Lightings

The Lightings, or Lightings District,The Bonehunters, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.923 was a wealthy estate district in Malaz City located at the foot of the cliff which formed the northern border of the city. It lay below Mock's Hold.Night of Knives, Chapter 1, UK HC p.30-31 Three gates led from the Lightings District into the Old Upper Estates to the south.The Bonehunters, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.915
The district had once been the home to the Mock family estate.The Bonehunters, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.917 Most of the manor homes in the district now stood vacant behind tall ivy-choked iron fences since their owners had relocated to the Imperial court at Unta. Now the homes served only as provincial retreats. Along one cobbled boulevard stood a plinth bearing the marble statue of a Nacht.Night of Knives, Chapter 2, US TPB p.50
==In The Bonehunters==
Adjunct Tavore Paran, T'amber, and Kalam Mekhar fled their ill-fated meeting with Empress Laseen at Mock's Hold and attempted to return to the 14th Army's fleet in the harbour. An attack by a Hand of Claw at the base of Rampart Way convinced Kalam to take a less direct route. He guided the trio into the Lightings where he knew of a secret tunnel into the Old Upper Estates. Kalam was not surprised to discover that the wealthy district did not suffer from the same angry mobs rampaging through the rest of the city.The Bonehunters, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.914-917
Kalam brought them to an abandoned estate that was the location of the Well of Plenty—a natural cistern into which Kellanved and Dancer had once tunneled to rob Mock of his treasure hoard and finance their early ventures in piracy. The group was followed by two Hands of the Claw, including Sturtho and a Claw Lieutenant. Kalam ambushed and killed them all at the bottom of the well.The Bonehunters, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.917-920
==In Night of Knives==
Oleg Vikat met Tayschrenn in the E'Karial family's abandoned Lightings estate to warn him about Kellanved and Dancer's plans on the night of the Shadow Moon.Night of Knives, Chapter 2, US TPB p.53-54
