Itmox (Goblin Town)

The city of Itmox is a jungle infested goblin city state found in eastern magith. The city itself is made of stone structures and giant ape skulls. The city boasts many natural protections; it is surrounded by a natural moat and the jungle provides ample protection from intruders. Even inside, the many bogs and swamps make any attack difficult. The city serves as a hub for goblin traders and adventurers that explore the plains and forests of the northern garithan region.
Most feudal lords are subservient to the city of Itmox mostly because of the city’s safety which attracts many, and because of its unusually high number of giants, who compose the city’s elite warrior caste (and construction material).
The city itself is a biological mystery as the northern area of Magith is essentially forests and open fields, while the city of Itmox is on a small island where vegetation is particularly lush and reminiscent of the southern jungles of the region. 
During the Magithtanese War, the city was besieged by the Dalmer, who detonated a Obfuscation Device in the city. Ever since, the city is infested with the undead corpses of the Goblins who attack anything living that cross into its borders. 
== History ==
According to stone carvings the city was erected after a feud between giant apes, an event they called the Pithicomachy. 
Itmox was a center for nesting great apes, which the goblins revered as gods. It is supposed that their presence and diet (ie. the seeds found in their dung) caused the jungle plants to grow on the island. The bones and skulls were the basis of much of the architecture that compose the goblin town. It is unclear if Itmox was a goblin settlement or an ape nesting ground, or if they both arrived at the same time. 
As a result of giant apes dying outside the city walls, the goblins influence grew strong in the northeastern with skull settlements creating a network of trading posts in Gladenlung, including some fortresses such as the Swirl. 
The city is mostly known for its many great apes, nicknamed the lords of Itmox. 
== Culture ==
When compared to other goblin towns, Itmox has a distinctive religious feel with carved bone decorations and ornate stone pillars recounting adventures with the apes, and gigantic fruit baskets as offerings in front of every home. the goblin homes are also particular as they are decorated with a form of wallpaper. The wallpaper is made with arsenic to kill insects and for the vivid colors it produces. This made infant mortality very common in the city, to the point that baby farms were a common site. 
Itmox has dozens of fruit markets, and is well supplied by the many plantations the goblins maintain in the fields. their crops are unusually hearty, courtesy of the ape dung which they jealously hoard. as a result very little food is imported by the city, and they export it via balloon to cantor mostly over the Salvas mountain range. They have vast farmlands and strictly hoard giant ape dung for their crops.
The goblins of Itmox, in their religious fervor are also obsessed with finding artifacts of their deities. they often send excavation parties to find remains of long deceased giant apes. as a result they often dig up ancient creatures buried in the soil. The city has dinosaur exhibits just about everywhere, and the goblins are fascinated by the giant lizard bones they find, and have developed an affinity for the Cantor lizard men culture.
