1. Editorial

Welcome to issue 88. This month sees the fourth Discworld Convention take place at Hinckley near Leicester. I am looking forward to meeting up with friends old and new, and remember if you are going to the bar mine's a Strongbow. For more information about the Convention see section 8 of this issue or visit www.dwcon.org

The UK and US proofs of Going Postal have recently been sent out to reviewers. First impressions are great and the fake parcel look of the UK cover fits in well with the postal theme. Look out for a full review nearer the October release.

I am a graduate student studying for my PhD on the topic of early printed books and I thought I might help answer David Park's question #2.

He asked "2. Why are some words with 's' in them spelt with an 'f'. I know this could be to show an accent but I am positive I saw it written like this for an Ankh-Morporkian in one of the books."

I thought it might interest readers to know that it is not actually an "f" at all that replaces an "s" but rather a symbol that denotes a "long s". This indicates an "s" that could otherwise be written as "ss" and pronounced with a hissing sound. If you look at early printed books (and even not so early printed books) you can actually see that it looks like an elongated "s" and doesn't have the horizontal line like an "f". Obviously when you read the word aloud a "long-s" does indeed almost sound like an "f" sound. I presume Terry's use of it is to try to simulate an archaic way of spelling that is difficult to do in modern typefaces because it is no longer a letter in everyday use. As an interesting aside "w" was often typeset as "uu" which is why the letter is known as "double-u". As someone who often has to copy verbatim these weird and wonderful ways of spelling and typesetting, I can inform you that the "false f" (as it were) can actually be found in Times New Roman. If you open Word or similar word processor, type 017F and then hit ALT+X you can see what the letter looks like.

WB replies: Philip gets this month's Letter of the Month for providing a thing we can all try on our computers. Mine's overclocked by 5%. [I couldn't get it to work - Ed].

In Issue 87 Shirley Pomeranz suggested a calculus text in the style of The Science of Discworld. In such a book's absence she may be interested in a book I studied when I was younger called "Calculus The Easy Way" which was the sequel to "Trigonometry The Easy Way" which was the sequel to "Algebra The Easy Way". They're part of a set of books, which all end with 'the easy way', but these 3 are special. Unlike the others in said series of books these 3 are written in story format, very basic fantasy setting. These were the best textbooks I have ever had. I hadn't considered a Terry Pratchett version, and it probably wouldn't quite fit. Maybe a calculus text by Leonard da Quirm though...

As time goes on I discover more sources of the materials used by Terry Pratchett in constructing and detailing the world on the Disc. What seems like pure invention - e.g., Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky - is quite often taken from place names, historical names, phrases in various languages, etc.

The other day I discovered (or so I think) the origin of the name of the kingdom of Lancre, home of the witches Esme Weatherwax, Gytha Ogg and Magrat Garlick. In the early 17th century a member of the Parlement of Bordeaux in southern France by name of PIERRE DE LANCRE was sent to the mountainous Basque region to investigate complaints made by the local inhabitants about witches and their doings. His report concluded that it was the local population's ignorance and the harsh conditions of their lives which accounted for the problems, rather than witchcraft...

Terry Pratchett has the ability to retain Ramtop mountains of data gleaned from everything he comes across - scientific publications, history books, films etc - which he then painstakingly works into his stories. That is what gives the Discworld such verisimilitude, and distinguishes it from all other imaginary worlds.

Last month the following question was asked:

"On another note, being myself a non-English speaking native I don't get the pun in the title "Witches Abroad". Since this is the only pun-in-title I don't get, please be kind and tell me."

Actually... I think this may refer to an old joke; along the lines of (rustic accent): "Don't set foot on them moors! There be witches abroad tonight" to which the reply is "Good. They won't be bothering us then".

Something of small interest to Discworld readers.

A group of Second Year students studying history at Birmingham University gave a presentation on martyrs and heretics in the reformation era, and one of the sources cited was the "Theatrum Crudelitatum Haereticorum Nostri Temporis" of 1587, by Richard Verstegan (probably Dutch, I think).

As we all know, that translates something like: The theatre of cruelty of heretics of our time. Remind anyone of the title of a short story by Mr Pratchett?

