Countdown to the Glorious 25th, Day 4: Sergeant Dai Dickins, a great example of a Discworld character who’s clearly supposed to be fantasy-Welsh. It’s one of the particularly fun things about a world so built of parody and allegory as Discworld, picking out real world equivalents like that.It’s never mentioned in Night Watch whether he wears a muscle cuirass-style breastplate or not, but there is a line about “the proper sergeant’s shape” and other books mentioned those breastplates were traditional for Watch sergeants, so I thought it would be fun to include. (Also, his face is a bit of an Easter egg that should look a little familiar to anyone who’s watched Call the Midwife…) -- source link
