Rool

The Kingdom of Rool was a region on the western coast of the Island of Fist, south of the Sea of Fist. The Trembling Range ran along its northern border. It was the most powerful state on Fist and a rival to Korelri.Stonewielder, Chapter 3, US HC p.131
Rool was a former monarchy occupied for several decades by the renegade Malazan 6th Army, which chose to cut ties with the Malazan Empire after successfully conquering Rool in the Korelri Campaign. The families of the aging Malazan veterans formed a new pampered class of nobility who still spoke Quon Talian.Stonewielder, Chapter 3, UK TPB p.133Stonewielder, Chapter 8, US HC p.404 Although they had an army numbering more than seventy thousand strong, they never cultivated an organised cavalry force. Few of the army's officers came from the local population.Stonewielder, Chapter 6, US HC p.297/311Stonewielder, Chapter 3, UK TPB p.133
