Geography and Ecology
It borders the Southern Depths to the south, Tukar to the west, Emul to the northwest, and Greater Hexi to the east. The northernmost part of Marat includes the southernmost part of mountain range in the center of the continent. A river separates the border between Marat and Tukar.[2] A grain similar to wheat that pulls down into burrows grows in Marat. Disc-like creatures with claws eat the grain then leave droppings with seeds to the east. The seeds grow into polyps, then blow back west to grow into grain.[1]
History
Szeth visited the country during his exile.[1] During the True Desolation, one of the first moves of the Fused was to gather a large force of singers in southern Marat.[4] During their conquest, the singers pressed any survivors into labor at docks but allowed them to burn their dead.[1] The Fused amassed a large naval fleet of over a hundred ships in the Marat ports and coves in preparation to launch an attack at Thaylen City.[5][6] In the week before the assault, Venli lived in a cave and told the story of the listeners to the singers to prepare them to fight.[7] Nale brought Szeth and the other Skybreakers there to tell them the truth of the First Desolation.[1] The fleet left for Thaylen City during the surprise Everstorm and returned after Odium's defeat.[8]
