 Hear ye Hear Ye! Citizens of Discworld
**sigh**... yes yes including you on the counterweight continent and rimworld seafarers.
I bring to you curious tidings and signs because the Great A'Tuin just keeps moving no matter what so here goes:

These are the signs if that Troll prophecy had been a little bit more detailed:

1. One possessed Wizard named Rincewind falling of the edge of the world and then...poof, not falling.
2. A Politely determined tourist name Twoflower who sees the world as only a delightful counterweight citizen sees it and has this innocent confidence one can't quite understand.
3. The Luggage. that's it...the luggage
4. Cohen, The Greatest Hero the disc has ever seen .... ahem and he's wearing diamond dentures
5. A non-sacrificed virgin, Miss Bethan, turned...what sidekick and potential bride
6. Cameo by DEATH, War, Pestilence, Famine and a card game that baffles even these elemental beings
7. That somewhat efficiently bloodthirsty, Marie Kondo-Styled organizer and supreme dullard Wizard at Unseen University
8. A big red star that keeps getting bigger and humans do we humans do - panic.

Oh and lest we forget the matter of the Octavo and that rogue spell number 8 sitting pretty in Rincewind's mind.

I can't stress this enough - rollercoaster of epic proportions.
