Geocache Description:


The Wizards are major characters in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Their title is said to be derived from the archaic word "Wys-ars", meaning one who, at bottom, is very wise.

Wizards (at least the ones of the Unseen University) are described as belonging to one of the eight orders of wizardry, currently named:

The Ancient and Truly Original Brothers of the Silver Star
The Brotherhood of the Hoodwink (The Hoodwinkers)
The Order of Midnight
The Venerable Council of Seers
The Ancient and Truly Original Sages of the Unbroken Circle
The Sages of the Unknown Shadow
Mrs Widgery's Lodgers
The Last Order (The Other Order)
This short series takes you on a bimble along a narrow country lane. Although the lane is often only as wide as carriage, you may find the odd spot here or there to park a motorised vehicle. Our suggestion is that you go for a stroll and admire the countryside while you are at it.

#2 :  Rincewind

Rincewind has been an important character since the Discworld series started. He is a polite yet cowardly wizard with (almost) no magical ability and whose ambition in life is simply to continue having a life. He has been on many adventures, but almost entirely by accident. He is however gifted with languages, speaking several including Chimeran, Vanglemesht, Sumtri, Black Oroogu, High Borogravian and beTrobi.



The Mirror of Oversight was a magical mirror located at Unseen University. It was mentioned in The Light Fantastic as a scrying device used by several senior wizards to attempt to locate Rincewind. One wizard tried just the Mirror, and another (in an attempt to out-fail the others) tried this Mirror, the Runes of M'haw, and the entrails of a manicreach to find Rincewind. Both failed, and no other wizard who used different methods succeeded.

It would be wise to begin your search behind the mirror ...