I wonder if anyone can recall any instances of Polari in the Pratchett canon.

Re-reading Wyrd Sisters I was struck by 'latty', which only in TP seems to mean 'cart'. Latty was, as aficionados of Round the Horne will know, the Polari word for flat or home.

No doubt TP grew up, as did I, enjoying (though perhaps with less than complete comprehension), the adventures of Jules and his friend Sandy, and I would be interested to hear if there are any other Polari usages that I have missed.

I just wanted to let you know that Terry received a Doctor of Letters degree today from the University of Bristol. I was there for the ceremony and managed to say hello to Terry at the garden party afterwards. I've always wanted to shake him by the hand and say "thank you" for the books. Today was my day :)

5. Review: Mort performed by the Hilton Amateur Theatrical Society

by Maggie Wilde mega.woman@virgin.net

I heard about this production from Discworld Monthly on the net and thought, it's June I can go and camp. So that's just what I did.

The village hall wasn't hard to find and although the play started at 7.30pm by 7pm there was already quite a queue. Hilton Amateur Theatrical Society (HATS) are very popular it would appear. There were signs outside warning people of the strobe light effects and pyrotechnics - my mind boggled. I bought a programme for 30p in the shape of a life-timer. A neat touch, I thought. (1 GBP worth of raffle tickets came to nought but then I couldn't win an argument).

The opening act took place on the lower part of a split level stage. The hiring fair where Mort waits, only to be hired by the very last comer and the last person you'd wish to meet at midnight or any other time for that matter.

Death was a very tall impressive figure. His height, I discovered was enhanced by a lethal pair of jogging shoes that added about 6 or 7 inches hidden under Richard Kirkland's black robes. The special effects for his piercing blue eyes were also innovative but I won't give all their secrets away. Like the illuminating scythe as it cut through the last remains of mortality, again, very neat.

Death's study played most of the backdrop for the rest of the play although you could believe you were somewhere entirely different when the moment arose. I had wondered how they would portray a flying horse and I was not disappointed. Binky took to the air by the magic of lighting effects all around the auditorium to several well known themes one of them being E.T.!

The characters were fantastic, a very believable Cutwell, played by Paul Redfern, with ingenious reversible outfit made by an inventive wardrobe department, looked for all the (Disc)world as you would have expected and performed just so.

Albert had a rather menacing sniff made all the more sickly by a dewdrop permanently on the end of his nose, Ugh! Make-up, costume and characterisation again, in keeping with the character.

The part of Mort, a very difficult part, as the character changes from a bumbling inquisitive boy to a likeness of Death Himself proved to be a great challenge for this amateur company.

The acting was as you would expect from an amateur company, but very entertaining. A haughty Princess, an arrogant Ysobel, some players taking several parts but very well, all contributed to a very enjoyable play.

Well done to Ben Dowell the director, Rob Chorley for his special effects and an admirable cast and stage crew. And thank you, too for making me so welcome.

7. The Heraldry Of The Disc - Part 1 of 2

by David Woodall D.Woodall@uea.ac.uk

Given recent media interest in the Grant of Arms to Colin Powell by the Court of Lord Lyon in Scotland, I thought it would be interesting to do a survey of the Science of Heraldry as practised on Discworld, and how it compares to its use here on Earth.

As a world with a strong aristocratic tradition, it is not surprising that Discworld has a large heraldic heritage. The most extensive evidence for heraldry on Discworld is contained within Feet of Clay and the Companion.

At least around the Circle Sea, heraldry appears to be the responsibility of the Ankh-Morpork Royal College of Heralds, equivalent to Roundworld's Royal College of Arms in England, and the Court of Lord Lyon in Scotland. For the purposes of this study, Discworld heraldry will be examined in the light of the Royal College of Arms (henceforth the RCA). The Ankh-Morpork College (henceforth the AMC), unlike its Roundworld equivalent, appears to have no separate figure like the RCA's Earl Marshal as its head: instead, control of the college is given over to one of the Kings of Arms. Like the RCA, the AMC has three of these officers, including Dragon, who is the equivalent to the RCA's Garter Principle, in that he is the senior with special responsibility for the aristocracy. He combines these duties with those of the Earl Marshal. The other Kings, Hubward and Rimward, are equivalent to the RCA's Clarenceux (south of the river Trent) and Norroy (north of the Trent).

