Morsko

Morsko was a town in central Genabackis located east of Heath.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 4, US SFBC p.125Toll the Hounds, Chapter 6, US SFBC p.210 Set against a backdrop of low, forested hills, it appeared quaint and idyllic.
Near the town's centre was a broad square featuring a bricked well set upon water-worn limestone slabs. Nearby was the only stone building in town--a low and squat former Pannion Domin temple that was converted to use for worship of the Dying God. To the left of the temple was a half dilapidated and sparsely used inn,Toll the Hounds, Chapter 4, US SFBC p.126 behind which was a large stable.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 6, US SFBC p.210 A lone tavern provided food and drink.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 6, US SFBC p.202
Heath was a three-day trip by road to the west.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 6, US SFBC p.225

Like many towns left impoverished by the depredations of the Pannion Domin, Morsko took to farming the plants used to create Kelyk. Harvested plants were dried in the town's square before being processed within the temple of the Dying God. Amphorae of the foul drink were then carried by traders to Bastion for distribution.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 4, US SFBC p.126
Clip, Nimander Golit, Aranatha, Desra, Kedeviss, Nenanda, and Skintick found their way to Morsko while travelling to Black Coral. They first encountered fields of kelyk outside the town, which were crowded with rag-bound scarecrows hung from crosses. Closer inspection revealed the motionless figures were possibly still-living people from whom a black, blood-like substance oozed to feed the crops.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 4, US SFBC p.123-124
Clip overrode the others' disgust, ordering them into town because they needed supplies. Before they could leave the fields, they were welcomed by a priest of the Dying God and guided to the inn at the town square. The priest offered them kelyk, but seeing the lifeless expressions and kelyk-stained lips of the locals, Clip forbid the Tiste Andii from imbibing.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 4, US SFBC p.125-127 
Curious about the rituals of the Dying God, Clip ordered the others to stay within their rooms while he went to observe. Nimander and Skintick used the opportunity to return to the fields where they found the limbs of the scarecrows all in motion as their blood flowed into the ground. Nearly overcome by the plants' newly released pollen they struggled back to the inn. Screams from the site of the Dying Gods' ritual brought the Andii running. They found a catatonic Clip lying amidst a crowd of dead worshippers, his sword covered in blood. The Dying God's priests had fled.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 6, US SFBC p.202-210
Nimander and the others put Clip in an ox-driven wagon and took possession of the town's three scrawny horses. They set off toward Bastion in pursuit of the Dying God's priests with the hope of returning Clip to himself.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 6, US SFBC p.210-211/226
