The Battle of the Spire was the culminating battle in the Malazan Book of the Fallen. It took place just outside Kolanse City once Adjunct Tavore Paran and her allies arrived with the goal of freeing the heart of the Crippled God which was held within the Great Spire by the Forkrul Assail. Tavore's army was eventually relieved by the forces of her brother Ganoes Paran from the east. As Tavore was reunited with her brother, she blamed herself for the loss of Felisin, though she was still ignorant to the full extent of her role in the former's death.
