Races of Cimmeria: Goblins Part 4

Common Deities

Most goblins keep to the animalistic Goblin pantheon. The animals have syncretic equivalents with the Titans of Greek mythology. A full list of the animals and their matching gods is provided in a side bar. While many goblins wish for the return of their gods, most have given up hope of such an event occurring. The old ways are kept within the Hobgoblin Lands, but the population within Cimmeria proper has largely abandoned the Goblin pantheon for that of the Olympians. Popular gods within the Olympian pantheon include Hermes and Hecate due to their duplicitous natures that reward sly and cunning behavior.

Goblin Animalistic Gods and their Titan Equivalents

Lion = Cronus
Seagull = Oceanus
Crayfish = Tethys
Giraffe = Hyperion
Eagle = Theia
Tree = Coeus
Lizard = Phoebe
Ants = Themis
Ram = Crius
Wolf = Iapetus
Phoenix = Helios
Owl = Selene
Rooster = Eos
Duck = Leto
Quail = Asteria
Ox = Atlas
Gorilla = Menoetius
Spider = Prometheus
Fly = Epimetheus
Frog = Astraeus
Serpent = Pallas
Shapeshifter = Perses

Place in Adventuring

Goblins’ marginal position in Cimmerian society often forces them into careers of theft and raiding. Their natural cunning and talent for stealth reinforces these behaviors. Unfortunately living outside of society and committing crimes puts goblins on the wrong side of the law. Adventurers often target goblins due to their notorious reputation for mischief and thievery. Goblins who become adventurers themselves possess a remarkable aptitude for the fighter, rogue, wizard, and alchemist classes. Their cunning nature and natural affinity for manipulation make them formidable opponents in these fields. This combination of skills makes goblins both intriguing adversaries and potential allies, depending on how one approaches them in the quest for adventure.

Hello,

Welcome to the GoCorral website! I’m Isaac Shaker and this is a place for me to write about D&D and occasionally other topics. I host a podcast called Setting the Stage that interviews different DMs about their campaigns. I’m currently focused on completing the Cimmeria campaign setting and turning it into a book.

77 – KPop DnD Hunters (Dan and Idols of the Neon Dark) – Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Dan talked with me about his Kickstarter campaign, Idols of the Neon Dark. It's a D&D 5e supplement that tries to bring the fun and atmosphere of K-pop to Dungeons and Dragons. The media frenzy around KPop Demon Hunters inspired Dan to create a product based on the musical genre that his young daughters could enjoy with him.Idols of the Neon Dark contains an Idol character class to represent the teamwork and coordination of K-pop groups. Alongside the Idol class there's a setting called Lumenica City. The city is an undeground haven of neon lights, skyscrapers, and music. There's campaign for levels 1-6 and a bunch of side adventures as well to place within Lumenica City or your setting of choice.You can support Idols of the Neon Dark on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wrenegade-dan/k-pop-5e-hunters-shadows-of-the-neon-darkIdols of the Neon Dark Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/SREMffsEGWIdols of the Neon Dark Playtest Materials: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CqyORb1gD6blKjSvRlPFzO-n9cj6QI68?usp=drive_linkPAX East Playtest Schedule.
