In the canyon beyond the Green, below the Tumble of the White are the caves of the Great Goblin Lords;
Marion,
Darien,
and,
Vodde
Each of the Goblin Lords leads a collection of Goblin tribes
On the Flat Where the Rivers Bend, beyond the Tumble of the White, are the villages of the Elves, the Dwarves, the Men, and the Half Men, who call their land, the Township of Gail
In the center of the Great Fields, beyond the Township of Gail, on the top of the Tall Hill are the ruins of the once mighty Goblin castle of Queen Axellexa the Excellent.
The ruins have become the base of operations for a vile Gnoll Warband and their Kobold underlings.
The folk of the Township of Gail sent their greatest heroes to vanquish the Gnolls and Kobolds, but their heroes never returned.
For several weeks the folk of the Township of Gail have been living in fear of nightly raids and are now on the verge of abandoning their villages.
Penny the Wise, an ugly but remarkably brave human girl, went on her own to the Goblins for help.
She used her Right Words, and a great basket of baked treats to convince Marion and Darien to agree to help the Township of Gail, but she could not sway the mind of Vodde (some have said that Marion and Darien took too many treats and left not enough for Vodde, but this cannot be proven).
Six Goblin Heroes from the tribes of Marion and Darien came forward
The Six Goblin Heroes were given two of keys to the Tomb of Axellexa the Excellent (Which is located deep in the Mysterious Dungeon), but not the third key. This key was in the hands of Vodde, and she would not give it up willingly. Because she was outvoted by the other two Goblin lords, Vodde promised that she would not interfere with the help the Goblins were providing to the Township of Gail. She sent her own champion, Ivvinne, to hide the third key somewhere in the Mysterious Dungeon, and then proclaimed that if the Goblin Heroes were meant to discover the Right Words, then they would find the key, access the Tomb, and speak to the Guardian of the Pool.
Ivvinne has not returned.
