Mock's Hold is the ancient clifftop fortress that looms over Malaz City, its battered walls a weathered testament to the island's long and violent history. In Gardens of the Moon it frames the prologue's view of the city, where a young Ganoes Paran watches the Mouse Quarter purge unfold below and first encounters Lorn and the Malazan imperial machine. By Deadhouse Gates the Hold has receded into memory, recalled as the Old Keep of Malaz, a distant stone landmark above the sea that symbolizes the Empire's origins, far from the turmoil of Seven Cities.
