Olboloh, however, was always more famous and had much more authority out of the two, and the gole clearly preferred to deal with her, rather than with Gorōntoh. This made Gorōntoh jealous and she began to worry that she might get sidelined. She then poisoned Olboloh's wine, which Olboloh drank along with her son, and both of them died, ending the bloodline of Joleelohs.

Realizing, however, that she might not make it on her own and that she needs an ally, Gorōntoh told the gole that before her death Olboloh said that she was mistaken about Brone Forod and that he should stand by the gole. Meerō, shaken by the death of his trusted seer, deseprately needed for someone to be his right hand, and Gorōntoh's message was exactly what he wanted to hear. Meerō went down to the palace dungeon and personally opened the door of Forod's cell. [[Porteek]] reports that Meerō was crying and asking Forod for forgiveness. Forod was then reinstated.

Gorōntoh's main career as a courtier begins as Forod is reinstated. She becomes his aide and helps him expand his power by systematically murdering rivals, mostly by using a sword or an axe, but also doing it in a way that in many cases a murder would be discovered only many days and sometimes weeks later. Because if this, Gorōntoh was less concerned with her own alibi.

Gorōntoh's main career as a courtier begins when she helps reinstate Forod. She becomes his aide and helps him expand his power by systematically murdering rivals. Instead of using poison, she opts for an unlikely choice of a sword or an axe as the murder weapon. But her main innovation is organizing murders in a way that the body would be discovered only days or weeks later. This sometimes required her to murder several people of the person's household.

Gorōntoh's involvement in a lot of high profile murders was later deduced by [[Uroh Lorkyn|Uroh Aabos Lorkyn]] who was secretly tasked with the investigation, but was ultimately unable to take action because of Forod's support of Kōtele.
