The Pilgrim Guard eventually heard rumors of a [[The Last City|Last Safe City]] to the south that was defended by a group of Risen known as the [[Iron Lords]]. Orin and her comrades were skeptical, as many presumably safe havens had developed in the past before being destroyed. They decided to reroute their newest caravan there in the hopes that it would be different, as the south had more fertile lands compared to the northern deserts. Orin hoped that they would find a safe haven in the hopes in would give her the chance to rest, although she felt guilty and regarded that as a selfish desire. When they arrived they discovered that the Last City was a mass series of tents and muddy roads situated beneath the [[Traveler]], but it was defended by many other Risen supported by a civilian militia.<ref name="QAQ">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Ecdysis#Question_After_Question|Ecdysis - Question After Question]]''</ref> | The Pilgrim Guard eventually heard rumors of a [[The Last City|Last Safe City]] to the south that was defended by a group of Risen known as the [[Iron Lords]].

Orin was stunned and happy to explore the emerging City and the Pilgrim Guard settled into the settlement for awhile. However, the rest of the Guard prepared to set out on an eighteen-month mission to the north to search for more refugees to bring to the City. Orin decided to remain in the Last City instead of heading back out into the wilds. Her comrades understood her decision but were grieved to leave her behind and before they left all nine members of the Pilgrim Guard made a mark into her hammer so that it now read "I I I I I I I I I AM THE END OF ALL THINGS". Orin began investigating the origins of the Awoken further, noting that there were only a few in the City, the majority of whom were also Risen. She began questioning the non-Risen Awoken residents about their origins, ships, and weapons, along with if they also heard voices and had visions. She also wondered why if she had been one of them why no one had ever come looking for her.<ref name="QAQ"/> | Orin was stunned and happy to explore the emerging City and the Pilgrim Guard settled into the settlement for awhile.

During her search for answers, Orin met [[Namqi Sen]], | During her search for answers, Orin met [[Namqi Sen]], a [[The Reef|Reef native]] pilot stranded on Earth after his ship was damaged by a Fallen [[Skiff]] during a mission. Orin questioned him about the Reef and the Awoken there as he struggled to repair his ship, becoming fascinated that he too had omens in his dreams and could hear a voice when alone. Eventually, Orin went with Namqi for drinks and continued her questioning, where she began to find Namqi's looks and listening ability attractive. After eight weeks, Namqi finally repaired his ship, but Orin had managed to convince him to violate the Queenslaw and smuggle her and Gol beyond the [[Vestian Outpost]]. While pleased that she finally had some answers, she was unsatisfied with the knowledge she had gained and wished to learn why she had decided to leave the Reef. As they entered the Reef and flew towards [[Interamnia]] they were intercepted by several ''[[Ceres Galliot]]'' fighters.<ref name="EQ">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Ecdysis#Queenslaw|Ecdysis - Queenslaw]]''</ref> | ||
Orin was visited in her cell by Sjur, who was slightly disheartened to see her old friend as a Guardian. After a brief detainment, [[Mara Sov|Queen Mara]] had Orin brought before her without Gol or Namqi. Despite remembering nothing of her past, Orin immediately recognized her. Mara explained to her why she was banished from the Reef. Orin was brought before her former Queen several times over the course of her imprisonment, where Mara spoke to her about things more terrifying than anything she learned since she was first revived. Eventually, Mara decided that since Orin no longer had memories of being Nasar, she could not be held accountable for violating an oath made in her past life. Instead, she was punished for sneaking into the Reef and was allowed to go free in exchange for a favor that Mara would call upon later. After being released, Orin returned to Earth to contemplate everything she learned.<ref name="EQ"/> | Orin was visited in her cell by Sjur, who was slightly disheartened to see her old friend as a Guardian but pleased that Namqi had brought her back.
