It is said among the tribes of this land that in the most ancient times, the oldest prophet-leaders of the goblins, called Darrmu, created a vast labyrinth under the Great Mountains.

No man, elf or dwarf was allowed to enter such a secret and holy place, the goblin city. It was imagined as a (…)

There is only one true law: the strongest prevail. We are the agents of nature’s selection, and today we deliver judgment on those unworthy of life!

The traders in the east are unable to provide the same quantities as last year. They blame the vermin.
