Whirlwind is a vast, sentient desert storm that dominates the Seven Cities continent in the Malazan Book of the Fallen. Introduced in Deadhouse Gates as the embodiment of rebellion and divine wrath, it becomes the living heart of the Whirlwind Goddess's uprising against Malazan occupation. Across the series, the storm evolves from a localized phenomenon into a continent-spanning force of vengeance, reshaping both the physical landscape and the political destiny of Seven Cities.
