Road of the Yoke



A stretch of road in the Western Mountains, perhaps the busiest road. It derives its name from its common trade: slavery. The Orcs of Goroth'caul are often pulled into service by the Hobgoblins of Rith'tik. Via the processing station at Gath'nak, they are entered on this long road to the military hub of the Hobgoblin world. This long road is as dangerous for the traveling Mongrels as it is for would-be raiders and predators. Though usually poorly armed and undisciplined, the Orcs the hobgoblins ride with are still furious warriors and hold a kinship with Hobgoblins, too unknowing to know their standing and situation.

Vigilante forces and nameless raiders from faraway kingdoms looking to harm the Mongrel Empire will often place traps and ambushes along this road. Attacking the Hobgoblins directly woul certainly unleash a full fledged war. For now, this is what they settle for.

Glacieus has struck multiple bargains with the Hobgoblins generals to not harass this resource line. However, there are always rumors of dragon born warriors who ransack smaller caravans on these roads.
