Unseen Academicals is the thirty-seventh Discworld novel, and the last to star the wizards of Unseen University. It introduces “foot-the-ball” to the Disc (though there are hints it already existed as a game, if not an organised competition), and several new supporting characters, though it is notable for being a wizards book in which neither Death nor Rincewind play a major role. It also introduces rival university Brazeneck College, to whom the former Dean of UU defects.
