Among the Malkieri, there is a saying that history becomes memory and then becomes legend. It is a comforting lie. In most
cases, history is simply forgotten. Like the moon reflecting in drops of water, people and events sparkle for a moment, and
vanish beyond all recovery.
In the few years since the fall of the Seven Towers in 955 NE, much has already been forgotten. Many Malkieri have turned
from the old ways, forgetting their mothers and fathers, pretending to be Shienaran or Arafellin or Kandori. Men have unbound
their hadori; women no longer paint the ki'sain on their brows.
Although it may be painful to remember a land that may be lost forever, memory has become our duty, a duty that I take
up in the pages of this history.

Malkier
|
|
Malkier was once one of the Borderlands, buffering Shienar and Arafel from the Great Blight, but fell to the Shadow in 955
NE, betrayed by Cowin Gemallan. (Gemallan was subsequently captured by Jain Farstrider.) It was one of the first nations formed
after the War of the Hundred Years, to provide stability and security along the Blight.
In the few years since the fall of the Seven Towers in 955 NE, much has already been forgotten. Many Malkieri have turned
from the old ways, forgetting their mothers and fathers, pretending to be Shienaran, Arafellin, Kandori or Saldean. Men have
unbound their hadori; women no longer paint the ki'sain on their brows.
