The Green Cesspool
Deep past the treacherous forests to the west of Saleth lies an infamous and foreboding island known as The Green Cesspool. It is a land shrouded in mist and draped in the dense vegetation of sprawling swamps, making it a formidable and unforgiving terrain to traverse. This eerie island serves as a sanctuary for every goblinoid species. Goblins, hobgoblins, and even bugbears have found a home amidst the murky marshes.
At the heart of The Green Cesspool stands the sprawling city of Ciki Za Greedit , a testament to the insatiable greed that plagues goblin kind. It is said to have been erected by the goblin god of greed, Grimmer, who is worshipped fervently by the goblin inhabitants. Ciki Za Greedit is a labyrinthine city, constructed on stilts above the treacherous swamp waters, with rickety bridges connecting various structures. The entire city exudes an air of chaos and squalor, its twisted architecture reflecting the twisted minds of its goblin denizens.
Within the foul-smelling streets and alleyways of Ciki Za Greedit, goblinoids of all kinds can be found engaged in their sordid affairs. The city teems with illicit activities, shady dealings, and cutthroat rivalries as goblins scurry about, driven by their insatiable hunger for wealth and power. Makeshift markets filled with stolen treasures, trinkets, and ill-gotten gains line the muddy pathways, attracting not only goblinoids but also unscrupulous traders and opportunistic adventurers seeking to profit from the chaos.
Despite the city's disorganized appearance, there is a sinister hierarchy in place. Goblins, the lowest on the totem pole, scurry about doing menial tasks and serving their more powerful kin. Hobgoblins, with their disciplined nature and militaristic mindset, hold positions of authority and enforce order in their own twisted way. The bugbears, towering and fearsome, are often employed as enforcers, using their brute strength and intimidating presence to maintain control over the city's unruly populace. The cities leader much to the displeasure of hobgoblins and bugbears is an ancient ashy skinned goblin known as Garlic. He claims that he is the chosen reprisentative of Grimmer for Maeon.
Life in The Green Cesspool is treacherous and survival is a constant struggle. Tribal conflicts, power struggles, and acts of thievery and betrayal are common occurrences, creating an environment of perpetual chaos. However, amidst the mire and malevolence, there is a certain resilience and resourcefulness among the goblinoid inhabitants. They have adapted to the harsh environment and honed their skills in stealth, guerrilla warfare, and survival, making them formidable opponents to any intruders foolish enough to challenge them.
The Green Cesspool, with its fetid swamps and the bustling city of Ciki Za Greedit, stands as a testament to the darker side of goblinoid nature. It is a place where greed, deception, and savagery thrive, and where the cunning and ruthless rise to positions of power. Those who dare to venture into this treacherous island must be prepared to face not only the physical challenges of the swamps but also the cunning and ferocity of the goblinoid inhabitants who call The Green Cesspool their home.
