Groytn
Grotyn, the land of 1000 skerries, is a rugged and rocky country located in a remote part of the Manastrife Union empire. The landscape of Grotyn is dominated by countless small rocky islands, known as skerries, that dot the coastal waters, forming a unique and challenging terrain to navigate. These skerries are connected by rope bridges or driftwood stairs, providing the only means of access between the islets.
The people of Grotyn are primarily goblins, who have adapted to their harsh environment with simplicity and aggression. They are known for their rough and tough nature, preferring action over words. While they may understand common language, they rarely participate in conversations with other races, and are more likely to resort to violence or hostility when faced with strangers. The goblins of Grotyn are self-sufficient and self-reliant, relying on their wits and resourcefulness to survive in their rocky homeland.
Grotyn is largely used by the Manastrife Union empire as early warning sentry towers, due to its strategic location. The goblin inhabitants of Grotyn are generally left to their own devices by the empire, as they are seen as a useful lookout and warning system against potential threats. However, they have little interest in participating in the affairs of the empire and prefer to keep to themselves.
The settlements in Grotyn are simple and practical, built from local materials and focused on functional efficiency rather than aesthetic appeal. They are sparse and impermenant. The goblins of Grotyn are skilled hunters and foragers, making use of the abundant sea life and other natural resources in their environment. They are also known for their prowess in combat, often using their natural agility and cunning to their advantage in battles and skirmishes.
a skerry is a type of small, rocky island or islet, usually found in coastal waters. Skerries are typically formed from exposed rocks or submerged reefs, and they can vary in size and shape. They are often characterized by rugged terrain, with rocky shores and sparse vegetation, and can be found in various parts of the world. Skerries can pose navigational challenges for ships due to their shallow waters and rocky nature, but they can also be important habitats for wildlife and have cultural significance in some regions.
