While this seems to be a boring existence, Great A'Tuin would not agree to this, for of all the creatures in the universe, only A'Tuin actually knows where it is going.įeet of Clay, the 19th novel in Terry Pratchett's long running Discworld series, is actually nearly a straight mystery. This turtle flaps onwards through endless space, pretty much minding his own business (or hers, according to another school of thought) and utterly unconcerned by all the endless nonsense happening on its back.

The Disc is carried through space on the shoulders of four giant elephants who themselves perch upon the shell of the star turtle, Great A'Tuin. It offers sights far more impressive than found in universes built by Creators with less imagination and sense for humor. The Discworld is - as the name might have hinted already - a flat planet, like a geological pizza.
