Gloomreach

Overview

**Gloomreach** is the last surviving goblin city, hidden beneath the mountains near Ironspine. Once a proud people, the goblins now live in subjugation, mining ore for their orc overlords. In exchange, the orcs burn the bodies of their dead — preventing outbreaks of the Corpse Plague that once annihilated their kin in **Gloomdeep**. Its stone galleries echo with the clang of picks, the groans of laborers, and the watchful steps of orc overseers.

Features

- **Underground Avenues** – Winding tunnels and vaults carved with ancient goblin craft.

- **The Ore Veins** – Endless shafts where goblins mine iron and other metals for Ironspine.

- **Funerary Fires** – Orc pyres consuming goblin corpses, a grim necessity against the Plague.

- **Slave Quarters** – Cramped warrens where goblins live under harsh conditions.

Dangers

- **Collapsed Mines** – Weak tunnels from centuries of over-mining.

- **Goblin Desperation** – Riots and rebellion simmer beneath the surface.

- **Plague Fear** – Even whispers of the Corpse Plague spark terror among goblins and orcs alike.

Role in the World

- The last remnant of goblin civilization, kept alive by necessity.

- A fragile alliance with orcs, built on the promise of plague prevention.

- A powder keg of resentment — goblins remember their glory and dream of freedom, even as they toil under orc rule.