The AMC has six heralds: Chirm, Al Khali and Genua Heralds (under the jurisdiction of Rimward King) and Pseudopolis, Lancre and Sto Lat (under Hubward King). Many of these are named after states which at one time or another have been in some way subordinate to Ankh-Morpork. Likewise the RCA has six heralds named after possessions of the Royal or Beaufort families: Chester, Lancaster, Richmond, Somerset, Windsor and York. Both Colleges have four Pursuivants (assistants). In the case of the RCA, Bluemantle (blue cloak), Portcullis, Rouge Croix (red cross) and Rouge Dragon (red dragon), all names with royal or national associations. The AMC's Pursuivants are listed as Pardessus Chatain (Brown Overcoat), Croissant Vert (green crescent, not as Vimes believes a small breakfast roll!) [*1] , Garderobe (toilet) and Rouge Dragon de Marais (red swamp dragon). The AMC also has two Pursuivants Extraordinary, Scrote and Ankh; although the Companion states that their "duties are unclear", presumably like Roundworld Pursuivants Extraordinary they are part time assistants.

Unlike in the RCA, only three positions are filled at the time of the novels: Dragon King of Arms, Croissant Vert (Sid) and Pardessus Chatain (Frank). After events in Feet of Clay it is not clear if the post of Dragon King of Arms is currently occupied.

As for the practicalities of drawing up an achievement of arms, Discworld Heraldry deviates somewhat from Roundworld practices. There are variations in terminology, for example 'right' and 'left' are sometimes used in preference to 'dexter' and 'sinister', and a different method of blazoning (describing) the arms is used. For example, compare the description of the Assassins' Guild Arms given in the Companion [*2] with how an English herald might blazon them [*3].

Footnotes:

*1 There appears to be some confusion here. Sid introduces
himself in Feet of Clay as Croissant Rouge, not Vert, and he should know. But it would seem unlikely that two Pursuivants would bear the same colour, and the Companion states Vert. Or is this an indication that he is combining the duties of Croissant Vert with Rouge Dragon de Marais? In any case, see the Famous Note About Consistency, i.e. "there are no inconsistencies, merely alternative pasts."

*2 "a shield, bisected by a bend sinister, purpure. In the
upper-right half a poignard d'or, draped with a masque en sable, lined gris on a field gules. In the bottom-left half two croix d'or on a sable field."

*3 Per bend sinister a bend sinister purpure, dexter gules on a
mantle sable lined gris a dagger or, sinister sable two crosses or.

8. Last Minute Convention News

It's less than a month away, now. The barriers between this dimension and the Discworld are becoming thinner and on the 20th of August, in a hotel in Hinckley, when the two worlds are at their closest, a portal will open and a rabble of exotic and degenerate creatures will pour through it. Let's hope they don't scare the inhabitants of the Discworld too much.

In other words, the Fourth Discworld Convention will be taking place from the 20th to the 23rd of August at the Hanover International Hotel in Hinckley.

At the head of our invasion force you will find the regular command staff of Bernard Pearson, Steven Briggs, Trevor Truran, Dave Langford, Diane Duane, Peter Morwood, Paul Kidby, Ian Stewart, Jack Cohen, Colin Smythe and, of course, General Terence "Drywall" Pratchett. Lionel Fanthorpe (of Fortean TV fame) and Graham Higgins (illustrator of the graphic novels "Mort" and "Guards! Guards!") have also been issued call-up papers.

We've organised some entertainments for the troops. There will be aphrodisiac recipes, belly dancing classes, book signings, book readings, books to buy, read and sign, auctions, plays, workshops, competitions, panel games, the Gala dinner, a Maskerade, the Great Hedgehog Race and the Leonardo de Quirm Aerial Challenge. The full list of programme events is available at our website www.dwcon.org/ where you will also find maps, booking forms and other helpful information.

So what are you waiting for? We still have a few places left, so sign up to see the Discworld, visit new places, meet interesting people and kill them in colourful ways. Your convention needs you!
