Once a nation of the Borderlands, Malkier lay north of Shienar and Arafel. Its banner was the Golden Crane. It was swallowed by the Blight in 955 NE.

The nation of Malkier was formed early in the War of the Hundred Years. The governors of Artur Paendrag Tanreall's five northern provinces met and agreed to form stable nations to preserve the peace and defend against the Blight. Shevar Jamelle was the first King of Malkier.
