Fanderay

Fanderay or Fander, also known as the Wolf-Goddess or She-Wolf of Winter,Gardens of the Moon, Chapter 7, UK MMPB p.229Gardens of the Moon, Glossary, UK MMPB p.706 was an ascended beast.Memories of Ice, Chapter 20, UK MMPB p.866 Her name in the Barghast tongue was Farand.Memories of Ice, Chapter 18, UK MMPB p.791 Her fur was silver and black.Reaper's Gale, Prologue, US HC p.27
Fanderay was the long lost mate of Togg and with him the joint holder of the Beast Throne. They were said to be more ancient than the Elder Gods, and considered Draconus, Krul, and the Sister of Cold Nights to be young entities by comparison.Memories of Ice, Prologue, US SFBC p.33 They had once run with the Imass back when the Imass were still mortal.Memories of Ice, Chapter 20, US SFBC p.726 At one time they had made their home on Jacuruku.Memories of Ice, Prologue, US SFBC p.29
The Warren of Chaos was said to have given fire to her spirit.
==History==
Fanderay and Togg were separated during the fall of the Crippled God which was caused by rebellious mages seeking to topple the tyrant King Kallor during the time of the First Empire. Their home had been destroyed and Fanderay severely wounded. Togg, himself now missing an eye, sought his mate in the Warren of Chaos hoping she had returned there. The general details of a horror from the sky causing their separation were known as children's bedtime stories on Genabackis.Memories of Ice, Chapter 20, US SFBC p.705/726
==Worship and Rituals==
The twin cults of Togg and Fanderay continued to persist, but their temples were few and their adherents dwindled. There had been a short lived popularity of the cults within the armies of the Malazan Empire early in Empress Laseen's reign, but they had soon withered.Memories of Ice, Chapter 24, Epigraph 
The Wolves were rarely worshipped in the middle or southern parts of Genabackis and received no representation within the Mask Council of Capustan. They were however worshiped in the north of the continent as war-aspected gods.Memories of Ice, Chapter 18, UK MMPB p.788 In Darujhistan, the death of the Wolf Goddess of Winter was marked each year a week before the Gedderone Fête. One custom, commented on by Murillio was the procession of a brilliantly painted carriage drawn by three white horses in black bridles symbolising the Goddess being carried out. The carriage was accompanied on either side by middle-aged women who balanced bronze cups on their shaved heads from which steams of scented smoke unfurled.Gardens of the Moon, Chapter 7, UK MMPB p.229/230
== In Memories of Ice==
K'rul found the terribly wounded Fanderay after the Crippled God's Fall and placed her spirit within the body of Baaljagg, the last surviving Ay, to safely heal.Memories of Ice, Chapter 22, US SFBC p.787
When K'rul made his move against the Crippled God's schemes during the Pannion War, he sent Baaljagg to join Lady Envy. They were soon joined by others including Toc the Younger whose body contained the spirit of Togg. 
Lady Envy and her entourage made war against the Pannion Seer and his empire, the Pannion Domin. During their efforts, Toc was captured and brought to Coral. Envy's party followed in pursuit, arriving at Coral amidst the Malazan siege of the city. While the others raced ahead to find the Seer, Envy and Baaljag sought Toc in the Old Palace.Memories of Ice, Chapter 25, US SFBC p.916-917 By the time they found Toc, he was already dead and Baaljagg lay beside the corpse whimpering.Memories of Ice, Chapter 25, US SFBC p.940 
Fanderay grieved for the loss of her mate, but Onos T'oolan informed her that Togg had slipped from Toc's body and was free within the Warren of Tellann. The Bonecaster, Kilava, reported that Toc's soul rode upon Togg's own and she opened a path into Tellann for Baaljagg to pursue them.Memories of Ice, Chapter 25, US SFBC p.940-941
Within the dreamworld of Tellann, Fanderay was separated from Baaljagg and finally reunited with Togg. The two gods reclaimed their thrones while acknowledging the Mhybe as the dream world's mistress.Memories of Ice, Chapter 25, US SFBC p.953/955-956
The destruction of the Grey Swords at the Siege of Capustan and the fall of Fener, their patron god, forced the mercenaries to seek out a new sponsor. With the help of the White Face Barghast elders they settled on Fanderay and Togg and proclaimed a new Reve, the Wolf's Reve.Memories of Ice, Chapter 18, US SFBC p.666-669 The new Grey Sword Shield Anvil, Norul, approached Silverfox requesting her to free the T'lan Ay, who the twin gods considered their children. The living Bonecaster initially refused despite Norul's warning that the gods would seek reparation.Memories of Ice, Chapter 20, US SFBC p.730-731 Later, Silverfox relented.Memories of Ice, Chapter 25, US SFBC p.958-959
==In House of Chains==
High Mage L'oric reported that Togg and Fanderay had taken control of the Beast Throne making them masters of the Soletaken and D'ivers. He smiled thinking of "all those poor fools who followed the Path of the Hand. The game was won far, far away—",House of Chains, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.306 suggesting that the Beast Throne had been the Path of Hands' ultimate goal. 
