The First People of the Malazan world, giants standing taller than the Tarthenal and Thelomen Toblakai who descend from them.

The Thel Akai are the First People of the Malazan world, named in Return of the Crimson Guard, the second of Ian C. Esslemont's Novels of the Malazan Empire. The name carries the sense of The People. They are giants, standing taller than the Tarthenal and Thelomen Toblakai who descend from them, and when they die they turn to earth and soil, returning to the Earth they call mother.
