Hobgoblins are a warlike people. It should be unsurprising then, that everything in the mountainous lands surrounding the hobgoblin fortress is geared to one end: Conquest. Locked in a three-way war with Daria and the Free Kingdoms, the hobgoblins of Izarren Lurrak constantly send raiding parties ever further into the depths of the labyrinthine passages beneath the citadel, in search of some buried weapon that they might use to overturn the fragile balance of power. Already they have chained some of the beasts of the deep to serve as war animals in their armies, however the depths fight back, and repelling incursions of the corpse plague and the deep creatures takes their focus away from the external battles, as they attempt to hold control of the territory their god charged them with.
