Oh my god this looks soooo awesome, I cannot wait.

The final tale...

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

If this image is taken faithfully from the book, and I'm virtually certain it is, the figure is The Watch and the dragon is one that has never been named before

I'm trying to decide between the big thing being a tuskless Fener or an olyphant...

So, you're the historian who survived the Chain of Dogs.
Actually, I didn't.

It seems you stand alone.
It was ever thus.

Damn you for spoiling our guessing

Anyway just because it would be boring:

The thing in the orange cloud could very well be Fener. Yet I never heard of a boar with a trunk. Oh well.

You know, this picture leads me to a question. How big are the "Big Boss" dragons actually in the Malazan Universe?

The one in this picture is gigantic, like the size of an Aircraft Carrier or something. I remember talk about Olar Ethil being mentioned as Twin to Tiam in her shape and size, and she dwarfed the Silanda I think. How big was the Silanda?

How big was Rake for example? or Korlat? Ruin didn't sound that big in RG.

The thing you think is a trunk or horn is actually it's tail, swinging around

adit: err.. this is Hetan, stealing Mal's account, for a change.

Kick(!)-Ass(!) Cover !!

But definitely NOT a horn, but the tail of the dragon - if we had this in 3-D or physically in our hands, it would be way clearer. The tail kinda fades into the fire mushroom; you have to squint your eyes out on that one.

Ahhh ok I was looking at it like a side profile but really its facing right at the viewer and its tail only looks like its coming out its ear.

btw, I am absolutely picturing Yedan looking up at that thing and saying "you're one...ugly...motherfucker", so that better be in the book if this scene is as faithful as mal says.

The Watch staring down a lot of fire with a dragon? I'd hazard Osserc, but that's probably miles off. I don't really believe that myself. But I'm out of ideas.

Not named yet. So... a new 'character'?

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

According to GotM, Silanah is twice the size of the Tiste Andii Soletaken, and Rake in turn "dwarfs" Silanah. So I'm guessing they can get preeeetty large.

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

I remember in GotM, Silanah's eye being the size of Raest's head.

The Silanda had a cabin, two decks and a couple dozen zombie rowers. I think it's fair to say 30 to 40 feet long. If Olar Ethil dwarfs that, she could be something like 100 to 150 feet.

Orfantal was large enough to grab Kallor in a claw, but small enough for Kallor to stick him in the neck, so I figure maybe Silanda size works for him and Korlat.
