	The continent of XXXX sports a tangled space-time continuum, in which a story to fool foreigners at one location becomes a reality some miles away; for example, on one ranch, the [[Drop bear\|drop-bears]] were stories to scare foreigners, but some miles away, a traveller ([[Rincewind]]) was indeed attacked by drop-bears. There are also "places where there's very little time, and times when there's hardly any place." As the [[Trickster]], alias "Scrappy" ([[hoki\|Hoki?]], whose name is uncannily similar to that of the eponymous star of the Australian children's television series, "Skippy"), says, "imagine the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle, only the piece is a bloody great continent which has got to be turned through about nine dimensions" until it finally slots into place.
