Malazan | Founding Races

Want to learn more about some of the older races in the Malazan world? Here I discuss the Jaghut, Forkrul Assail, K'Chain Che'Malle, and Imass :) They're all very fun to learn about, and I avoided major story spoilers at least. Hope you enjoy!
Have any questions you want me to go into?
I'll be making more lore based content!

    That's funny. I've always pictured Jaghut as Warcraft trolls.

    "tall skinny warcraft orcs" so you were imagining them as warcraft trolls :D

    Thanks for making these. It helps me when I have to quickly introduce others to the series. Just wanted to mention, according to the Audio Books, the name Jaghut is pronounced exactly as it's spelled. Jag - Hut. Unless the narrator was mistaken. That's how I've read it ever since.

    That's how I personally pronounce it in my own head, the pronounciation used in the video is based off of Erikson himself satying the word in interviews :) It's a very fun dynamic between reading things how I do in my head, discovering the audiobooks say some names completely differently, then finding out the author also says it another way haha. I prefer the way you pronounce Jaghut, it sounds better to me. Though apparently I've been saying Malazan incorrectly the whole time, but I can't bring myself to change that :P

    It does get a bit hard sometimes since it can be very tricky to dance around a subject, but it's very fun! FA are probably my favorite fantasy race in terms of physical design so far. Also the Parshendi from Sandersons' Cosmere are amazing :)

    @@gracelesspassion1750 I actually haven't read any Brandon Sanderson yet! I was trying to decide between the Stormlight Archives books and Malazan, and now I've been reading those for over a year. The plan is to start reading some Sanderson once I've finally finished Malazan.

    Lol yeah! I spent like 15 years saying it one way in my head, and it's very difficult to change the way I pronounce it. I've given up trying to change it, i just always feel awkward saying it the actual way
