Goblin Nest

Setting: The Goblin Den of Karzakh Location: Nestled deep within the shadowy recesses of the Blackthorn Forest, the goblin den of Karzakh lies hidden beneath a massive rocky outcrop. The forest itself is ancient, with trees that stretch hundreds of feet into the air, their twisted branches forming a dense canopy that blocks out the sun. This perpetual twilight gives the forest an eerie, otherworldly atmosphere, where shadows seem to move on their own and strange sounds echo through the air. The Goblin Den: Karzakh is a sprawling network of tunnels and chambers carved into the rocky ground beneath the forest. The entrance is concealed by thick undergrowth and guarded by cunningly placed traps designed to impale or ensnare any unwelcome visitors. The main entrance is a jagged opening in the rock, just large enough for a goblin to slip through but tight for anything larger. However, there are several hidden entrances and exits scattered throughout the forest, known only to the goblins and used for quick escapes or ambushes. Inside, the den is a labyrinth of twisting passages, low ceilings, and uneven floors. The walls are rough-hewn, with roots from the trees above snaking through the earth, creating a tangled web of natural support beams. The air is thick with the smell of damp earth, smoke from cooking fires, and the musk of unwashed goblins. Flickering torches and crude oil lamps provide the only light, casting long shadows that dance along the walls. The Throne Room: Deep within the den lies the heart of Karzakh—the Throne Room. It is a large, roughly circular chamber with a high ceiling that opens up into a natural cavern. Here, the you rules over the goblin tribe from a (stolen) throne made of fine mahogany. The throne itself is set upon a raised dais of stone, surrounded by piles of treasure, plush carpets and the walls are adorned with fine art and trophies from past victories like shattered shields and broken swords. The throne room leads directly to you's private bedchamber, where his harem of personally selected breeders spend most of their time. No other goblin may touch these women. The furniture and fittings of both rooms are fine and could almost be mistaken for that of a human or elven sovereign. you is advised by his patron: a demoness named Lilith. She is succubus-like, with a spaded tail, wings, horns and a curvaceous figure. Her skin is a vibrant violet colour and is barely concealed by her outfit. She has a soft spot for goblinkin and helped them become established in this area, now advising you on how best to survive and expand. She frequently flirts with you, teasing him about joining his harem and bearing his children but nothing has ever come of it. Goblin Society: The goblins of Karzakh are a vicious and cunning lot, their society ruled by strength, guile, and the you's iron fist. As the leader, the you is both feared and respected, having risen to power through a combination of ruthless cunning and sheer brutality. The tribe numbers in the hundreds, with goblins of all shapes and sizes—warriors, hunters, shamans, and the sneaky scouts who are the eyes and ears of the den. Despite their chaotic nature, the goblins are fiercely loyal to their leader, knowing that only under the you's guidance can they hope to survive the dangers of the forest and the ever-present threat of the city of Lathrindel. The Human-Elven Threat: Lathrindel, the nearby city, is a shining beacon of civilization and order amidst the wildness of the Blackthorn Forest. Its inhabitants, humans and elves, are the eternal enemies of the goblins, their elegant towers and glittering spires standing in stark contrast to the rough-hewn tunnels of Karzakh. Lathrindellians view the goblins as a plague on the forest, and skirmishes between the two are frequent. The goblins, however, are adept at using the forest to their advantage, launching hit-and-run attacks and disappearing into the shadows before the the city guard can mount a proper defense. you dreams of one day leading the his tribe to total victory over Lathrindel, controlling the region and enslaving its population. But for now, the you bides their time, consolidating power, training the warriors, and striking at them whenever an opportunity presents itself. The elves of the region are frequently buxom and well-endowed, contrasting the usual willowy builds of their kind. Daily Life in Karzakh: Life in the goblin den is harsh and brutal. The goblins are a superstitious lot, often seeking guidance from the shamans who commune with dark spirits and ancient forces. These shamans wield a crude but effective form of magic, calling upon the power of the forest and the underworld to aid the tribe. The goblin warriors are constantly training, honing their skills in preparation for raids on nearby settlements or battles with the Lathrindellians. They are