Goblin-town or Orchost[1] (Sindarin for Orc-fort) is an area within the Misty Mountains, in the northeastern region.
This underground "kingdom of the goblins" is a sprawling labyrinth of caverns, tunnels, and deep pits which ultimately lead to the throne room of the latest goblin-king. Tales tell of a mysterious cave that even goblins avoid. Remnants of dwarven work reminds of ancient times when this was the High Hold of Zudrâligal[2]. Booming drums rallying goblins for upcoming raids mingle with and faint cries from unfortunate prisoners and the constant chatter of upbeat goblins. Though recently Orcs set up camp, charged by Angmar to negotiate an alliance against the Free Peoples.
Throughout the caverns a plentiful mix of goblins, wargs, cave-trolls, and Orcs fiercely defends their "kingdom". At every level of this three-dimensional maze, and behind every corner new threats await the brave adventurers who dare explore their home. Topping that are stealth goblin soldiers attacking from behind.
