North and Central Genabackis
South Genabackis
Callows was a city of thirty thousand residents[1] bordering the Lamatath Plain on the southwest coast of Genabackis, which was known for its spices and perfumes.[2] It was a trader city and merchant's paradise whose harbour was filled with countless ships. Copper-sheathed domes, minarets, winding streets, and flower-filled balconies contributed to its overall beauty.[1] Merchant trader ships from Callows were found anchored in Darujhistan.[3]
A person from Callows was referred to as a Callowan.[4]
Callows was home to the Thousand Sects of D'rek, each with its own religious dogma and icons.[5] Hidden below the city was an abandoned temple of K'rul.[1]
The Phoenix Inn served Callows bitter coffee.[6]
To the west of Callows was The Twins, an unspecified geographic feature.[7]
In Memories of Ice[]
Lady Envy was summoned to Callows to meet with K'rul. When she arrived she found that the city had been sacked and that none of its roughly 30,000 inhabitants had survived. Their bodies lay in heaped pyres along the road into the city, and their blood ran through the streets into the harbour. Every ship in the harbour had been holed and sunk.[1]
Envy initially thought it was the work of the Pannion Domin, but K'rul assured her that the devastation had been wrought by an unhuman army upon a warren-twisted fleet "from across the ocean", plying the world's oceans for a worthy challenge.[1]
In Reaper's Gale[]
It was revealed that the citizens of Callows had been slain by the Tiste Edur of one of the Edur Imperial Fleets sent out by Emperor Rhulad Sengar. The fleets menaced the waters of the western Genabackis continent searching for champions to face the Emperor and capturing natives they thought might provide valuable intelligence. Among those they took back to Letheras with them were denizens of Callows.[8] Just south of Callows they had also brought aboard the Seguleh Twelfth, who they had discovered near dead in a storm-battered scow.[8]
In Toll the Hounds[]
The nomadic tyrant of the Lamatath Plain known as The Captain mentioned sending emissaries to New Callows, implying people had rebuilt the city.[9]
