Eric: Difference between revisions

 

This was the last Discworld novel to feature Rincewind (a character whom Terry Pratchett somewhat dislikes, though the fans like him) until the retrospective ''[[Discworld/Interesting Times|Interesting Times]]''. It is also the last to feature the early conception of Unseen University, with the staff changing with each book thanks to the wizards' practice of [[Klingon Promotion]].

* [[Batman Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Vassenego's plan against Astfgl.}}

* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: Eric's wishes are (1) to rule all the kingdoms of the world, (2) to meet the most beautiful woman ever, and (3) to live forever. He and Rincewind first visit the Tezumen Empire {{spoiler|who try to sacrifice him out of revenge for their absolutely abysmal living conditions}}, then meet Helen of Tsort {{spoiler|about 20 years past her prime}}, and finally get to live forever {{spoiler|starting from the Creation of the Discworld, meaning it will be quite a few millenia before any people show up}}.
