Bes Pelargic L-space Bubble
From Discworld MUD Wiki
The place for the billiards and demon dueling achievements!
Oh, and a Wizards' Guild guildhouse in Bes Pelargic.
You can enter it from the bookshop on Diamond Place. Aren't the alleys weird? Need a map?

Facilities
The entire area is inside a bubble of L-space. Presumable because of this, most rooms are high in thaum concentration.
The Grand High Exalted Master at the entrance grants commands.
Gym
Just north of the entrance there is a gym with the demon Ezhkrr in it.
George Boots-san
Downstairs from the gym and inside a crate covered and protected by moss (past a skill check we forget which skill but it doesn't take GP so you can just spam it) is George Boots-san, smaller than a boot, and his shop. He sells components peculiar to the spells in the L-Space fragment: sliver of octiron, sapient pearwood seed and shimmering glass nugget. It may however be easier to go to some other shop than entering the crate.
Courtyard
Marginally more recently a courtyard was added above the gym. The courtyard, along with the rooms it leads to, is a no-portal zone.
The exits (including the exit down to the gym) are skill checked, though much less frustratingly than George Boots' shop. It appears to use magic.methods.spiritual.divining, as you can tm that by leaving the alcoves or looking in different directions.
Failing the skill check will have you go, or attempt to go, in a direction other than the one you intended. Since the gym is one of the places you can end up, you can use this to get out if you're having trouble getting back out--just try leaving in a direction other than down until you get out.
Dueling arena
Southwest there's the demon dueling arena in which you use the magic skills to fight through a demon you summon. See also Elanor's dueling page.
Wizard billiard
North, northwest and northeast (and another between those) are four Wizards' Billiards tables.
The billiard table to the north of the courtyard is the easiest to enter, then the one further north, then the one northwest of the courtyard and finally the one to the northeast of the courtyard.
See also Elanor's billiards page.
Candy store and smithy
Southeast is a candy store (with a candy that gets rid of TPA) with attached smithy (with ash for Transcendent Pneumatic Alleviator!) to the south.
Legibles shop
To the east is a legibles shop that also sells regular firecrackers (No carrots. Pity.)
Custom clothing
West you can buy UU-style robes and sashes, and there's custom robes and hats, too.
Under the canopy
At the center, under the canopy of the majestic tree, rests a great horned owl. The space under the canopy has a normal background magic level. You can "wander canopy" to get here, and "wander courtyard" to get back out.
The tree can be climbed--however, falling from the higher levels can do a large amount of damage (apparently upwards of 4k from the third level).
The Library
Available from just east of the entrance, the library comprises 3 levels with warp gates that switches you to another level. It also has a number of gaps on the third level. It has been mapped, but due to the quantum effects of magic, any such map may suddenly stop being accurate.
