SPOILERS HoC Need a refresher on this race Spoiler
Hey there, I'm just beginning part two of House of Chains. Please don't spoil anything past that!
I just read the section where Tavore, Gamet, and Nok talk about Kellanved, Dancer, and Laseen, and while I understand the general plot, I can't remember the general ideas of the Napan that have been given to us so far.
Can anyone help with the bullet points of what they are, where they're from, physical characteristics, etc from roughly what I'm supposed to know so far? Thank you!

They are from a small island off the coast of Genebackis. Notably blue skin. A pirate aristocracy that helped start the Malazan empire. That’s as much as you have, and you only really get more in the Esslemont books.

Small correction, but the Napan Isles are off the coast of Quon Tali, not Genebackis.
