I’ve decided the Malazan community needs more sexy pinups of the characters
The one named Iskar Jarak leaned wearily over the large Seven Cities saddle horn. "I sympathize, truly. Tell me, do you think we've all earned our rest?"
"Don't you?"
"You have lost all your followers."
"I have." Gruntle saw that Toc Anaster was now watching him, fixed, sharp as a dagger point.
"They are not here."
He frowned at Iskar Jarak. "And they should be, I suppose?"
Brukhalian finally spoke, "It is just that. We are no longer so sure."
"Stay out of Hood's realm," said Toc Anaster. "The gate is . . . closed."
Master Quell started. "Closed? But that's ridiculous! Does Hood now turn the dead away?"
Toc's single eye held on Gruntle. "The borders are sealed to the living, There will be sentinels. Patrols. Intrusions will not be tolerated. Where we march you can't go. Not now, perhaps never. Stay away, until the choice is taken from you. Stay away."
And Gruntle saw then, finally, the anguish that gripped Toc Anaster, the bone-deep fear and dread. He saw how the man's warning was in truth a cry to a friend, from one already lost, already doomed. Save yourself. Just do that, and it will all be worth it – all we must do, the war we must seek. Damn you, Gruntle, give all this meaning.

Which campaign hurt more?
Coltaine's Chain of Dogs
The defense of Capustan
Gruntle v Xmas
The inn commanding the southeast corner of old Daru Street held no more than half a dozen patrons, most of them visitors to the city who, like Gruntle, were now trapped. The Pannion armies surrounding Capustan's walls had done nothing for five days and counting. There had been clouds of dust from beyond the ridgeline to the north, the caravan captain had heard, signalling... something. But that had been days ago and nothing had come of it.
What Septarch Kulpath was waiting for, no-one knew, though there was plenty of speculation. More barges carrying Tenescowri had been seen crossing the river, until it seemed that half the empire's population had joined the peasant army. "With numbers like that," someone had said a bell earlier, "there'll be barely a mouthful of Capan citizen each." Gruntle had been virtually alone in appreciating the jest.

Analysts Predict XRP Price could hit $5 as Gruntle Presale Surges Past $100k Raised
XRP’s $5 Narrative Is Back on the Table XRP is back in the spotlight as analysts revisit the idea that the token could still make a run toward $5 if the right catalysts line up. That view has picked up fresh attention after a recent Motley Fool analysis argued that real-world asset tokenization could reshape how investors
➤ Analysts are revisiting the possibility of XRP reaching $5, driven by potential catalysts like real-world asset tokenization and institutional interest. ➤ A cross-border tokenized Treasury redemption on the XRP Ledger involving major financial players highlights its growing utility beyond speculation. ➤ The article also introduces Gruntle, an Ethereum-based presale token emphasizing an 'anti-hype' approach with staking features, aiming to capture trader interest alongside XRP's narrative.
Quite the gruntle.
