The Hilltop Rings first appear in Deadhouse Gates as a mysterious, ancient site of power on the Seven Cities continent. Throughout the series, these rings evolve from a simple geographic marker into a nexus of magical convergence and historical significance, serving as a focal point for both the rebellion and the convergence of gods and ascendants. Their role expands as they become intertwined with the larger metaphysical struggles of the Malazan world, particularly in relation to the Crippled God and the shifting balance of power among the pantheon.
