− | '''[[Farnole]]''' /fɑr'nɔːl/ ([[bukk|Bukkean]]: Fornōl) was a [[superhero warrior]] from Orden. She had the ability to vanish people and objects, including whole armies, without a trace. Considered to be the most powerful superhero warrior of her generation, she reluctantly helped [[Hee Oordar|Hee]] to defend Orden from [[Kren Oordar|Rodare Oordar]], by vanishing Rodare and his army. Fearing Farnole's powers, Hee ordered her assassination shortly thereafter. | + | '''Gorōna Oordar''', born Gorōna Toarlameek, was [[Murdoh]] of Mantar in the second half of the 16th CSR, wife of [[Nilma Oordar]] and later [[tarnarian_military_ranks|Jeenor]] of Qep. |
| | | |
− | It was later discovered that Farnole was not just vanishing people, but actually sending them across space and time, which created the famous [[Oordar causal loop]]. Rodare Oordar and his army were transported about 350 km to the east from their original position, and 80 years into the past. She was thus potentially responsible for the existence of the Oordar clan and subsequently Tref, and changed the course of history in Tarnaria.
| + | Born into a powerful Toarlameek family, Gorōna was raised in Lora. Toarlameeks were originally from Qep city, but fled to Lora when [[maksag Oordar|Maksag]] invaded the country, correctly believing Lora to be safer. After Lora was conquered by Maksag in 1515, Toarlameeks lost most of their wealth, but were spared by Maksag along with several other noble households. The reigns of the city were given to one of Maksag's Jeens, [[Heemin]]. |
| + | |
| + | Over the next decade, as the city was rebuilt, Toarlameeks were able to retain their privileged status, but not wealth. When Heemin died from an illness, Gorōna's father Taley Toarlameek took advantage of that and in early 1528 traveled to Mantar to take part in the victory celebrations of Oordar's subjugation of Mantar. |
| + | |
| + | Gorōna was made Murdoh of Goolkoon, the region and city which was the least loyal to Mantar. Nilma chose the strategy of diplomacy and installed Gorōna, someone with Qep's lineage, so as to ease the tensions and reduce the appearance of oversight, learning from Kren's and Maksag's mistakes at [[Maksag_Oordar#Uprising_in_Or|Or]]. |
| + | |
| + | However, [[Kren the Younger]] used Gorōna in [[Nilma_Oordar#Political_expulsion|his plot]] against Nilma and made Gorōna the ruler of Mantar. Gorōna did not learn about the plot until many years later, but sided with Tonaran and removed Nilma from her court some time in 1580s. |
| | | |
− | However, her responsibility is shared, as Farnole herself was part of the causal loop. She was reluctant to help, because she claimed her family was mistreated by [[Maksag Oordar]], who drove them from [[Mantar]] and forced them to migrate westward and settle in Orden, probably referring to the aftermath of Mantar's resistance movement in 1529-1533. And Maksag was in power only because Farnole sent Rodare Oordar into the past. Due to the nature of causal loops, it is impossible to know which action set the loop in motion. But Farnole was definitely a key element in making the loop possible.
