== [[WMG]]s for the [[Discworld]]/ novel ''[[Discworld/The Last Hero|The Last Hero]]''. Warning: Potential unmarked spoilers. ==

== The unnamed Bard is Imp y Celyn. ==
He specializes in love songs and ballads, just like an early rocker, and at the end he is heavily implied to invent heavy metal. One of the two glass clocks resulted in him returning to Llamedos and being a bard, but Music With Rocks In already (sort of) existed (Vetinari mentions it in ''The Truth''). So he invents Heavy Metal instead.
* Except the Bard from ''[[Discworld/The Last Hero|The Last Hero]]'' is from Borogravia (he worships Nuggan, at least).
** There were Nugganites outside of Borogravia (I think). And Imp could have found religion instead of a life of [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]], mentions of drugs, and Music with Rocks In when he followed the other path.
** Except Nuggan himself claims the bard was ''raised'' in his faith, and Imp was brought up by druids.
* So how'd he llose the accent?
** Or the black curly hair, for that matter?
** Not to mention, he was last seen working in a chipper in Quirm. (See the end of ''[[Soul Music (novel)|Soul Music]]'' - it's strongly implied to be him, and also the payoff of a brilliant book-long [[Brick Joke]].)
 
== The Lady lost interest in using Rincewind as a playing piece after he volunteered under protest. ==
Line 24 ⟶ 26:
== The events of the story happened because Narrative Causality needed to reconcile two contradictory facts. ==
Basically, Twoflower is a Grand Vizier, and so bound by the narrative laws of Discworld to become an evil, betraying Grand Vizier that seeks to usurp his monarch. He is also a very nice person by nature, the sort that honestly would never think to actually do that. So, to reconcile that, narrative causality made things happen so that regardless of Twoflower being self-serving or nice, he would betray his monarch: namely, by telling the heads of state of Discworld that Cohen was on his way to do something that would destroy the world. Twoflower acts a bit like an Evil Vizier would, while at the same time still being, well, Twoflower.
