| rdfs:comment | - Falah'd was a title given to some rulers on the continent of Seven Cities. As there were seven of them, it is assumed that they presided over the seven Holy Cities. They were often given the honorific Holy as in Holy Falah'd or Holy Falah'dan although the latter spelling may have signified mostly the plural form. They were sometimes addressed simply as Holy One. A Falah'd would introduce himself without the honorific. The title was also often used in conjunction with Holy Protector. Some or all of the Falah'd were (or used to be) priest-mages.

| abstract | - Falah'd was a title given to some rulers on the continent of Seven Cities. As there were seven of them, it is assumed that they presided over the seven Holy Cities. They were often given the honorific Holy as in Holy Falah'd or Holy Falah'dan although the latter spelling may have signified mostly the plural form. They were sometimes addressed simply as Holy One. A Falah'd would introduce himself without the honorific. It is unclear if simply Falah'd was also a (lower) rank of ruler for cities other than the Holy Cities. Neither the list of Falah'd nor that of the Holy Cities is known for sure and there seem to be discrepancies between the two. See also: Holy Cities. The title was also often used in conjunction with Holy Protector. When Seven Cities was conquered by the Malazan Empire, the Holy Falah'd of the subjugated cities mostly fled or were killed. The office of the Falah'd itself was preserved under Malazan rule with some incumbents allying themselves with the Empire. Falah'd were in charge after the retreat of the Malazans. Some or all of the Falah'd were (or used to be) priest-mages.
