Morn (location)

Morn was a ruined, haunted place on the southwestern coast of Genabackis,Memories of Ice, Glossary, UK MMPB p.1183 north of Seguleh Island and 200 leagues south of Darujhistan.Memories of Ice, Chapter 1 It was the location of The Rent, a torn Warren. Nearby were K'Chain Che'Malle tombs and a ruined Jaghut tower. A central barrow buried under the T'ol Ara'd used to hold captive a living matron whose soul had been used to seal the torn Warren long before the time of the Imass.Memories of Ice, Prologue
The lands running southeast along the coast towards Ilem were known as the Cursed Lands. To the north was Root Forest.

In a flashback to the time of the Imass, Kilava Onass tried to save two fleeing Jaghut children from a hunting party led by Pran Chole by placing them in the Rent at Morn. After proudly telling Pran Chole of her deed, he pointed out that to be placed in the torn Warren meant unbearable agony and everlasting life as well as the release of the creature that had been placed in the wound long ago.Memories of Ice, Prologue
During the time of the Malazans, Toc the Younger reawakened here after being thrown out of the Warren of Chaos. Here, he found the T'lan Imass, Tool, and encountered Lady Envy. All three discovered the release of the K'Chain Che'Malle matron from her imprisonment within a nearby tomb, although they did not know her exact identity at the time.
After the Siege of Coral, Quick Ben, Ganoes Paran, the Jaghut who had been the Seer of the Pannion Domin, and Kilava Onass appeared by Warren at Morn. Quick Ben returned the power of the Matron contained within a Finnest to the tear and in return the Jaghut's long-lost sister was released to her brother.Memories of Ice, Chapter 25
==In Toll the Hounds==
After being shipwrecked off the coast of Genabackis, Traveller found himself at Morn. An earthquake had opened an inlet to the sea and destroyed a number of the tholos tombs, leaving the bones of K'Chain Che'Malle cluttering the water. The rent remained as a mottled scar in the air thar bled with pain. Nearby, he was met by Shadowthrone, Cotillion, and the Hounds of Shadow.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 6, US SFBC p.196-197
Gruntle travelled to another realm in his sleep where he rode the mind of a tiger stalking a jungle. He encountered a band of pitiable creatures who seemed to be something between apes and humans. They begged him to protect them from a leopard who hunted the same jungle, suggesting it challenged the tiger's claim on this territory. Gruntle eventually found the leopard, realising she was a dream-rider like himself. She claimed to be from a place known as New Morn, although her failure to recognise the god, Hood, left open the question whether she was from the distant past or the far future. After Gruntle requested she spare the jungle's human inhabitants, the two went their separate ways.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 13, US SFBC p.515-520
