The Home realm of the Tiste Liosan

“Kurald Liosan was the first realm to seal the portal between it and Starvald Demelain, and the tale that follows recounts the slaughter committed by Osserick in cleansing his world of all the pretenders and rivals, the Soletaken and feral purebloods, even unto driving the very first D’ivers from his land. - (TtH UK mmpb - p.64)

Defence of Liosan

 Twilight : Bright, blinding sunlight, scorching fires in the sky – two, three, four – four suns!....

.....   Help me up.  Where's my brother?"

 "He rode out, Highness.  Some time ago.  Before the fourth sun rose – and now we're burning alive –"

 She took his proffered arm and pulled herself onto her feet.  "Not suns, Sergeant.  Attacks." (D0D)

... She straightened.  A fifth sun was flaring to life on the horizon.   

The interplay between Kurald Liosan and Kurald Thyrllan

She gestured at the seething realm behind her.  "This is the true border of Thyrllan.  It's that and nothing more.  The First Shore is the shore between Darkness and Light.  We thought we were born on this shore – right here – but that cannot be true!  This shore destroys – can you not feel it?  Where do you think all these bones come from?"

"This was a gift to no one,"  Yedan replied.  "Look into the water, sister.  Look deep into it."

But she would not.  She had already seen what he had seen.  "They cannot be drowning – no matter what it looks like –"

"You are wrong.  Tell me, why are there so few Liosan?  Why is the power that is Light so weak in all the other worlds?"

"If it wasn't we would all die – there'd be no life anywhere at all!"

 He shrugged.  "I cannot answer to that, sister.  But I think that Mother Dark and Father Light, in binding themselves to each other, in turn bound their fates.  And when she turned away, so did he.  He had no choice – they had become forces intertwined, perfect reflections.  Father Light abandoned his children and they became a people lost – and lost they remain."
