Best Regards

Best Regards was a privateer ship from one of the many Quon Tali territories conquered by the Malazan Empire early in its formation.Forge of the High Mage, Chapter 8, UK HC p.131-134
==In Forge of the High Mage==
Emperor Kellanved recruited freebooter vessels from all across Quon Tali to take part in the empire's invasion of the Falari Isles. After seemingly unnatural encounters with dangerous ice fields and enormous waves along the continent's eastern shores, at least ten ships, including the Best Regards, attempted to desert and return home. The emperor's flagship, Twisted, chased in pursuit of the deserters to bring them back into the fold. But Kellanved decided some of the ships could be sacrificed as an example to encourage the loyalty of the others. The Twisted sped ahead of the Best Regards and the emperor cast a cloud of Shadow over the leading three ships causing them to slow and drift without purpose. Sailors from the Best Regards boarded one of the ships to investigate and found its entire crew missing. Kellanved noted to Dancer that the stunned crew of the Best Regards would spread the tale that despite dangers lurking ahead in Falar, even worse awaited those who attempted to turn back.
