About this deal

And it seems that shiver through Kurald Galain has the power to wake Itkovian for a brief moment as well. See, Cotillion is definitely the clearer of the two here, when he says: “Perhaps the most telling truth of old friendships is in how their dynamics never change.” He’s quite certain that he and Traveller are still friends. Salind says the Redeemer is troubled by something from the south that “had the flavor of Kurald Galain.” Around her are pilgrims worried about their safety now that they’ve been abandoned by the Benighted (Seerdomin). She muses on faith and the faithful and wonders “where the Redeemer’s reward?” The pilgrims ask if the Redeemer is yet another indifferent god and wonder who will stop/punish Gradithan (the one who preys on them). Salind recalls her own troubled past as a First born of the Tenescowri. They decide to go confront Seerdomin, though she thinks it a bad choice. Kanz's mother, a woman whose life was 'touched' by Hood (in his mortal form) as he walked the streets of Darujhistan (Mentioned only) [6]

I love this welcome from the Kindaru to Traveller—it sort of reminds me of that Christmas greeting card that aims to include all religions and all blessings upon the person receiving it. Just so much overkill, but very charming for all that. PDF / EPUB File Name: Toll_the_Hounds__Book_Eight_of_The_Malazan_-_Steven_Erikson.pdf, Toll_the_Hounds__Book_Eight_of_The_Malazan_-_Steven_Erikson.epubI cannot give answer this time” Why? Is it because of what it is? Or does Rake have other things going on? Tragic Mistake: It's heavily implied that Rake's decision to turn on Mother Dark was a mistake. Here, he sets out to correct things. Inside the city itself eternal Night now reigns and the Tiste Andii keep to themselves and still mourn the loss of their home. They seem oblivious to the threat on their doorstep and even the Son of Darkness has seemingly other things on his mind. Note she feels the need to speak with Gothos. As Kallor says, why? How does she have something to say to him? “Uncanny,” yes. I Let You Win: Anomander Rake lets Traveller win their duel because the convergence requires it, although he puts up a good fight beforehand.

Tulas Shorn stealing the horses of Traveller, Karsa and Samar Dev to delay their approach to Darujhistan, to buy time for Anomander Rake's and Hood's plans to get going. The epigraph is from the old Emperor. He does seem to have quite a few profound quotes attributed to him. There has to be some reason for bringing up Kellanved and Crust, right? There's No Place Like Home: Cutter's reason for returning to Darujhistan from continents away. Tragically deconstructed, though, Cutter has to learn that he was mostly blinded by nostalgia and that he himself has changed so much he can hardly call Darujhistan home anymore. The first is in a "necropolis of sorts", where two people, who are revealed to be dead, witness a meeting between Hood, Edgewalker, Shadowthrone and Anomander Rake, though they are not privy to what is discussed.Ah well, maybe this lovely married couple will relieve us of this burdensome… hmmmm, apparently not: rage, violence, more regret, thoughts of murder, actual murder. Oh well. Sigh.

His belief he had “no choice” but to then pen the poor things up in a some isolated tower (more isolation). Ah Kallor, such a compassionate soul: “Too bad he’d had to kill every child he begat. No doubt that left most of his wives and lovers somewhat disaffected.” Ya think? The retired Bridgeburners are enjoying their retirement when Assassins from the Assassins' Guild suddenly come after them, though the assassins soon discover that the Bridgeburners aren't easy marks. The third scene plays out in a village, where two girls notice the departure of a dog, and decide to follow.

Implausible Fencing Powers: Justified, as the two duellants are among the best swordfighters the world has ever seen and Ascendants. Blue Moranth, ocean-going clan of the Moranth - functioned as their Navy/Merchant Marines branch (Mentioned only) [13] As he leaves, he recalls an old prayer about Darkness receiving every breath unto death. But not for the Andii since Darkness is closed to them. He feels alone and wonders if the High Priestesses cry out in ecstasy or desperation, or if there was even a difference between the two.

Aranatha, who flinches at shadows… hides her other self behind a wall no power can surmount. Hides it, until it’s needed. Yes, he could feel her now, an emanation of will. It’s sort of odd to remember that these three were once Kellanved, Dancer and Dassem Ultor, and are now Shadowthrone, Cotillion and Traveller. Friends, perhaps? The way that Shadowthrone talks to Traveller indicates the ease of friendship or at least of equals, with his “you damned oaf” and “you stubborn, obstinate, belligerent fool.” Hmm, is that affection or just exasperation? Redeemer. I do not seek your blessing. Redemption will never be mine, nor should it, not by your touch, nor that of anyone else. Redeemer, I bring no gift to set upon your barrow. I bring to you naught but myself. Worshippers and pilgrims will hear nothing of your loneliness. They armour you against all that is human, for that is how they make you into a god. But you were once a mortal soul. And so I come, my only gift my company. It is paltry, I know, but it is all I have and all I would offer. And there’s an ominous and dark close to this section—these Andii “awakened” again, against all their hopes. Kadaspala is out to take revenge on Anomander Rake for the death of his sister. It clearly hasn't done any good for Kadaspala's sanity, never mind that Anomander Rake had nothing to do with Enesdia's death.

Itkovian's sacrifice (in Memories of Ice) gave birth to a new cult (the cult of the Redeemer), propelling him to godhood. But another god is out there to bend and corrupt the cult. And only a former Seerdomin appears to stand in that god's path. We end the chapter with another run down- Thordy is setting flatstones in her garden in a particular pattern. Spite is still lounging in the ship, she has noticed the proximity of her kin. And little Harllo will soon be lost to darkness. Precious Thimble, a retired Mott Irregular and newfound shareholder in the Trygalle Trade Guild [2] Is Iskaral Pust really what he claims to be, if even other members of Shadow have no idea who he is, where he’s come from and what he’s capable of? He really does swing between lovable buffoon and distinctly creepy, doesn’t he?
