Gathering Stone

The Gathering Stone is an enormous shale obelisk in the northern plains of Darguun. As it's name implies, it has historically acted as a gathering point for the goblinoids.   Following the fall of the Dhakaani Empire, the Gathering Stone was used by the various smaller goblinoid tribes to communicate and trade with each other. Over time, these tribes assembled and joined together, eventually stabilizing and forming the Ghaal'dar Clans.   In the modern day, it acts like an enormous marketplace, with any number of things being bought and sold. At any time, the obelisk is surrounded by tents, hovels and small camps, acting like a gigantic, permanent campsite. Following the rise of Darguun, House Deneith have set up a permanent enclave near the obelisk, where the goblinoids are recruited and trained by the house for mercenary work.   The obelisk is tended to by druids of the Kurmaac clan, who maintain both the Gathering Stone itself and also the ancient traditions that surround it. In particular, they observe a tradition of "blind forum", where disputes are settled by Kurmaac elder who listen to claims and then organise contests based on what they have been told.
