There recently has been word that warring amongst the tribes has increased, as northern tribes have begun migrating southward, fleeing their ancestral lands (1).

They opress the lesser coordinated southern orcs into service. (1c) Northern Plateau Orcs wear fur, (1c) and southern orcs wear reptile skins. (1)

location:

Eye of the Destroyer(1) -- Mountain Summit(1)
-It was here that Grummsh's eye fell to the earth, when he tore out Corellon's arrow(1)
-Persistent(1) Zone of Truth(1) in effect

In times of dire change the orcs of the northern plateaux will host a chieftains' moot on this hallowed mount. Here, with all deceptions pierced by the Eye of the Destroyer, only the strongest chieftain can prevail.

Not Grummsh but Grummsh-like. (1) An emanation of Grummsh onto this plane called Muurgsh. (1) Most of the stories of Muurgsh's Eye and Reloccan's (1) Arrow remain constant throughout the planes but really all is possible in the infinite births of the Allmother.

Haha, love it.

Of course it was the burning of Reloccan's quicksilver bullet(1) that drove Muurgsh mad, digging his own eye out of his skull and casting it to earth. But the madness and hatred could not be cast away so easily.

Region:

The Red Delves (1)
Large open-pit iron mines (1) where the plateau fragments and meets the mountains to the west (1), valued for their easily-accessible hematite and magnetite deposits (1). Lodestones from these mines are particularly valued for their size and strength (1).

Nomadic Goblins: They are casters of intricate ritual magic (1c). Therefore they are highly secretive and collaborative (think slightly hive-minded) (2c). They always travel in groups divisible by three (1c). Because of the intricate protection spells they lay into their camps, traders have learned it is best to wait for the goblins to approach (1c). Most trade with them is based around spell components (1c).

The harmonic resonance of goblin magic is only in-phase when three goblins work together. When three goblins work together to cast a spell, they may make the spell attack roll with advantage, or the saving throw is made with disadvantage (1). This requires one action from each of the ritual's participants (1 shaman + 2 adjuncts) (1).

Tenk N (IV in Orc Notations), the Boar Rider https://cdn2.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/000/754/598/large/quentin-de-warren-porc.jpg?1443931681 (1)
The Nomad Goblins operate so closely (hiveminded) only because they have to try to match pace with the orcs that share knowledge in a much more intimate fashion. (1)

Tenk N Grokked knowledge of Beast Riding from an unwilling Southern Orc. (1) When Tenk N is ready to grok his knowledge on forward, it will take a considerable advantage away from the Southern Orcs (1)
The language of the Northern Orcs is a strange dialect indeed. Because of generational grokking, they have begun to drop vowel sounds from their language entirely, speaking in a guttural clip that can be vaguely identified as Orc and is no longer written in Dwarven script. A player that speaks orc can roll intelligence DC 15 to understand what they are saying. (3)

The essence of the tribe of Tenk N is Greed (1). Their thirst for power, control, and knowledge consumes all -- even their own traditional language, identity, and god. Tenk N is God. Taking is God.

The goblin nomads trade with the denizens of the Underdark Forest for quite a few of their more important ritual components (1). The trade route is a long and hazardous one (1), but pressure from the Grokking Orcs has made the acquisition of more powerful components necessary for the goblins' survival (1).

The goblins trade with duergar (1) who use their ability to enlarge to pick rare somberfruits, (1) blind oilbird eggs, (1) and occasionally will trade black diamonds. (1) The somberfruits can also be used to induce terrible but accurate dreams. (1)

Hobgoblins hold control of The Red Delves (1). Their slaves mine the iron there for the mass production of fine steal weapons (1) for their army (1).
Jun 3, 2017 6:12 am
The Hobgoblins have mobilized for war against the dwarves of the Marble City. (1) Their fires can be seen glowing in the distance (1). Their leader is a fierce masked Warlord (1) that has made a deal with a hag for longevity (1). Beneath the Red Delves lies an ancient dungeon that holds a fallen angel prisoner (1).
Jun 28, 2017 4:26 am
What if the hobgoblin warlord made a deal with a Rakshasa instead? A Rakshasa that might just have an interest in the opening of a certain fallen angel's prison.
Jun 28, 2017 4:36 am
I'm not sure the hobgoblins would even know what they possess. This was a dungeon I ran back in the day with my other group that was loosely based in the same world. If anything, the rakshasa would never directly deal with any creatures, opting to instead beguile them. That said, releasing the angel would be one of the four signs of the Apocalypse.
