Meanas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meanas is a fictional realm in Steven Erikson's fantasy series Malazan Book of the Fallen.
Meanas is the Warren of Shadow and Illusion, the mortal form of the Elder Warren of Shadow, Kurald Emurlahn. The Realm of Shadow is a confusing place, ever shifting, and the paths within it are littered with various prisoners who beg for mercy from their eternal imprisonment. It is ruled by the Ascendant known as Ammanas Shadowthrone, and his companion Cotillion, the Patron of Assassins.
The Shadow Throne had been unoccupied for millennia after the shattering of Kurald Emurlahn, and the entire Warren is said to now be human-aspected due to the Throne being occupied by Ammanas, who was once the mortal man Kellanved, the Malazan Emperor.
Along with Shadowthrone and Cotillion, there were also seven Hounds of Shadow, though several have been slain since the beginning of this series.
