Gol/Orion's Fields
"You can enslave me, you can kill me, you can torture me, but for the love of the Mother don't exile me to the land out there."
--Haratkos Teffa, after getting convicted of assault, in 413 AB.
Gol, as it was named by the Dwarves, after the root word 'golle', meaning hardlands, was a dangerous and monster-filled land of sparse forests, dusty fields, grassland vistas, and flowing rivers between rolling hills. Hardlands to the dwarves meant deadly locals, but also fields of stone, from which they would build their own cities, long ago. This meant that, though it is a ferocious place, they saw it the materials and potential to have a chance at becoming a great civilization. It appeared they were right.
There are other settlements, built with strong fortifications and all coming into existence a long time after The Feast of Hell, but the prize of Gol, and for that matter the entire Bay of Evandyr, is Golryon.
We are the flame that will burn forever. So long as Gol and all the Bay remains as deadly as it is, Golryon shall stand as it's haven, and the Wardens as it's will.
Alternative Name(s)
Orion's Fields, after the Luenan cartographer that mapped it fully enough to warrant stamping his own name on the map.
