Don Sewer Goblins

Although not as much of a threat as they one were, the sewer goblins are still a dangerous, and sometimes mutated, civilization that lives in the sewer system of the Kingdom of Don.

History
Under the streets of the Kingdom of Don was once a large nest of goblins that resided in the sewers. The goblin people originally lived in the forest nearby, but were easily hunted by predators. In desperate need of a home, they took refuge in the sewers under the castle of don. The goblins made the once neat and organized sewer system into a massive maze of complex and winding tunnels. The Sewers provided a dark sanctuary for goblins to inhabit, with many holes and crevasses to hide in.

With their new compound secured, the goblins found themselves in need of a reliable food source. As they got more desperate,  they resorted to hunting the citizens of Don. Soon, people began to go missing, being last seen walking the streets at dark. In response to these attacks, the king ordered a purge. As the goblin population was in the thousands by now and, due to the tight areas the goblins inhabited, the best solution was a bio-weapon that was only to affect goblins. The disease was originally planned to kill the goblin and nothing more, but ended up being much more brutal. The pathogen would paralyze those subjected, rendering them unable to move, but still alive. The limbs of the victims began to rot over time, and finally, when nothing but an unrecognizable, decomposing torso was left, did the victim succumb to infection. The virus was unable to be altered, and, because of the urgent need for a solution, it was released into the sewers.

The next few weeks were horrific. Moans of pain echoed from the street runoffs and the smell of rotten flesh filled the kingdom, a smell that would linger in the air for the next few years. A cleaning crew was needed to clear the sewers and, while exploring the chasm, many startling discoveries were made. The goblins were far more advanced than initially thought. Having weapons that might have had catastrophic effects if unleashed upon the kingdom. It seemed that the goblins had planned an attack on the kingdom.

Even after the disease wiped out most of the goblins some say there are still some survivors, horrifically rotted, deformed, and seething with vengeance.
