Imperial Campaigns 1158–1194
". . . In the eighth year the Free Cities of
Genabackis established contracts with a number of mercenary armies to oppose the Imperium’s advance; prominent among these were the
Crimson Guard, under the command of Prince
K’azz D’Avore (see Volumes III & V); and the
Tiste Andii regiments of
Moon’s Spawn, under the command of
Caladan Brood and others.
The forces of the Malazan Empire, commanded by High Fist Dujek Onearm, consisted in that year of the 2nd, 5th and 6th Armies, as well as legions of Moranth. In retrospect two observations can be made. The first is that the Moranth alliance of 1156 marked a fundamental change in the science of warfare for the Malazan Imperium, which would prove efficacious in the short term. The second observation worth noting is that the involvement of the sorcerous Tiste Andii of Moon’s Spawn represented the beginning of the continent’s Sorcery Enfilade, with devastating consequences.
In the Year of Burn’s Sleep 1163, the Siege of Pale ended with a now legendary sorcerous conflagration . . ."

"Five mages, an Adjunct, countless Imperial Demons, and the debacle that was
Darujhistan, all served to publicly justify the outlawry proclaimed by the Empress on
Dujek Onearm and his battered legions. That this freed Onearm and his Host to launch a new campaign, this time as an independent military force, to fashion his own unholy alliances which were destined to result in a continuation of the dreadful Sorcery Enfilade on
Genabackis, is, one might argue, incidental. Granted, the countless victims of that devastating time might, should
Hood grant them the privilege, voice an entirely different opinion. Perhaps the most poetic detail of what would come to be called the Pannion Wars was in fact a precursor to the entire campaign: the casual, indifferent destruction of a lone, stone bridge, by the
Jaghut Tyrant on his ill-fated march to
Darujhistan . . ."

Denizens of Raraku
"
Bhok'arala seem to have originated in the wastes or
Raraku. Before long, these social creatures spread outward and were soon seen throughout
Seven Cities. As efficacious rat control in settlements, the
bhok'arala were not only tolerated, but often encouraged. It was not long before a lively trade in domesticated breeds became a major export...
The usage and demonic investment of this species among mages and alchemists is a matter for discussion within treatises more specific than this one. Baruk's Three Hundred and Twenty-first Treatise offers a succinct analysis for interested scholars..."

"Among the untried recruits of the Fourteenth Army, fully half originated from the continent of
Quon Tali, the very centre of the empire. Young
and idealistic, they stepped onto blood-soaked ground, in the wake of the sacrifices made by their fathers and mothers, their grandfathers and
grandmothers. It is the horror of war that, with each newly arrived generation, the nightmare is reprised by innocents."
