Whispering Goblins
The @Sardorian Army cleared out the roving orc tribes and goblin hordes from most of the @Barony of Sardoria two decades ago, let by @Lord Geralle Salorenth, @Lord Byrd Normardi, and @Sir Tomerick. Goblins in the area have been scarce, save for a small tribe in the @The Whispering Downs. That is until recently when some blue goblins from a distant land started showing up in the fields, leading excursions and testing defenses. These @Whispering Goblin seem more coordinated and dangerous. They have been scouting the region and gathering intelligence.
The whispering goblins secretly serve @Gul the Marked, though no one in Sardoria know this yet. The blue whispering goblins have psionic abilities and they have been drawn to the area because they have sensed the shifting tides and want to strike while Drakafell’s defenses will be spread thin with other assaults.
