tilver

Tilver is a fictional place within the universe of the Discworld, a satirical fantasy series created by author Terry Pratchett. It is located on the continent of Klatch, a hot and arid region known for its desert landscapes and distinct culture. Tilver is a city-state, often depicted as a bustling hub of trade and intrigue. Its architecture is typically described as ornate and influenced by Arabian Nights-style aesthetics, with minarets, courtyards, and vibrant bazaars.

The city's culture is characterized by its rich traditions, often involving elaborate ceremonies and a strong sense of hospitality, though this can sometimes be accompanied by a certain ruthlessness. Tilver is known for its skilled artisans, particularly in metalwork and textiles, and its markets are filled with exotic goods. It is also a place where magic, though different in its practice from that found in Ankh-Morpork, is a recognized force. The city has featured in several Discworld novels, often serving as a backdrop for adventures involving characters like Rincewind the wizard and the witches of Lancre. Its name itself evokes a sense of the exotic and the slightly dangerous.
