Me and a few friends were wonderring, and could not find the answer anywhere. I searched the forums and viewed every single topic containing the word "Gonen", but I found nothing.
So..who is "Gonen" ?
The only thing I could find was this :
September 15:Gonen Bridge (Built during the past 60 years to allow small groups to pass through the Cloudspine.)is set with charges.
September 15:Garrik leaves Gonen with a small group to find Cruniac.
