Huh, so that's why Tira was tapping her feet impatiently in the collab...

Also, @Antarctic Termite, upon further consideration, I think Toun would make the prudent move of keeping an eye on the godkiller. Feel free to crunch the droningbird if Tira doesn't like it.

Why can't we all just get along. We just had a war, no need to ignite any feuds. Amartía forgave Lif the moment he beheaded him.

B-but heterodox is the new orthodox. Why? Because we live in post-normal times that's why, you damn postmodernist. Get with the times. I'm gettin' the trans-modernist gang and we gonna beat yup.

So anyway, all those attempting to purge what used to be heresy are now the heretics and must themselves be purged.

How can goblins have higher populations than Hain if they live in a smaller area and have less mentions of them having farming? Just curious, in case I am missing something.

Surprise surprise, I am not dead yet.

Osveril is still in his growing pains, so don't be afraid if his thoughts are barely coherent. They should get better in time which could mean they will become completely incoherent, but well, pure is pure, isn't it?.

Rovaick do have farming (that was part of what Toun gave them) and goblins breed like rats. However, I do agree that hain should probably have a higher population, simply due to their global presence. (Goblins also have a higher mortality rate than hain, which is balanced by their excessive breeding.)

I was under the impression that goblins were spreading quickly. Yorum has many goblin slaves and they are the types to run out into the wild blue yonder. However, if it makes more sense for hain to be more populous still, I can change the wiki to reflect that.

If nothing else, the rate of goblin population growth per individual is certainly higher than hain. Goblins may overtake hain in numbers eventually.

I was not aware that Yorum had any significant quantity of goblin slaves. We haven't (to my knowledge) canonized the spread of sizeable populations of Rovaick far from the Ironhearts (there are were a lot in Xerxes, but that's basically in the foothills). That said, it makes sense for Rovaick to start spreading outwards (mostly just those with Sularn's Oath, though, since the others are trapped inside the mountains in fear of being attacked by White Giants).

Anyway, enslaving significant quantities of goblins and shipping them to Yorum would be a significant logistical endeavour and probably one with notable societal impact. Doable, but not trivial.

Slaves notwithstanding, I agree that it is likely that goblin populations will at some point overtake that of the other races.



Also, @Rtron, is the city of Xerxes (or what's left of it) on Galbar or in the Realm of Madness?

Rovaick have a small canonised presence in Yorum. The tedar beastmaster mercenary that was with the attacking army against Loralom is probably the only written example, but they're there.

Remember that the northern end and tip of the ironhearts bends out west quite a ways. They don't have to hoof it or sail all the way around the white ocean. The alternative overland route is past the steppes and the jungle tree. While that presents its own dangers, it sets a precedent for a slave trading route via the humans that live in the steppe and the tree.

Goblin slaves in Loralom in particular were present on the kingdom info sheet I made way back when Loralom was first canonised. I wouldn't call them a 'significant' quantity as most of the slaves are still hain, but they are the second most common race in Loralom's slave population. In the entire Loralom city state, there would be no more than seven thousand goblins right now, which isn't a lot compared to the overall population.

@Muttonhawk Ah, I had forgotten you had written that info sheet. Reasonable enough, then. Although, globally, most of the rovaick population is still concentrated around the Ironhearts.

@Lugubrious, Good to see you, mate. Aside from all the shenanigans on Galbar, you may have noticed that we've had a change of management.

Also, Slough had a kid. Hope you don't mind.

Meh, it happens.

Nice to see you again--and crazy to think how long it's been since we first met. Seven years? Eight?
