====Small Gods====
*Sub-Series: Stand Alone/Ancient Peoples
*Focus of Satire: Religion and philosophy

A standalone book, or a follow up to '''Pyramids.''' The Omnian Empire (which is sort of like the Spanish Inquisition if it was run by [[Paranoia|Friend Computer]]) holds that the worship of the Great God Om comes above all. The novice Brutha finds a turtle dropped by an eagle only to be shocked when it talks and claims to BE the Great God Om (holy "horns" included). Om has lost his tremendous godly power because the people's faith in Him has been gradually replaced by fear of the church and its punishments for nonbelief, and Brutha is pretty much his last, faithful worshipper.

This book is infamous for fucking up the timeline: in ''Pyramids,'' which features cameos by and has references to several mortal characters in other Discworld books , Omnia is as described in this book: a theocratic empire hell-bent on converting or killing all on Klatch. However, in all subsequent books Brutha is referred to as the Great Prophet and more than a century has passed since the events of ''Small Gods.'' The inconsistency maybe might be could be addressed by ''Thief of Time.''
