- "Mercy in compassion, no dragon lives."
- ―Silanah
'Silanah vs Raest' Interpretation by Shadaan
Silanah Redwings was an Eleint, or dragon, who travelled with the Tiste Andii in Moon's Spawn and was a companion to Anomander Rake.[1]
She had red pebbled skin, iridescent scales, a ridged back, and glowing, multi-faceted eyes.[2][3]
History
According to ancient lore known by Clip of the Bluerose Tiste Andii - and told to Silchas Ruin and Seren Pedac of the "Hunted" - Anomander Rake and Kilmandaros had, in the distant past, fashioned an alliance to seal the gate of Kurald Emurlahn. Silanah reportedly emerged alongside Rake at this sealing of the Emurlahn gate.[4]
In Gardens of the Moon
When the Malazan Empire freed the Jaghut Tyrant Raest from his barrow to challenge Anomander Rake, the Son of Darkness asked Silanah to help delay the Tyrant's march on Darujhistan. She was supported by four Tiste Andii Soletaken in the form of black dragons.[5] Silanah was badly injured by Raest in the process, but he spared her life.[6]
In Memories of Ice
Anomander Rake and Caladan Brood allied with renegade Malazan High Fist Dujek Onearm to battle the Pannion Domin. As the allied armies made their way east towards Capustan, Rake left Brood's camp, telling Korlat he felt the need for Silanah's comfort. He said he would return in a short while.[7]
Later, after the Pannion Domin's defeat at the Battle of Black Coral, the Soletaken Eleint Orfantal mentioned that Silanah was in the air above the battlefield.[8] She likely had been aboard Moon's Spawn as it lay in wait below the waters of Ortnal's Cut before the battle.
In Midnight Tides
Udinaas and Feather Witch accidentally travelled to the Refugium where they met the Imass, Ulshun Pral, and the boy, Rud Elalle. Ulshan Pral spoke of a Hold the two Letherii had never heard of called Starvald Demelain. In an attempt to explain, he listed the names of many of its notable denizens including Silanah. He finished by calling them "Eleint. Draconean. Dragons. The Pure Dragons."[9]
In The Bonehunters
The imprisoned Eleint, Eloth, claimed that Silanah had been seduced to the side of the Soletaken Eleint against her own kind by the charms of Anomandaris.[10]
In Toll the Hounds
Black Coral became the home of the Tiste Andii after the destruction of Moon's Spawn. Silanah kept watch over the city from atop the New Palace.
In The Crippled God
Silanah by Dejan Delic
Silanah returned with the Tiste Andii under Nimander Golit to Kharkanas and fought the Soletaken Eleint of the Tiste Liosan in the Defence of the First Shore.
