Councillor D'Arle was the principal opposition to Orr's proposal to declare neutrality in the Malazan Empire's conflict with the Free Cities of Genabackis.Gardens of the Moon, Chapter 13, US HC p.305
At Lady Simtal's Gedderone Fête, Turban Orr named Estraysian his second during Orr's duel with Rallick Nom. The appointment was meant to distress Estraysian's political allies. In the moments before the duel Estraysian publically announced his contempt for Orr and informed Rallick that House D'Arle would seek no vengeance if he was the victor.Gardens of the Moon, Chapter 21, US HC p.430/434

D'Arle was accompanied by newly returned Councilman Coll to represent Darujhistan in the negotiations with the merged forces of Caladan Brood and Onearm's Host. They successfully concluded an arrangement to supply the combined armies as they marched against the Pannion Domin through the use of the Trygalle Trade Guild.Memories of Ice, Chapter 5 
==In Toll the Hounds==
Unhappy in her marriage with Gorlas Vidikas, Challice ruminated on her now widowed father. She knew he would counsel patience, but she considered how such advice had let him spend a lifetime with a woman he never liked. Now he was grey-haired with a fresh stoop to his shoulders, and he slept ten bells every night.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.252
Estraysian was one of a dozen councillors outside the main chamber of the Noble Council who witnessed Hanut Orr accuse Coll of bribery over matters related to the Malazan Embassy. After Coll sent the young man and his allies (Shardan Lim and Gorlas Vidikas) away with talk of an official censure, Estraysian directed Coll into a private alcove for further discussion. Over wine, Coll admitted the official explanations were flimsy, but the young men were not privy to the true explanations discussed behind committee doors. Estraysian noted the ambitious trio had been assigned to nearly every meaningless committee they could think of, but it was not keeping them busy enough to stay out of the way.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.671-673
