Malazan Empire

Page history last edited by Eloth 13 years, 2 months ago

The Malazan Empire (post 1154 BS)

 

An empire founded by Kellanved and Dancer on the Island of Malaz.  It  expanded to several other continents, where its thirst for new conquests is undiminished.

Laseen usurped command of the Empire and now rules with absolute authority.

 

Malazan Empire An empire originating on Malaz Island off the coast of the Quon Tali continent. The original founder was the Emperor Kellanved and his cohort Dancer, both of whom were assassinated by Laseen, the present Empress. The Empire spans Quon Tali, the subcontinent of Falar, Seven Cities, and the coasts of north Genabackis. Additional forays include the continents of Stratem and Korel. - GotM Glossary

"'If you please.'  the trader ventured, 'the exchange rate in Darujhistan is two and one-third jakatas to one council. Broker's fees comprise at least one jakata. Thus, strictly speaking, one and a third.'" - Munug - (MoI, UK mmpb, p.76)

 

 

Malazan Military: 

 

See Main Article: Malazan Military

 

The Malazan Imperial Military is responsible for defending the Empire's borders from invaders, governing its provincess and conquering new territories. 

 

The Imperial Military is divided into:

  • The Army, the Empire's offensive land forces
  • The Navy, the Empire's offensive and defensive naval forces
  • Garrisons, which govern the Empire's territories and maintain an Imperial presence

 

There are also a large number of minor organizations which remain seperate from the Imperial forces but remain under the command of the Empire. For example, cities such as Hissar have their own Guard forces. Additionally, there are many factions or specialized units within the larger military organizations which specialize in a particular role or have a notable history.

 

With the expansion of the Malazan Empire, the Imperial Military organizations have become diverse, with recruits accepted into the ranks from across Quon Tali, Seven Cities, northern Genebackis and more.
