Lancre Town lies near the Lancre Bridge over the [[Lancre River]], beneath [[Lancre Castle]];
it is the principal town of the Kingdom of [[Lancre]]. Lancrastians can't be having with
learning a whole lot of different [[Metasyntactic variable|wossnames]]. The Castle is home to King [[Verence II|Verence]] and
family; the Town is ruled by that Queen among Witches, [[Gytha Ogg]] and populated by
scores of her descendants. Nanny Ogg's house is not your typical witch's cottage; it's a
modern bungalow, cheerfully, if not tastefully, decorated. It is surrounded by about two
dozen houses of mixed affluence, mingled with the shops of the usual trades (notably
[[Jason Ogg]]'s forge) and the ''[[Goat and Bush]]'' Tavern. ''Poorchick's'', a produce factor
and food processor, is probably the town's biggest business. Up a small path from the town
are [[the Dancers]], eight stones made of thunderbolt iron, in a rough circle. They mark
an entrance to the [[Fairyland|realm]] of the [[Queen of the Elves]], which needs watching
by the local witches.<sup>(1)</sup>

Lancre is the kind of town where everybody knows your name, and her name, and where you were
until all hours last night...A secret will last more than a few minutes if everyone's asleep,
and a good mob can be convened in minutes, complete with torches and menacing farm implements.
With catering. And an open bar. If no such entertainment is provided, there's a pint and a
singalong at the Goat & Bush, tobacco and low humor around Jason's forge, or a meeting of the
[[Lancre Morris Men]] to work on some steps and a jug of [[Scumble]].

To learn more about this quaint [[Ramtops]] hideaway, consult {{TGL}}, or books in the [[:category:Witches Series|Witches Series]].
