Kingdom of Ghak
The islands of Ghak, the southern neighbor of Khar, are the homelands of the goblinoids of Vodari; goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears. Over the last few decades on Ghak, this trio found a strange sort of “chaotic harmony” together, where they each fulfill a societal role that helps the island as a whole in a way they have never had before. Instead of constantly fighting one another, the hobgoblins have stepped into the dominant position, becoming leaders of the more numerous goblins. The goblins proved adept at logistical and support roles, once they stopped needing to fight. The bugbears have fulfilled a more militant role, happy to let hobgoblins organize them and give them a purpose: to guard the shores of Ghak and patrol their waters, and to lend the goblins a hand with physical tasks for which the goblins lack the strength. Unlike the goblinoid warlords and warriors of the past, the last few generations have developed a more long-term perspective. They recognize each others’ value and the merits of cooperation over constant conflict, and move toward a unified and productive future. They have found common ground in the scorn of the rest of Vodari, treated like trash, never included in the dealings of the “legitimate nations” of Vodari.
Ghak trades with those willing to actually visit their shores. They are surprisingly decent hosts to anyone sincerely interested in interacting with them. They are also training a diplomatic corps, in the hopes that some nations might soon engage them in talks as equals.
