The Unseen University

Like all really old universities, it is hard to tell where the University begins and the city ends, and in any case the size of UU an only be determined by reference to the kind of physics that you have to be a drunken physicist to understand...

The Unseen University is basically the center of magic in Ankh Morpork and probably the whole Disc. We are well known for our expertise in many areas of magic both old and new. The staff at UU are very understanding to the student wishes and avoid any contact with the students. The university is huge. It takes up a lot of the city but stretches, through the library, into any thinkable dimension or place. the library has every book that has every been written or will ever be written. The Librarian used to be a wizard but a magical accident turned him into an ape. It is advisable for visiters to the university to know not to call the librarian a monkey unless you you want a huge ape intent on killing flying across the room towards you. Within the UU the only way a wizard can climb the ladder of power is if his superior dies. This causes most wizards to be very cautious or dead or simply a wisp of smoke coming from their boots. UU has recently allowed new technology to be introduced in the form of HEX. Hex is a state of the art thinking machine look after by the forward looking Ponder Stibbons. The main structure of wizards are a curious bunch. Click here to be introduced to the main characters
