Lawful Evil - Medium - Fey | |
Hobgoblins are the cruelest and most common of the Low Fey. Although technically Outsiders, they live on the Prime material in large numbers, their enclaves generally isolated. By the measures of more 'normal' races, the Hobgoblins, like all fey, are quite insane. Their motives and reasoning are just-so-subtly...off.
For example. Hobgoblins are quite formidable beings. If they formed armies and marched on their neighbors, they could establish nations and empires easily enough. But they do not. They don't care about such things, being content to live in small towns and thorps, a few dozen here, a few hundred there.... That is all that they are interested in. Hobgoblins are far more interested in their byzantine social lives and the torment of their slaves than they are about worrying over living space, to be honest. Hobgoblin Torturers are the lowest sort of 'respectable' Hobgoblins. They are menials and guards, in charge of the slave coffles and the work-houses. They have a rough 'blue-collar' attitude about them, but in Hobgoblin society Torturers are charged with the precious slaves, and as a result are well thought of. Torturers are indeed a rough and tumble breed, well used to inflicting suffering and breaking the will of slaves. They are skilled with whips and chains, and will Enslave anything they can get shackles upon. |