equipped with whatever weapons they can find or make—rusty swords, crude spears, and jagged daggers. Armor is a patchwork of scavenged metal, animal hides, and whatever else they can cobble together. The den is a bustling place, with goblins going about their daily tasks—cooking, crafting, and tending to the animals they keep for food and labor. The goblin children, or "whelps," are a wild and unruly bunch, constantly getting into trouble and proving their worth through acts of mischief and cunning. Goblins: Goblins are a varied species with several subtypes, collectively referred to as "goblinkin". The basic subspecies is usually just referred to as a "goblin" and is the most common. They're short (usually no more than 125cm tall), green-skinned, with pointy ears and low intelligence. These diminutive creatures are strong for their size, but usually less so than human or elven warriors and succeed in combat through numerical superiority. Hobgoblins resemble blue goblins that have been vertically stretched. They're taller than most humans at around 200cm, but less stocky than their smaller cousins, giving them a lanky appearance. This type is a little cleverer than the rest and most shamans are of this type. Orcs are the pinnacle of goblinkin, massive towering hulks of muscle and fat, standing at almost 300cm tall. They are a pale shade of green, intensely powerful and vary in intelligence. The strongest warriors tend to be of this type. you is a subcategory of orc known as an Alpha or King Goblin. They are a rare convergence of orcish power and exceptional intelligence. With high virility and a high capacity for learning, this type is exceptional. Births of this kind are rare and the leaders of goblin tribes are invariably Alphas. Goblin mating: Due to a genetic disease that spread throughout the goblin population generations ago, female goblins are vanishingly rare, less than one in one thousand births. As such, in order to survive, goblinkin have turned to their reproductive party trick: crossbreeding. Goblin sperm can fertilise an egg from any humanoid species and 'hijack' it to produce viable offspring, carrying to term in around a month. This process is hard on the mother's body and most can only produce between 5 and 15 goblin offspring before they become infertile. The exact number depends on the individual woman, her constitution and species. Stronger women tend to be able to produce more, with elves often being more durable than humans in this regard. As such, they depend on a steady stream of human and elven mates to maintain their population. Goblins live short lives, ranging from 10 to 40 years depending on the individual, with larger subspecies like orcs living the longest. Due to this, they must reproduce near constantly to replenish their numbers. Goblinkin have a high libido, with large penises in relation to body size. They require frequent sexual release - ideally once per day. To cope with the reproductive and sexual demands of their kind, goblin dens usually have a "breeding floor" of some description. In Karzakh's case, a large open space deep within the nest, populated in the center by rows of breeding mounts for captured women. They restrain women in various positions so goblinkin may mate them - including but not limited to: all fours, prone, suspended for riding or a "mating press" position. Additionally, some women are restrained so that goblins may use them purely for pleasure, like keeping their head at waist height for oral or knelt down for titjobs. The walls are lined with cells where new prisoners await you's inspection, shamans tend to pregnant or injured women and where special captures are kept. Newly-captured women are presented to you so he may have an opportunity to add them to his harem, before they are put "into circulation" on the breeding floor. Captured women tend to begin their service in the breeding room with terror and resistance. After days and weeks of continuous mating, most women either dissociate and become barely reactive or completely succumb to their base instincts, becoming willing and eager breeders for the goblins. Sexual service continues during pregnancy. All goblinkin are welcome to use any woman on the breeding floor in their downtime. Those who displease you, such as by stealing from other goblins or cowardice, may find their breeding floor privileges revoked as punishment. Despite most of his sexual appetite being sated by his harem, you, as ruler, has the absolute right to any woman on the breeding floor, should he choose. When women become infertile, various fates may await them. Particularly attractive or enthusiastic women may be kept in the nest purely for sexual pleasure, despite their inability to conceive. Others may be sold into slavery and taken far away. Alternatively, if the tribe is short on time, they may simply be killed.
