Basic Information
It's a goat. A talking goat. Some of 'em got magic. Got any more questions for me, bub? Hmm? Frogs? Oh yeah, frogs scare the heck out of 'em. Shame too, Goatworld's full of 'em but the little fellas don't wanna spook anyone.
Woah! Some things are private, man. Mind your business, jeez.
Goat's eat a variety of foods. Actually, they eat anything really. Grass. Leaves. Swords. You name it, they'll devour it. This act of eating created the Deadlands. A wasteland North of the Iron-Goat Empire's lands, completely void of plant life. It is where young magi go to train, so that they don't damage infrastructure with magical accidents.
Additional Information
Some of the goats, referred to as "Runehorn's, have telekinetic abilities received from the planet's natural mana. Their horns have blue. glowing runes on them. Otherwise, they are ordinary goats with speech capabilities.
Civilization and Culture
Ahahwuh's Order
Named after King Ahahwuh, fourth of his name. Their soldiers wear knight's armour and live in castles.
The Iron-Goat Empire
Sworn enemies of Ahahwuh's Order. They value viciousness and savagery. They make use of 'Goatlems' metal constructs that they use in battle
The Goats of Goatworld have always existed. Scholars have theorised that their very existence began at the exact same time as Goatworld itself and is linked with the life-force of the planet, but there is no true way to be sure. Once Goatkind lived in harmony, building a great civilisation in the Livelands (now the Deadlands). But there's always a divide. That is the nature of Goatkind. Kaah, Queen of the Iron Goats believed in a conquered world, where the plant-life was burned and shredded and used for food, and Ahahwuh believed in sustainability and preserving nature for their children.
Ahahwuh's faction split from the others, becoming Ahahwuh's Order, dedicated to honor and sustainability. Meanwhile the Iron-Goat Empire kept devouring the plants of the land they lived in, killing it. Now the Iron-Goat Empire claims their lands, moving from place to place and devouring it as a mark for their Empire.

This is great! I love the humorous style you've written the article in. Is the Iron Goat Empire expected to triumph over Ahawuh's order?
Only time will tell. Ahahwuh's magi are still finding ways to counteract the Goatlems, they're a real problem in battle.
