wood-stakes-and-ropes barrier running almost a third of the way around the Edge of the Disc. By means of this they have managed to maintain their national wealth. Hapless ships and vessels continuously get washed toward the Edge, and by means of the Circumfence, Krullians are able to salvage many useful things; for example, many houses are constructed from parts of ships.
