abide by the terms of the treaty. Other goblins still hid­

den in the mountains-the enigmatic Heirs of Dhakaan

(see chapter 4 )-could pose a threat both to the goblins

and the rest of Khorvaire.

Traditionally, the Ghaal'dar worshiped a form of the

Dark Six. House Deneith introduced the Sovereign

Host to the region, and some goblins have embraced

this faith, especially the gods Doi Dorn, Doi Arrah,

and Balinor.

INTERESTING THINGS

ABOUT DARGUUN

• House Deneith has a strong presence in Darguun. No
  one will employ goblin armies in the wake of Haruuc's
  betrayal, but security forces value smaller units of gob­
  linoid mercenaries for their ferocity and skills.


• Darguun is a frontier nation. Although recognized by
  the Treaty of Thronehold, it doesn't abide by the com­
  mon laws of the treaty nations. Law enforcement is
  unpredictable, and acts considered criminal in other
  nations are part of life in Darguun.


• A number of bugbear-dominated clans known as
  the Marguul inhabit southern Darguun. Some of the
  Marguul refuse to acknowledge the authority of the
  Ghaal'dar hobgoblins; these clans are especially dan­
  gerous and violent.
  Lhesh Haruuc united the Ghaal'dar clans and seized
  control of Darguun nearly three decades ago. If you
  are a non-goblin from this land, you may have been
  born in captivity. Were you forced into bondage, or
  did you adopt Darguul customs and earn a place in
  their society?

DARGUUL CHARACTERS

Darguun is a logical point of origin for goblin, hobgoblin,

or bugbear characters. When creating a Ghaal'dar char­

acter from Darguun, consider the following:

Constant Struggle. Among the Ghaal'dar, you must

constantly prove your strength and skill to gain and

hold the respect of your kin. Ghaal'dar rarely kill in a

casual battle; you might fight to prove a point but kill

only when you must.

Loyal to Your Clan. Challenge your peers as you like

in times of peace, but when blades unsheathe for

war, you stand by your clan-or those allies you have

bonded with-until death. This loyalty doesn't extend

to warriors of other Ghaal'dar clans.

Muut and Atcha. Your ancestors once forged an empire

even greater than Galifar. Perhaps you believe that

your people can reclaim this lost glory. The Dhakaani

were renowned for their martial skill and their disci­

pline. Muut roughly translates to "duty"-your duty to

your empire, your clan, and your commander. Muut

is expected; if you have no muut, you have no place in

battle. Atcha corresponds to "honor," especially your

personal honor gained by virtuous deeds that tran­

scend the expectations of muut.

CITIES AND SITES

Thirty years ago, this region was part of Cyre. The gob­

lins converted towns and villages and raised new set­

tlements, but many ruins and abandoned farms remain.

The region is also peppered with dungeons dating back

to the ancient goblin empire; these can be found in the

vast Torlaac Moor or beneath the Khraal rainforest.
