Guilds of Ankh-Morpork - Guild of Plumbers and Dunnikin Divers

Guild of Plumbers and Dunnikin Divers

(mentioned in Pyramids, Men at Arms)

  • Motto: NON ANTE SEPTEM DIES PROXIMA, SQVIRI ("Not Before Next Week, Squire")
  • Created in the reign of Patrician Vetinari.
  • Main role is to dig new water wells and empty cesspits (Dunnykin divers, a lonely profession)
  • Headed by Sir Charles Lavatory, who invented the device which bears his name. It flushes waste away very well, but as Ankh-Morpork has no currently functional sewers, it doesn't actually go anywhere.

Famous quotes containing the word divers:

    “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.”
    —Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 24:6-7.
