Lancre (pronounced Lank-rer) is a country 500 miles Hubwards of Ankh-Morpork, located on the same Unnamed Continent. It is made up of many tiny countries in the Ramtop Mountains.
Headless horsemen and walking trees are part of the landscape, as are witches. Lancre is famous for witches, especially since the publication of The Joye of Snackes (an erotic cookbook) by "A Lancre Witch". Lancre is also the gateway into the "parasite universe" of the elves.
