The term goblinoid encompassed many races in the world of Ardel. Orcs, hobgoblins, kobolds,and of course, goblins. Among the last race Fooket was unique. He was only half goblin, the other half, was dragon. How did this strange combination come about? It came as a result of him. The great beast sat above a hill of bones on a thrown of blood, his name was Kaal Drorkor and his rule was absolute.
The red dragon had taken it into his head to use his goblinoid offspring to control their lesser brothers. They would serve him and as a renewable resource he didn't have to worry about losing a few here and there. Fooket, was one of Kaal Drorkor's children, the first born among them to be precise, and of them he was the most cunning. What the green skinned little beast lacked in bravery he made up for in pure animal cunning. His desire to avoid being injured made him a natural at stealth and statecraft, for a goblin. He had gathered a hoard and built a kingdom beneath an abandoned mine and was wise enough to devote it to the dragon.

Fire, stink, and stone were the only words one would need to use to understand the atmosphere of Huukec Mekuul. The goblins were nothing if not industrious creatures. Metals were not uncommon beneath the surface of Ardel, but along with their penchant for industry dwelt within the goblins an impatience. Their tools and inventions bore all the evidence of inspiration but no evidence of vision. Kaal Drorkor, the Dragon that ruled them often thought they may be what dwarves began as before they perfected the art of craftsmanship, but they were likely just a group of idiots.

It wasn't far from the truth. The vast majority of the goblin kingdom were little more intelligent than animals, but there was in place a delicate system designed to only educate those that the great red dragon wished. The deliberate lack of education in the populace made them far easier to control; that coupled with the manipulation of superstitions and false religions made them very pliable, indeed. Fooket and his other half-dragon brothers were bred to be the ruling class, and they along with select others were educated in the subjects pertinent to their roles. The dragon was nothing if not an intelligent manipulator. He knew how to keep control, complete and utter dominance, and he had it.
Fooket wandered along the tunnels between chambers as he moved toward the Dragon's den. It was deep, much deeper than he would have assumed a winged creature would want to be, but then dragons were different in many ways, and what did he know?
