Kruppe and Silverfox are riding away from the camp towards the area where the Second Gathering of the T'lan Imass will take place and are being followed by the two nameless marines and the T'lan Ay. They stop on a low hill and the T'lan Imass rise from the dust in their tens of thousands. Kruppe feels something in the air he can only guess is despair. Frozen between life and death for so long, he thinks, the T'lan Imass retain nothing of their past lives but "memories of ice".

  • Kruppe and Silverfox are riding away from the camp towards the area where the Second Gathering of the T'lan Imass will take place and are being followed by the two nameless marines and the T'lan Ay. They stop on a low hill and the T'lan Imass rise from the dust in their tens of thousands. Kruppe feels something in the air he can only guess is despair. Frozen between life and death for so long, he thinks, the T'lan Imass retain nothing of their past lives but "memories of ice". Pran Chole comes forward, telling Silverfox he stood with K'rul during her birth. She asks if that makes him her father, and angrily accuses him of abandoning her. As Pran Chole lowers himself in guilt and despair, another Bonecaster of the Kron T'lan Imass comes forward, Okral Lom, who tells her that her rage is misplaced: if anyone could be considered her father, it would be Onos T'oolan whose isolation caused changes to his Tellann warren, which influenced her birth. Tool is slowly making his way to the gathering with a secret desire, but Okral Lom will not tell her what it is. Two more Bonecasters come forward, Ay Estos and Olar Ethil, who tell her that the bulk of the Logros T'lan Imass forces are hunting renegade T'lan Imass who have committed crimes. Logros himself himself commanded Olar Ethil to search for the four remaining nations of T'lan Imass: the Bentract, who are trapped on the continent of Jacuruku, the Ifayle, Orshayn, and Kerluhm, all of whom seem to be missing and likely no longer exist.Kellanved, upon claiming the First Throne, commanded Logros to find them. When Kellanved ascended, he didn't yield the First Throne, leaving the T'lan Imass directionless, distracted by the presence of Jaghut in the Jhag Odhan (hence their abandoning the Malazan Empire during Laseen's first crucial years). Silverfox asks Pran Chole if any Jaghut are left. Pran Chole says there is one at the center of the deeds of the Pannion Seer. Kruppe interrupts, telling Silverfox that what the T'lan Imass want is not an enemy to fight, but an end to their eternal limbo. In essence, they want to die. Silverfox is shocked by this, and tells the T'lan Imass that she belongs with them as their first mortal child. She doesn't want to be abandoned again. Pran Chole and the rest of the T'lan Imass all drop to their knees, pleading for release. Kruppe assures her that the Jaghut pose no threat, even if a Tyrant were to rise, and begs her to "redeem them" and give them peace. Silverfox says no, and the T'lan Ay all join in a sorrowful howl.