Newly installed on the throne, Togg and Fanderay urgently needed a champion. They chose a bull enkar'al whose spirit had been trapped in the body of a dead Thelomen Toblakai by the B'ridys demon. As a reward for its service, it was brought to join others of its kind in their realm.House of Chains, Chapter 9, US SFBC p.456-457
==In The Bonehunters==
Fiddler, Gesler, Stormy, and Balm looked through a Deck of Dragons while aboard the Silanda that had many cards they had never seen before. Among them was a new card labeled "The Lords of War" depicting two wolves, one male and one female, flanking an unoccupied bone throne. The card was the ranked card for the new House of War, which none of the men recognised.The Bonehunters, Chapter 18, US SFBC p.720/722
The Malaz 14th Army was joined by the Perish Grey Helms, a military religious order dedicated to Togg and Fanderay. They placed themselves under the command of Adjunct Tavore Paran for the war to come. Then they opened a gate through the harsh, fierce seas of the warren of Togg and Fanderay that allowed the Malazan fleet to travel to Malaz City over days rather than months.The Bonehunters, Chapter 21, US SFBC p.818-819
==In Reaper's Gale==
The Errant discovered Fener taking refuge in his abandoned temple in the Old Palace of Letheras. In return for allowing him to stay, Fener gifted him with the knowledge that it was possible for the Holds to awaken and regain power. After the boar god's fall, the Beast Hold had demanded an inheritor arise to take his place. Since Treach was too young and weak, Togg and Fanderay awoke to take the Throne.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 9, US HC p.227-230
The Grey Swords, led by Toc Anaster, followed a prophecy to Lether seeking the Battlefield of the Gods.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 6, US HC p.151 The Wolves had sent them murky visions in their dreams that some vast conflagration awaited them--a battle where they would be desperately needed.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 22, US HC p.701 But before reaching this battle, the mercenaries had been cut down by Letherii soldiers. Tool and Hetan had come upon the bodies shortly afterwards as plains wolves removed each of the soldiers' hearts. They thought it might be an act of honour.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 22, US HC p.704 When Toc fell at the Battle of Q'uson Tapi, Hood personally came to collect him saying his claim on Toc's soul took precedence over the Wolves'. Toc asked the god why he still only had one eye in death and Hood could only grumble, "Damned wolves."Reaper's Gale, Chapter 23, US HC p.711
==In Toll the Hounds==
While browsing through the wares of a store selling headstones and crypt facades in Darujhistan, Cutter came across an array of stylised deities, not yet temple-sanctioned, which would be used to beseech blessings upon the future dead. Among them was a depiction of Fanderay.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 11, US SFBC p.456
After their campfire was visited by De nek okral, an ancient beast god of war, Traveller told Karsa Orlong and Samar Dev the old gods of war were returning. Fener, Togg, Fanderay, and Treach; each in their time represented the supreme predator to their respective worshippers.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 18, US SFBC p.726-729
Picker's spirit was torn free from her body by a disastrous attempt to use the Deck of Dragons to contact Ganoes ParanToll the Hounds, Chapter 15, US SFBC p.626 and she found herself stalked by Togg and Fanderay on some distant frozen world. Picker concluded her association with Treach's torcs made her an enemy of the Wolves of Winter and she heard them howl in rage when she escaped their territory.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 19, US SFBC p.794-795
