Tanno Spiritwalkers were the priests or elders of the people. They were distinguished by their bright orange robes. Karakarang was the Holy City of the Tanno cult. The cult claimed a direct descent from the cult of the Nameless Ones and the Spiritwalkers maintained that their power was based on the original patterns created by the ritual of the Nameless Ones. It was believed that those patterns criss-crossed the entire sub-continent of Seven Cities and remained to the present day.

abstract	Tanno Spiritwalkers were the priests or elders of the people. They were distinguished by their bright orange robes. Karakarang was the Holy City of the Tanno cult. The cult claimed a direct descent from the cult of the Nameless Ones and the Spiritwalkers maintained that their power was based on the original patterns created by the ritual of the Nameless Ones. It was believed that those patterns criss-crossed the entire sub-continent of Seven Cities and remained to the present day. They were mages of a form, but their sorcery was sung. Tanno sorcery was elliptical, so a Tanno song was like a serpent eating its own tail. Spiritwalkers were devoted to peace, but the power of their songs was said to be immense. The Spiritwalker Kimloc claimed the power to destroy Malazan armies and to potentially raise an individual to Ascendancy. A Spiritwalker only had to touch someone to know their story or history. They could also store some of their power in an inanimate object so that it could be retrieved later even by a non-initiate. They were also said to possess the power to "quest through a hidden world--not a true warren, but a realm where souls are freed of flesh and bone." A Tanno tutor who was a Spiritwalker, once told his pupil that the Spiritwalkers believed that wisdom was depthless and that staying ignorant kept people in the shallows. According to him, every Tanno one day took a final spiritwalk and cut the last tether, meaning the soul could not go back. When that happened, the other Tannos mourned, because they knew that the Spiritwalker had drowned.
