Malaz 4th Army

The Malaz 4th Army was the army that had, at its very inception, fought the first Wickan Wars against Coltaine during Kellanved's reign.

In House of Chains

Fist Gamet recalled his service in the Malaz 4th's early days fighting against the Wickans.

In Return of the Crimson Guard

Much later, the 4th was the primary Malazan army defending Quon Tali during the Malazan civil war against the Talian League. At the Battle of the Plains near Li Heng it fought against both the League and the Crimson Guard.

In Stonewielder

The 2nd Division of the 4th Army, under the command of Divisional Fist Rillish Jal Keth, was part of the Malazan Expeditionary Force which was sent to Korel by Emperor Mallick Rel to put down the renegade Malaz 6th Army.
