I can't remember the book but it feels recent, so I´d go with TtH, DoD or RotCG.
Wehehe.
I think its DoD with one of the T'lan Imass talking about getting the closest to The Bearded One (?), possibly wounding him. Red Spires something maybe? Think there is another thead somewhere speculating on that, as i was thinking it was the Three mage-kings of Shal-Morzinn (sp.?), but as far as i recall there hasn't been anything really concrete on who or what they are, or for that matter, who the heck The Bearded One is. Could be wrong though....
Ah, I think you're right, some distant bells are ringing.
Shall-Morzinn, not quite the same as Assail, oops.
For some reason this Island/Land/Kingdom/whatever-they-are fascinates me more than Assail. Unless they're the same and this is one of those 'duh' moments where I just like one name and description more than another, although they are just two points of view on the same object/subject.
No, they are different places. Assail is its own continent which we have very little information on. Shal-Morzinn is, I think, an island off the coast of Seven Cities? I'm sure someone more well versed in the geography of the world can give you the location. Really we have almost no information on that place either despite its apparent awesomeness though. Its ruled by 3 mage kings, apparently has red spires, repelled an attack by T'lan Imass at one point (probably), and (perhaps most interesting) Kellanved and Dancer decided not to try to conquer it for the Malazan Empire because it would have been too costly. Also I think there is a deserter of it floating around somewhere in the Bonehunter army.
