artisans and laborers, but exceptional goblins join the
khesh'dar ("silent folk"), learning the skills of rogues,
monks, or rangers. The khesh'dar spread agents across
the Five Nations, and one can never know when a city
goblin might turn out to be an assassin.
As an adventurer from a Dhakaani clan, consider why
are you working with the other player characters? Are
you a scout gathering information? Are you searching
for allies to defeat a rival clan, or to support your own
unlikely bid for the Imperial throne? Are you an exile?
If so, do you hope to regain your position, or have you
abandoned your ties to the Dhakaani?GOBLINOID NAMES
Goblinoid names often feature drawn-out vowel sounds
(represented by doubled letters), as seen in the names of
both their ancient empire (Dhakaan) and their newborn
country (Darguun). Goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears
use the same names and naming conventions, despite
their tribal differences.
