Just Wars

The Just Wars was the name given to an ancient series of armed conflicts between the Forkrul Assail and the Tiste Liosan. The wars were characterised by both the Forkrul Assail and the Tiste Liosan being absolutely certain that the 'God of Justice' (known as Rynthan to the Assail and as Serkanos to the Liosan) was on their side. In reality, neither side could understand the language of the god, so neither understood or correctly followed its beliefs. Without followers, the god had no power.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 13, UK BCA edition p.394Reaper's Gale, Glossary
==In Reaper's Gale==
During the Bonehunters invasion of the Letherii Empire, Faradan Sort led a platoon to a small island amidst a swamp near the coast. Beak identified the rubble they found there as the remnants of a Jaghut building and the swamp itself as all that remained of an Omtose Phellack ritual. He warned Captain Sort that the platoon should not remain there long as the ground contained the broken bodies and vengeful ghosts of Forkrul Assail and Tiste Liosan from a skirmish in the Just Wars. The last remaining combatant had been a Forkrul Assail, who believed the outcome proved her cause was correct. Then she died of her wounds. Beak warned that if the Malazans stayed, the ghosts would eat into their brains and make the soldiers kill each other.
