The Color of Magic is about the encounter of the magical minus gifted wizard Rincewind with Two Blum , the first tourists of the Discworld. The patrician orders Rincewind to serve the stranger from the counterbalance continent as a guide and translator. Reluctantly, but encouraged by the prospect of a princely fee, he accepts the assignment. Not surprisingly, after Zwelum, who is a risk analyst for an insurance company, familiarized Ankh-Morpork with the innovative idea of the fire insurance policy, the city burned down completely.
This begins the common, dangerous journey through the rural regions of the Discworld. You get into countless dicey situations, but the new kind of tourist perspective that Zwelum displays turns everything into a kind of picturesque experience. After Hrun have committed, the barbarians as a bodyguard, they get to multiple stops, including at the dangerous dragon riders of Wyrmbergs , according to Krull . The book ends with Twoflower being catapulted over the edge of the Discworld aboard the so-called Mighty Traveler and Rincewind finally falling over the edge.
