General Omolara (Oh-ma-lar-rah)
General Omolara
In a land where hope, kindness, and support are severely lacking General Omolara embodied all these attributes and more. General Omolara, one of the Exalted, was hailed as one of the greatest leaders of her time, known for an abundance of compassion as well as a penchant for displaying her prodigious martial prowess. She was the youngest Exalted ever and at her prime was considered to be the most powerful Exalted in existence. She however disappeared shortly after her 40th birthday and has not truly been seen since. Many believe her dead but there are some that still search the rumor mills for mention of a purger woman freeing encampments across Lanfe singlehandedly.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Omolara was born to a family in a mining encampment, her parents both died shortly after her 10th birthday and she was taken in by another family. As a youngling she was forced to clean the metals and ores found by the miners, as all were forced to work as soon as possible. Through all of this so early she was always seen smiling as if she created joy for herself.
Five years later a great gift was given to her for her birthday, freedom, granted to her by a purger company commanded by an Exalted aspirant. She was given the choice of joining the company and the safety it afforded or wandering Lanfe. Many from her encampment took their chances wandering but Omolara jumped at the chance of adventure.
It became apparent very quickly that Omolara was a gifted child any task she was set to while with the company she exceed expectations. After being with the company for a while Omolara decided that she wanted to learn to be a purger, she was told she would have to wait till they arrive at a special training barge where they can test her skills. Arriving at the barge they left Omolara in the care of the head instructor who wasted no time in beginning her training.
Omolara was a prodigy, one of the finest to come through the training barge according to the head instructor. She was so young though so many did not pay her much attention...not until there was a training tourney where all current cadets went against each other. Omolara did not win but she made a lasting impression on everyone involved. Her purger company returned to the barge after her graduation and took her back as a full purger.
Omolara fought side by side with her fellow Purgers for many years, her personality always strengthen the resolve of those around her and she was well loved by them all. The Exalted aspirant granted her position of general when she was 20 years old, the youngest ever in her company's history. As general she lead many rescues and battles. It was at the Siege of Onyà where she cemented her legacy and was hailed as Exalted.
After becoming Exalted Omolara started her own purger company and the first rule she established was that they were not to call her Exalted for she was no different than them, she may lead but that requires her to be present with them in the battle and therefore she wants to just be called General Omolara. 20 years went by and Omolara established a name for herself becoming one of the most powerful purgers in history and her company was just as famous.
No one knows how or why but shortly after her 40th birthday Omolara vanished without a trace.

Hi there! You may not know me, but I am the sponsor of the Great Leader of Their People Summer Camp Prompt this year! Since you wrote this article, I would like to know, would you mind me reading it aloud on my Twitch channel this week? I have a lot to get through so it helps to do it live while people watch. I've scheduled to go live at 8am and 8pm Eastern Time every weekday. If you join and comment, I can go over your article right then and there! If you'd like to coordinate a specific date, let me know. If you aren't able to make it (or don't want to be present live), you can also always watch streams after the fact on my YouTube channel BUT, if the answer is NO because you'd rather I not, it's okay! Not agreeing to be streamed definitely does not put you at any disadvantage for winning in my eyes. Please respond swiftly by replying here (make sure to click REPLY under my comment or I won't be notified), message me on my World Anvil profile page, Discord, or anywhere else you find me online. Thanks again! Whatever you choose, God bless and much success! <3
