Korhivi

The Korhivi were a human cultural group in north-west Genabackis. They were among the three tribes who founded the city of Malyntaeas, though they were known to have warred with the Nathii.
The people of Silver Lake believed the forest to their north was Korhivi hunting land, although they may have been only distant relations.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 4, US HC p.72 A strange and quiet people, these "Korhivi" were not large in number and dressed in furs and hides.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 4, US HC p.71 They came to the edges of the Silver Lake settlement twice a year to trade--once in the spring and once just before the snows.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 4, US HC p.68/71 Further north were larger numbers of the Saemdhi people who did not get along with their neighbours and killed them when it suited them.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 4, US HC p.68
Certain numbers had special meaning to the Korhivi. Six was an especially unlucky number as it was associated with the six islands on death's white river, the six challenges the soul must master on the journey to the Place of Antlers and Horns, and the six teats Tangle-Witch used to feed her demon children. Seven was a good and magical number approved by the spirits.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 8, US HC p.145

== History of Malazan Occupation ==
The Korhivi were at war with the Nathii when the Malazans arrived under Dujek Onearm. He had only three legions from the Bridgeburners, the Malaz 2nd army, and two High Mages, and by the end of that day, the entire Nathii fleet had been sunk, while the Genabarii royal line lay dead in the blood red Korhivi keep, which had by then, capitulated to the Malazans.House of Chains, Chapter 3
==In The God is Not Willing==
When Damisk and Rant made an emergency camp on the north side of Silver Lake, Damisk found sealion fangs marking the area as Saemdhi territory. He speculated that the Saemdhi had killed all of the Korhivi in the forest as no refugees had made their way to the town.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 4, US HC p.67-68
