  "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.

Dead Letter Update, Part III - Mon Mar 27 12:02:23 2023

The vague address letters for delivery in Djelibeybi, Ephebe and Genua have been updated to work with the recent skill update. Enjoy! Fran.


Festive Frolicks are for life, not just for Hogswatch - Mon Dec 19 20:32:22 2022

Anticipating an influx of Holiday weddings the Guild of Fools and Joculators have revamped their Chapel of Fun. Brother Whopply has been subjected to all the puns from the talker during the last couple of months whilst being beaten with an assortment of bladders and has agreed to perform marriages if only he doesn't have to listen to any more puns. Furniture has been rearranged, ancient artifacts have been restored and they've even put fresh hay down on the floor. Head on over (with or without a potential spouse) to have a look and get into the Hogswatch spirit by Acting the Fool!


Passing By And Thought I'd Drop In - Fri Oct 21 13:49:43 2022

A new restaurant has opened on Fast Street. Its proprietor and her wife are keen to share the joys of chaat - a category of Bharatri snack food that combines crunch, tang, sweetness and saltiness - with the residents of Ankh-Morpork, so make sure to take your friends and a good appetite along with you!

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.
