Confirmations and Revelations

  • More recent surveys confirm The Discworld Mapp's separation of about 800 miles between Lancre and Ankh-Morpork. The earlier mentions of 500 miles in the text may be assumed to be guesstimates.
  • Quirm, likewise, is confirmed to be about 200 miles from Ankh, not 60 as once suggested.
  • Skund and its eponymous forest have continued their movement rimward-by-widdershins to a position hubward of the Morpork Mountains and approaching the River Smarl. The phenomenon also seems to have increased in area.
