Pale

A Genebackan city. At the start of GotM, it has been under a Malazan siege for three years. See Pale Enfilade.

To the south - the Tahlyn Mountains.

To the west - the Moranth Mountains.

"With the coming of the Moranth

the tide turned.

And like ships in a harbour

the Free Cities were swept under

Imperial seas.

The war entered its twelfth year,

the Year of the Shattered Moon

and its sudden spawn

of deathly rain and

black-winged promise.

Two cities remained to contest

the Malazan onslaught.

One stalwart, proud banners

beneath Dark’s powerful wing.

The other divided –

– without an army,

bereft of allies –

The strong city fell first.

Call to Shadow

Felisin (b.1146)"

- the two remaining cities are Pale and Darujhistan. Pale is the "strong," Darujhistan "the other divided."

(GotM, UK Trade p.39, UK mmpb p.51)

"Three years of enforced passivity in this siege..."

(GotM, UK Trade p.49, UK mmpb p.65)

"...outside Pale's walls..."

(GotM, UK mmpb p.72) 

"A rain of death descended into the city of Pale..."

- the Sorcery Enfilade begins (GotM, UK mmpb p.74)

Enormous cliffs, sheared from the Moon's face and raging with flame and trailing columns of black smoke, fell down into the city of Pale, transforming the city into its own cauldron of death and chaos."

- Tayschrenn's assault on the Moon devastates the city. (GotM, UK mmpb p.77)
