Assail
Assail is held to be the most dangerous continent of the Malazan world, a land of dread names and wrecked ships that even the conquering Malazan Empire refuses to enter.
Assail is a continent of the Malazan world, lying between Genabackis and the continent of Lether, mentioned from Memories of Ice, onward. It carries the darkest reputation of any land. Sailors' charts mark the Wreckers' Coast along its shores, and its interior names run to the Plain of Ghosts, the Sea of Hate, and the Dread Sea. The Malazan Empire, which has carried its wars to most parts of the world, knows of Assail and deliberately makes no incursion there, judging the danger too extreme; mercenary companies and some T'lan Imass are rumored to have engagements on its soil. Its southernmost region is called Bael, and traders who work the safer fringes speak of the Bael lands rather than of Assail itself.
