      |  The shattered remains of the ancient civilization of tinker    |
      |  gnomes resides to the southwest of Darkhaven, in the shadows   |
      |  of the Southern Mountains and along a forested path.           |
      |  Inhabiting the tunnels beneath the mountains are the gnome's   |
      |  perpetual enemies and one time students: the hobgoblins.       |
      |  Similar to goblins in many ways, they lack the intelligence    |
      |  and inventiveness of the gnomes. This is made up however in    |
      |  good measure with cunning and wicked ways. This filthy chaotic |
      |  race has made it their goal to rule the gnomes, and eventually |
      |  all of Despair itself.                                         |
