Discover Atheron

Explore Skitterfen

The goblin starting settlement of Atheron

Follow the clang of scrap metal and the smell of the Great Firepit into Skitterfen. Shacks lean over narrow paths, inventors test contraptions in the Explosive Yards, and traders hunt treasures in heaps of discarded parts. It’s a crowded, noisy place where the next clever idea might work just long enough to change your plans.

Through the warren

Find the Goblin King’s Shack beyond the Great Firepit, pass the scrap piles, and browse workshops built from whatever their makers could salvage. Mutant wolf stables stand near the ways out of town. Keep an eye on the Explosive Yards: invention is part of daily life here.
