'''Morpork''' is the half of [[Ankh-Morpork]] [[widdershins]] of the river [[Ankh (river)|Ankh]].

It is not necessary to say "downtown Ankh-Morpork". Morpork is downtown. It's down in every category known to sociology and political economy, down geographically, financially, aesthetically and morally. Ankh has mansions and parks; Morpork has abattoirs and tanneries, warehouses and cathouses, dingy taverns and, below all, [[the Shades]]. It's also, overwhelmingly, where Ankh-Morpork's work is done. It contains most of the industry, commerce and shipping that support a city-state with no natural resources beyond a barely navigable river. It also includes [[Unseen University]], the [[Patrician's Palace]] and the halls of most of the ruling [[guilds]], so while the old-money aristocracy and the guild leaders may reside in [[Ankh (city)|Ankh]], the power and control are exercised in Morpork.

Most of the locations for the many books about or including Ankh-Morpork, apart from Pseudopolis Yard and the Ramkin mansion, are in Morpork. This is because it may be dirty, evil-smelling and dangerous, but it's always interesting.

The city shares its name with an owl native to the [[Foggy Islands]]. No one knows why.
