The Malazan Fallen discussion

Please mark any other spoilers using the spoiler tags. (when in doubt, use them).

So Sheccanto, (one of) the oldest among the Tiste is 2000 years old.

Endest Silann makes his first appearance. Note their talk about Mother Dark offering/giving the power/gift of Darkness to everyone or something along the lines. (view spoiler)[It is said in Toll the Hounds that Endest used to be a very powerful mage before burning out (sacrificed his power in order to hide Moon's Spawn) and he's the second oldest Andii at the time of TTH. (hide spoiler)]

She met his eyes and this time held them. 'Now you must contend with what you purport to worship, and give answer to the many things you have done in its name. Is it any wonder your friend quails?'

Another jab, this time at hypocrisy in organized religion.

Dumb questions:
Do we know Sukul Ankhadu from MBOTF?
Yan and Yudan are Shake? Who are the "shake" Anomander mentions?
Deniers are Edur?

We do, she's a minor character (albeit a ~powerful one) in MT and RG.

Not sure about the Deniers. Maybe some of them. At this point anyone not worshipping Mother Dark is called a Denier (e.g. the castellan who's a follower of Burn). And I don't see a connection to Scara Bandaris.

I remember Trull Sengar (Edur) being called Denier by the demon he saved (see MT) but might as well be unrelated.

Azathanai T'riss ressurected river god of Shake and came to talk with Mother Dark, after that she disappears. In result one of high priestess of Mother Dark is turned to Liosan(=white skin and so on) and Anomander and second high priestess are turned to Andii. With black skin and silver hair of course. And this is the true beggining of this "diaspore".
