Talk:Reaper Man

Edits
I removed the bit saying it's set before Mort, because


 * It must happen after Moving Pictures, as Mustrum Ridcully is the Archchancellor.


 * Moving Pictures must be set after Guards! Guards! in which Ridcully is not the Archchancellor.


 * Guards! Guards! must be set after Mort, since Lady Sybil refers to the Duke and Duchess of Sto Helit: "a very nice young couple"; evidently Mort and Ysabell. So RM must be set after Mort.


 * Ysabell isn't in Reaper Man. It might be before he adopted her of course, but that would put it forty years before Mort


 * In Soul Music, Susan travels back to the time of Mort and it's stated the cornfields in Death's Domain haven't been created yet.


 * The Death of Rats isn't mentioned in Mort.


 * Terry Pratchett says so.

One more reason: Death says at one point that he has a daughter, but they aren't in touch.

Location?
Is it known for sure that this novel (at least Death's parts) takes place in Lancre? When asked about an apothecary, Miss Flitworth responds by saying that "There's a witch over Lancre way." This would seem to imply that they are not in Lancre, but in a neighboring country, unless the citizens also refer to the castle town as "Lancre," which I suppose is possible.

Translations
The article could use a bit of help with the translations of the foreign titles. Aastrup 21:05, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
