Tithan

A tribe of the Sialk Odhan on the continent of Seven Cities. Destroyed by the Malazans during the Chain of Dogs. 

Tithan: south of Sialk

DG, Glossary

"...southwestward, inland, into the Sialk Odhan. The nearest city in which they might find succour, Caron Tepasi, was sixty leagues distant, with the hostile clans of the Tithan occupying the steppes between."

DG, UK mmpb, p.268

Off to the southeast rose the weathered range of the Lador Hills. Westward stretched the Tithansi Steppes. Nothing in that direction until the Sekala River...If northwest, then the village of Manot, and beyond that, Caron Tepasi, on the coast of Karas Sea."

DG, UK mmpb, p.306

'...the harsh Tithan tongue spoken in low murmurs...'

DG, UK MMPB, p.494

'Six Tithansi warriors stood or sat within sight, all seemingly bundled in furs...The warriors were waiting, red-painted hands stretched out towards the flames...The man in the lead was built like a bear, the comparison strengthened by the fur of that animal riding his broad shoulders. A single-bladed throwing axe jutted from each hip. His leather shirt was unlaced from the breastbone up, revealing solid muscles and thick, matted hair. The crimson slashes of paint on his cheeks announced him as a warleader, each slash denoting a recent victory. The multitude of freshly painted bands made plain the Malazans' ill fortune at his hands.'

DG, UK MMPB, p.494-5

With the slaugter of the Tithansi archers in the basin added to the Weasal Clan's actions, an entire plains tribe had effectively seized to exist. The Wickans' retribution had been absolute.
