"The Great Wahoonie!"
This is Ankh-Morpork, oldest and greatest and grubbiest of cities.
Ankh-Morpork, jewel of cities, nestles in the heart of the Sto Plains a number of miles upstream from the estuary on the River Ankh. It is actually two cities, proud Ankh and pestilential Morpork, connected by many bridges, the most famous of which is the Brass Bridge. Ankh-Morpork houses the headquarters of most, though not all, of the Discworld guilds and is the centre of commerce for the Sto Plains and the Circle Sea, attracting merchants from far and wide. Not surprisingly, therefore, as a seeker of adventure, you will find yourself in this great city many times in your quest for fame and fortune.
Continuous Improvements
Since the decision was made to model Ankh-Morpork according to "The Streets of Ankh-Morpork" by Stephen Briggs and Terry Pratchett, most of our streets have been more or less autogenerated. The aim of the domain is to replace all the autogenerated text with handcrafted descriptions, as well as adding interesting features and NPC's to populate the streets.
Development Focus
While AM will continue to add projects on a per street and even per feature basis, the general domain focus is now on the area just west of the Shades and the Shades itself. As this is a gigantic enterprise, don't expect any major changes to the area in the near future.

Awkward Customer - Sun Jan 1 22:46:23 2012
An awful lot of awkward red-headed children have been spotted in the neighbourhood south of Five Ways recently. Locals have reported an unease in their presence and the City Watch have increased patrols in the area to prevent crimes both from and against these ginger youngsters. Their parents have also promised to keep a close look on them.
Just Another Victim Of The Ambient Morality - Sun Dec 25 18:40:33 2011
A long-overdue clean-up action took place in Ankh-Morpork's cattle district. So much dirt was removed from the area between Endless Street and Cockbill Street that whole new alleys were rediscovered, after previously being lost under layers of largely organic grime. One unfortunate side-effect is that it has attracted packs of highly annoying dogs.
Weaver Street gets a face lift. - Tue Dec 6 02:11:10 2011
Those wishing to find unusual yet practical gifts for their friends and loved ones this Hogswatch may find that special something at Baguette's Custom Bag Shoppe, now situated permanently on the newly renovated Weaver Street. In addition, a young man has recently been spotted along Weaver Street offering cheap but gainful employment to those poor penniless unfortunates seen sifting through our fair city's gutters. It is our sincere hope that even the poorest among you shall be able to afford a little something for your nearest and dearest. The City of Ankh-Morpork Wishing You a Merry Hogswatch! PS: Lots of kudos to Kadigan for Weaver street and Strangeloop for the occasional helping hand. I coded Baguette with creative input from Kadigan and AM Architect Elera, and the ever-knowledgeable Presto to help with the more obscure bugs (fixing them, not creating them!) Thank you for the hard work.

Suggestions for further additions are always welcome of course. Please do so using the idea command on an appropriate room, NPC or object.

Pubquiz Machine
Nestled in a pub on Morpork Street is a pubquiz machine. If you have a question that you'd like to be considered for inclusion in the machine you can submit it here once you're signed in with your player account. You can also see what other questions there are already in the machine or have been submitted and are pending so that you don't double-up.
Architects
Architects are players who write descriptions for the generic areas in Ankh-Morpork.
For more information, check out our Architects Webpage.
Creating
Ankh-Morpork is always looking for competent creators. If you think this might just be the thing for you, have a chat with the Domain Leader or its Deputies or with any other AM creator.
