Biography

Campaign Against Warlords

"My guess is that a Warlord raided this place for its livestock and then set off a bomb."
"Why?"
"Why not? No one was here to stop them.
"
— Gol and Orin discussing the irradiated village they discovered

Gol discovered a Awoken corpse within a forest and found that he was able to resurrect them. Upon bringing his Lightbearer to life, she requested he name her and decided to call her Orin. He requested a name from her as well and she dubbed him Gol, although she was unsure why. Gol quickly began explaining things about the world to Orin, including that there was a settlement a few days to the east. However, Fallen patrolled the roads on the way to the village and would kill them if they were caught. Orin grabbed a large branch and asked it would work against the aliens as a weapon, but Gol told her it would not and warned that the Fallen had guns. Despite this, his new Lightbearer stripped the smaller branches to craft a sturdier mace.[1]

When they reached the village the found it a smoldering ruin with no survivors. Gol scanned the area and detected radiation and determined that a Warlord had probably utilized fission weapons and warned Orin to keep her distance. However Orin wanted a closer look and entered the ruins, where they found the bodies of the villagers. She questioned what had done this and if it was the aliens, but Gol told her that aliens did not use radiation weapons due to it ruining the land and that a Warlord was responsible, likely setting off the bomb after stealing the livestock. His Lightbearer wanted to know why and when this had happened, and Gol explained that they did it because they could without anyone to stop them and that it had probably happened within the last thirty-six hours. Orin lamented that she should have walked faster and began vomiting from the radiation. Gol warned her that they needed to go and that she needed to leave before dying of radiation sickness and get stuck in a loop of dying and reviving.[1]

Together the two began scavenging better weapons and armor, which Orin used in a campaign against the local Warlords. They eventually met with a group of other Lightbearers known as the Pilgrim Guard and were welcomed into their ranks as protectors of civilians and refugee convoys. Gol tried to comfort Orin after she confessed to him that she felt restless about her origins and wanted to know more, but also felt like a monster for not being content with her friends and purpose.[2] The Pilgrim Guard eventually began taking refugees to the growing camp below the Traveler that was called "The Last City". Gol and Orin were astounded by the number of people who had gathered there and decided to remain for a time so that Orin could search for answers about her origins.[3]
