Nom Purge

Nom Purge was located on the west coast of the continent of Quon Tali. To the northeast and northwest it was bordered by the Forest Fenn with a gap between leading to the Great Fenn Range beyond it. The Horn Ocean was to the west, Por Seti to the east, and the Dal Hon Plains to the south. It was a land of rolling grassed hills.Forge of the High Mage, Chapter 1, UK HC p.13

In the very early days of the formation of the Malazan Empire, it was stated that Nom Purge and the twin cities of Quon and Tali had long been traditional enemies and had engaged in "interminable war" with each other. The main reason for this ongoing feud between the neighbouring powers was Nom Purge's ancient claim that the "rich northern province" of Quon Tali actually belonged to Nom Purge.Kellanved's Reach, Chapter 1, US TPB p.6/9
Historically, Nom Purge had been ruled by kings or queens. During this particular period, it was ruled by the Queen of Nom Purge. The Queen's seat was presumably located in the coastal city of Purage.Kellanved's Reach, Chapter 1, US TPB p.11 This queen reigned with the aid of a Council of Nobles.Kellanved's Reach, Chapter 12, US TPB p.184
==In Forge of the High Mage==
Nom Purge was one of the last areas of Quon Tali to fall under Malazan rule, with Kellanved's roving Imperial Seat settling there for an unheralded two weeks. While the final pacification efforts were taking place, the Emperor made plans to conquer Falar, bringing troops from the failed expedition to Korel to Nom Purge to make the journey north over the Great Fenn Range. A gathering of the Old Guard at Nom Purge was demanded by Choss to agree to the effort.Forge of the High Mage, Chapter 1, UK HC p.6-8
