Malazan 2nd Army

At the start of GotM, this army is besieging Pale. Tattersail commands the mage cadre, Dujek Onearm is in overall command. Imperial High Mage Tayschrenn is attached to this army during the events of GotM, as are the Bridgeburners.

"The burgundy cloak with its silver emblem betokening her command of the 2nd Army’s wizard cadre..."

- description of Tattersail (GotM, UK Trade p.40, UK mmpb p.52)

"'Always an even trade, Sorceress.' The man snapped a second salute, this one sharper, and its way more personal. Years and years of this. Insisting I'm family to them, one of the 2nd Army - the oldest intact force, one of the Emperor's own. Always an even trade, Sorceress. Save our skins, we'll save yours. Family, after all. Why, the, do I always fel so estranged from them?"

- thoughts of Tattersail (GotM, UK Trade p.47, UK mmpb p.63)

"The 2nd and 6th Armies had formed ranks on the plain, weapons bared and awaiting the call to advance on the city when the time came. Seven thousand veterans and four thousand recruits."

- preparing to assault Pale (GotM, UK mmpb p.72)

"...her meagre cadre. At full strength, six mages should have been arrayed behind her, but there were only two."

- Tattersail complains about her cadre. Six must be the standard for a Malazan Mage Cadre. (GotM, UK mmpb p.72)
