A small town in [[Überwald]] which has a proud tradition of training Überwaldean [[Fools' Guild|clowns]] and sending out its people into the world as ambassadors for the renowned Überwaldean sense of humour. It is also a place famed in history for its tradition of [[sloshi]], the Clowns' martial art, no doubt to be used only in self defence, or whenever anyone makes a statement like "Hang on, Überwaldeans ''don't have'' a sense of humaaaaargh!"

If the "twin town" concept existed on the Disc, Müning in Überwald would inevitably be twinned with [[La Sorbumme]] in [[Quirm]].
