History
By the year 189 PF the first Goblin city of Starhelm was built, called Golzect's Throne. It was led by a powerful and devout Ogre called Ogzegu. He named himself Ogzegu the Warmaster, and he became the first in a line of Warmasters that have helped shaped Goblin society since.
Davokk becomes the 2nd Warmaster and was sent to northern most section of the Vale, above Hollow's Point
Kragor becomes the 3rd Warmaster and was sent to the Southguard Plains
Dysar and Fyldraj, a husband and wife pair become the 4th and 5th Warmasters, sent to replace Davokk, who had been killed in action.
Sargut becomes the 6th Warmaster, after Kragor dies. He is the first to suggest taking Brightwave. Over the next 350 years, he had a series of successes and failures, taking and losing control of the Harbour Fortress a number of times.
Muktuk becomes the 7th Warmaster. He replaced Ogzegu as the leader of Golzect's throne, after Ogzegu's transformation into the first Oni (Troll).
Basselwip becomes the 8th Warmaster, replacing Dysar and Fyldraj, who are defeated at the end of the Vale War. While Fyldraj was killed, Dysar managed to escape, eventually becoming the 2nd Oni (Troll).
Zentog becomes the 9th Warmaster, after Muktuk dies, becoming the new leader of Golzect's Throne.
Navandark becomes the 10th Warmaster, as the Goblins recognize his extreme rise in magical power. He immediately demands to go to the North to set up his base of operations.
Melchinoopo becomes the 11th Warmaster, after Zentog is assassinated. He took over leadership of Golzect's Throne.
Taktar becomes the 12th Warmaster, and is the leader of Golzect's Throne after Melchinoopo resigned to exact his revenge on the Road of Opportunity. He is the first Bugbear to become a Warmaster as well as the first Bugbear to lead Golzect's Throne.
Cultural Significance
For Goblinkind it is a symbol of ultimate evolution and acknowledgement of attained authority.
For much of the rest of the continent it is a symbol of aggression and power, resulting in fear and caution.
