Hobgoblin

Whoever in the tribe kills the chief becomes the chief. A chief ought to expect many contenders in his lifetime. The chief has the pick of whatever spoils s/he desires, and will always be found with the best gear.

Each tribe has a Firebringer who is the spiritual leader. Much of hobgoblin spirituality has to do with the nightly campfire, and it is the Firebringer’s duty to create and maintain the fire of his tribe. If there is a shaman or cleric of any kind, he is the firebringer for that tribe, or perhaps the Firebringer’s assistant.

Hobgoblins keep slaves for trading, eating, and low level labor. Slaves are distributed amongst the tribe, but are caged together and watched by the Keeper.

Hobgoblin tribes will war with one another on occasion, but usually stick to their own territories.
