abstract | - The Founding Races were the four races which were primarily responsible for the foundation of civilization in the Malazan World before the human race came to dominance. These were K'Chain Che'Malle, Forkrul Assail, Jaghut and Imass. Other races did exist but they were few and far between, playing little or no part in shaping the world's history It should be noted that this view about the founding races was based on a fragment of a translator's note to a lost edition of Gothos' Folly and as such the information must be viewed as likely being incomplete and possibly not entirely correct. It is also contradicted by T'riss, who described it as "...a self-justifying myth. Just like all of your origin myths."
