Greystone

Located within the East Crag Mountains, only a few miles from Goldcliff, the vast city of Greystone is home to the goblinoid races. Built in the abandoned caverns of the dwarven mining efforts, more goblins, hobgoblins and bugbears live in this city than live in the rest of the continent combined. The city is often in conflict with the local dwarves over territory and resources.

The goblinoids of Greystone are oddly organized and hold a unique mindset compared to their savanna or jungle counter-parts: they respect intellect and only allow the most competent goblinoids to run the city-state. Unless a qualified heir is found or named, the changes of power in the city are usually bloody and rely on factions who back their candidate to seize the opportunity and fill the power vacuum before the competitors can. Those who win can look forward to maintaining power  for a generation or two and those who lose are often executed or exiled. Most goblinoids accept this and once the power vacuum is filled, the violence is quick to settle down and everyone moves on from there. The city is currently being lead by a young, new goblin king named Warchief Morflaac.
