Sharn Inquisitive: Issue #9611
REMNANTS OF GOBLIN SETTLEMENT DISCOVERED
The beloved explorers of the Clifftop Adventurer's Guild have once again shone light on an undiscovered feature of our world. Just yesterday, we received a detailed messenger raven describing the remnants of a previously undiscovered goblin colony, deep within the King's Forest. Some elven sages have asserted that goblins, while never a majority race in any corner of Khorvaire (excluding their haven of Darguun), used to be present nonetheless in most major cities. Nowadays, however, goblins are a rare sight to see anywhere, even in the racial mixing bowl that is Sharn. Think, when's the last time you saw one?
The Clifftoppers report that the ruins contain some rather advanced facets of a society, especially one that appears to have been abandoned for such a long period of time. The craftsmanship was "exceptional, I suspect it would give even House Cannith a run for their galifars", especially regarding militaristic equipment. Armor, spears, shortswords, bows; all handcrafted and in working condition, while a bit rusted. One Clifftopper remarked "I'm glad we found it abandoned. I wouldn't want to have discovered it with goblins wielding these things!"
There were, however, complications. In the center-most temple of the ruins, the adventurers discovered the wreckage to be not entirely abandoned. Surrounded by grotesque, abhorrent goblin corpses was a psychotic necromancer. He was a pale, short human man, who simply called himself "Kyrrqin". According to the Clifftoppers, he spoke utter nonsense, and did not even resist the adventurers subduing and restraining him. Kyyrqin was not successful in reanimating any of the goblin bodies, but evidently managed to disfigure them in incredibly horrifying ways. Some with several heads, some with see-through skin, some with unspeakable transformations. Regardless of these efforts, the mad necromancer has been returned to and imprisoned in Sharn, where he continues to babble incoherently day and night.
