Lady Amtal, the daughter of the Countess of Haljhen of Quon Tali, was a skilled sorceress. The slight and pale Lady Amtal seemed to process a "mousy demeanour", but this was, in fact, an affectation. The young sorceress was thought to be an agent of the Queen of Dreams/Enchantress.[1]
In Kellanved's Reach[]
In the formative days of the Malazan Empire, Haljhen was an ally of Gris. Malle of Gris, having called a planning meeting with her Grisian allies, Lady Amtal's mother sent her daughter to Gris to deliver a message at the council. Knowing that her mother's words would probably be unwelcome, Lady Amtal asked for Malle's forbearance and made it clear that no disrespect was intended. Having listened to what Amtal had to say, Malle told her to thank the Countess for her counsel and made it clear that all suggestions would be taken into account.[2]
