Odrun Fell

The Clattercage Roos is home to the Ribwicket Clan, a band of goblins that worship the Grizzt-Insteka, the Great Skitter-Gods. They believe that colossal insectoid beings that occasionally roam down from the greatclub are sent to test the worth of their people. The Murkrun Forest is far away from the enchanted chaos of the Shroud, but strange things still wander the edges, and sometimes enter into Murkrun. Over the years, the Ribwickets have scavenged chitin, fangs, and venom sacks from the wandering giant insects and have been incorporating them into their makeshift armor, rituals, and architecture. They host the "Skittergames" every year, where participants compete for the right to be called Beetlekin in a grand battle royal that involves several giant insects.

Nestled between moss-cracked boulders and sheltered beneath a canopy of ancient yews, Clattercage Roost sprawls like a giant insect’s nightmare of a village. The goblin camp is built from scavenged chitin plates and discarded bits of rusted armor, lashed together with gutstring and old webbing. Suspended cages crafted from ribbed beetle mandibles sway above the camp, clacking rhythmically in the wind—each one housing squawking crows, stolen trinkets, or unlucky travelers. A central totem looms over the clearing: a towering pile of molted carapaces crowned by the skull of a long-dead insectoid beast, painted in blood and fungus-powder. As night falls, the entire camp glows faintly from phosphorescent larvae embedded in the ground, creating the illusion of a giant, slumbering eye watching from below.
