Who is edgewalker malazan

What is your decision? I will take what I can get. Ampelas, Kalse and Eloth. Their crime was… ambition. It is a common enough crime. He walked closer to the imprisoned beasts. Only a few years away. And it will, I suspect, draw into its fray virtually every ascendant from all the realms. I need to know, should you be freed, upon which side shall you fight.

Were I to bargain from your position, I would be foolish to hope for loyalty, for trust. JavaScript is disabled. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. Quick Malazan question - who the hell is Edgewalker? Thread starter Axiomatic Start date Feb 14, Validated User. Be free with spoilers, I've already finished the series once although admittedly that means I'm still clueless about a lot of things and it'll probably take several rereadings before I grok the damn thing.

But yeah, Edgewalker seems to just randomly get inserted into stories he's also featured in Night of Knives and I cannot for the life of me figure out why or how he's significant. Shimauma Awaits the Ponylarity Validated User. Axiomatic said:. The wiki is mostly useless, except to remind me that Erikson comes up with names like Ursto Hoobutt. Whiskeyjack New member Banned.

He warned Temper against the wiles of the Jaghut , and his warnings proved true, since all of this had been a ploy by the Jaghut to remove him from her way. He was on hand to see Kellanved enter Shadow and start familiarising himself with the realm.

He refused to take orders from him, saying that he was a Slave to the House. On Kellanved's assertions that he was in control, he recalled so many others who had done the same, reflecting that no one ever learned. Edgewalker appeared before the Crimson Guardsman , Shimmer , as she lay dying on the field of battle.

He complained that the Battle of the Plains was "spilling over into Shadow and that I cannot allow. I want all of you gone. A Chaos Whorl drained Ixpcotlet , a great lake of Shadow whose shores were home to a settlement of Azalan demons.

Least Branch and his fellow fishermen were forced to place their gigantic boats onto wheeled carts and search for another body of water. They also hoped to find Edgewalker, Guardian of Shadow, and ask him why he allowed their lake to be destroyed. In the very early days of the formation of the Malazan Empire , Koro , a winged inhabitant of Shadow, [29] became greatly upset because two repeat trespassers - Kellanved and Dancer - from outside the realm had escaped a Shadow Hound that had been hunting them.

Koro went in search of Edgewalker - the guardian of Shadow - to inform him of this. Koro felt that Edgewalker especially needed to know about this because the pair had escaped by going through a sealed gate into the Scarred Lands which the Dal Hon mage had managed to open himself. Edgewalker was indifferent to this news and tried to make it clear that the Scarred Lands were not something for which he was responsible.

Furious, Koro told Edgewalker that this was exactly the sort of thing that Edgewalker was supposed to be doing something about. Edgewalker responded by telling Koro that the flying creature had "no idea" what it was that the guardian 'did'.

Because Edgewalker was not going to act, Koro told him that he should "at least set Telorast and Curdle upon them" - which the guardian refused to consider. Edgewalker then dismissed Koro's concerns and ordered him not to interfere - except at the guardian's direct command. In the midst of a Shadow Moon -like Convergence - whose focal point was evidently the Azath House of Malaz City , the Deadhouse - the Sister of Cold Nights spotted Edgewalker watching intently from Shadow itself - unseen by all the others present.

At first, Edgewalker's attention was upon four Hounds of Shadow who were stalking the just-arrived Kellanved and Dancer - who were seemingly at the center of the Convergence. Edgewalker's apparent concern about the Hounds' threat to Kellanved and Dancer surprised the sorceress as the guardian had never been known to interfere in this way in the past.

The Sister of Cold Nights remembered that some believed that Edgewalker was the "creator of Shadow itself". Then, the sorceress recalled a story that she had heard from a fellow Azathanai long ago: that Edgewalker had become tired of his role as the guardian of Shadow and had been "searching for a worthy inheritor all this time".

The sorceress wondered if the Dal Hon mage could possibly be someone that Edgewalker was actually considering as a replacement. Kellanved, with some difficulty, was able not only to deal with the Hounds, but was also able to enter the Deadhouse with Dancer. The Sister of Cold Nights then noticed that Edgewalker had departed - having presumably come to some unknown conclusion.
