Genabackis was a continent where much of the plot in the first books of the series took place. It is one of the larger continents on the planet.

It was bound to the west by Meningalle Ocean, to the north by the Hudd Sea and to the east by the Rust Ocean

The "Free Cities of Genabackis" was an alliance of cities attempting to thwart the Malazan intention to conquer the continent. The majority of them were subjugated. As of the beginning of Gardens of the Moon, only Pale and Darujhistan  are still unconquered by the Malazans.
