Opal was the pseudonym of a young woman living in Malaz City in the early period of the formation of the Malazan Empire.Deadhouse Landing, Epilogue, US TPB p.379
==In Deadhouse Landing==
Opal was recruited as a secret agent by the renegade Napan, Surly. Surly had seen Opal in action and had decided that she was "no fool" and had the requisite skills. Opal's first assignment was to deliver a message from Surly to another agent in Dariyal, the capital of the Napan Isles. Surly gave Opal a token — incidentally shaped like a "three-toed bird's claw" — to include with any message that Opal might send back to Surly in Malaz in order to "prove authenticity".Deadhouse Landing, Epilogue, US TPB p.378-380
