After Gianna escaped from the Cult of Mael in Cabil, she made her way to Jook. There she was taken on as a veteran hand by Captain Jensk to help his ancient, dilapidated merchant coaster, the Irene, in the crossing to Belade.Forge of the High Mage, Chapter 20, UK HC p.305
Malazan Emperor Kellanved devised an attack on the Falari Isles using a fleet of freebooters to spread out and terrorise the local settlements, and the pirate captain, Tereth quickly seized Curaca.Forge of the High Mage, Chapter 26, UK HC p.403-404 Falar's Guiding Council of the Faith attempted to coordinate an attack on Curaca to retake the island, but the most powerful Falari cities (Delanss and Strike) insisted on maintaining their own defences foremost.Forge of the High Mage, Chapter 23, UK HC p.355
The de facto ruler of the council, Mallick Rel, then proposed using the Jhistal to sweep clean the entirety of Jook Island, killing the invaders. The other council members were horrified at the idea of killing their own citizens and destroying their own cities, so Mallick agreed to hold off for two days so that the priests on the island could give word to whatever faithful remained to evacuate.Forge of the High Mage, Chapter 24, UK HC p.373 This ultimately failed go come to pass because the Cult of Mael lost command of the Jhistal.
