Location from Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson
Theocratic empire that devoured southern Genabackis through religious fervor and cannibalistic armies — ruled by a Seer whose madness was rooted in a Jaghut child's ancient grief.
The Pannion Domin spread across southern Genabackis like a disease. The Seer — revealed too late as a vessel for a Jaghut child's grief, twisted by a fragment of the Crippled God's power — built a theocracy sustained by famine and fanaticism. The Tenescowri, his peasant army, were kept deliberately starving so they would eat the dead after every battle. The Urdomen and Seerdomin were his elite, competent soldiers serving a cause they knew was monstrous. The Domin's expansion threatened to consume the entire continent before an alliance of former enemies — Malazan, Tiste Andii, Barghast, and the warlord Caladan Brood — converged on Coral to end it. The Seer's destruction revealed the tragedy beneath the horror: a child who had suffered something unforgivable and turned that suffering into a weapon that consumed nations.
Conquered territory marked by burned villages, stripped forests, and roads lined with the remains of those who resisted. The Tenescowri — starving peasant soldiers — roam the countryside in vast columns, eating the dead and the living alike. Temples to the Pannion faith stand in every town, their altars stained dark.
