Location from The Black Company by Glen Cook
The resistance movement against the Lady — prophets, idealists, and soldiers fighting a dark empress with the conviction that they're the good guys, which doesn't make them right about everything else.
The Rebel is the resistance against the Lady's Empire — a broad coalition of the oppressed, the idealistic, and the opportunistic, unified by opposition to the Lady and faith in the prophesied White Rose. They fight a guerrilla war against vastly superior sorcerous power, which is brave and occasionally suicidal. The Rebel is not uncritically heroic — Cook makes clear that resistance movements contain their own zealots, opportunists, and atrocity-committers. The Company fights against the Rebel while serving the Lady, and Croaker's Annals note the Rebel's cruelties alongside their courage. The moral spectrum is grey all the way through. Darling's emergence as the White Rose gives the Rebel its most powerful weapon — her anti-magic field — but also its most complicated leader: a mute woman who can cancel sorcery but can't give speeches.
The Rebel looks like every guerrilla movement: ragged, underfunded, sustained by conviction rather than logistics. They don't have the Taken, they don't have the Lady's infrastructure, and they don't have much of a plan beyond 'the White Rose will save us.' What they have is numbers and belief.
