Chat (May 8th): Jason says "(Falcon's Hollow) was... near to the primary battles of the Goblinblood Wars, leading to a number of orphans finding themselves left in the small town."

D1 Crown of the Kobold King; pg 4: "Elara opened the orphanage ten years ago, hard on the heels of the Goblinblood War."

W1 Conquest of Bloodsworn Vale; pg 15: "...a worn tapestry depicting a fi ght from the Goblinblood Wars..."

Question #1: Is it Goblinblood Wars or Goblinblood War?

Question #2: Can you tell us anything more about this event in Golarian history?

Going by the map shown in the blog recently , bloodsworn vale and falcon's hollow are pretty far away from each other. (And I believe the analogy commonly used by James was Varisia=Pacific Northwest/Falcon's Hollow and other GM modules=Florida)

So that sounds like a pretty big war. Maybe a general uprising of goblinkind?

The tapestry from Bloodsworn doesn't state that the events depicted upon it happened in the Vale.

what were they uprising from? if it was slavery - who was enslaving them? If it was others uprising against them, how were they caught by the freaks in the first place? They can't get THAT many lucky rolls. was this what split the goblin nation into these competitive tribes?

We have two products that say wars as a plural and one that says war as a singular. Take that information as you will.

I take that information as "it may be an important part of an upcoming adventure" and/or "We haven't finished that part of the world's history yet" They both sound ok to me.

second - altho there are two with plural inferences, both of them are in the areas that the DMs would read, the one inference about singular war is from the gossip area of D1 I believe (I could be wrong about that - I'm at work so brain is mud). doea that mean that in reality its wars, but the human populace thinks it was just one? Or am I reading too far into things?

Some editors are more careful than others? ;)

In real life I have heard of the English Civil Wars referred to as The English Civil War and as the English Civil Wars.
