## History

Kiss-Burn was an unlucky goblin. He was always large for his kind, which caused his wagon to lag behind the rest of the caravan. He was so slow that no goblin respected him, but Kiss-Burn's luck turned around when he found a large meteor in the middle of the desert. With its dust he painted his wagon and the rest of the rock he put in the back. The stardust made his wagon go faster than any goblin had ever gone before, and he quickly rose to the top of his caravan. Rumours of this warlord who went faster than fast reached many of the other caravans, and many gobos joined his ranks to ride in his glory. So large did his host become that the were able to destroy entire armadas of Tri-fan Galleons with little effort.

When Kiss-Burn had acquired enough wealth he took his meteor to the blacksmiths of Scorch Gate, who turned the star metal inside into a beautiful mask that fitted perfectly on Kiss-Burn's face. Kiss-Burn had designed the masked as a symbol of his power, but the star metal had unknowingly to him bestowed his mask with a powerful ability. It was only when the caravan travelled through a sandstorm that the mask's true power showed itself to Kiss-Burn. At first he had thought that they would be able to safely travel through the storm, but the winds of this storm were especially violent and several of his wagons were quickly lifted into the air by its currents. Then Kiss-Burn's own wagon began to lift. With a roar did Kiss-Burn curse himself and the storm and he hit his head on the steering wheel. He had surrendered himself to his cruelly fate, but too his surprise was he still alive after a few seconds. Then some of his fellow goblins began to scream at him to look outside the wagon. He and the other goblins were gently floating upward instead of being trashed around by the storm. He quickly jumped out of his wagon, and with the help of the others he pulled down both his own and the other wagons from the cart. The goblins thought they just got lucky, until they saw a sand shark being violently lifted and trashed by the storm, only for it to slow down once it came within 20 meters of them.

Eventually Kiss-Burn had collected a water tank which was large enough to hydrate Scorch Gate. This was a status of his power, but it drawn the attention of the pirate khan Pepee Foecutter. Foecutter and his fleet sailed out to meet Kiss-Burn in the field. From dusk to dawn did they fight, with Kiss-Burn singlehandedly taking on two ships at the same time with the help of his mask. The fight seemed in favour of the goblins until Foecutter himself began to fight with Kiss-Burns wagon. Every harpoon that Foecutter shot at the goblin was slowed down and then either dodged or returned to sender. Until Foecutter came up with a risky strategy. He shot a final harpoon at the goblin, who simply slowed down time and rode out of the way. Kiss-Burn laughed and waggled his finger, asking the pirate khan if he thought that show would have ever hit in the first place? But Foecutter just smirked, and told him that he was never aiming for the goblin. Foecutter might not been able to see it, but he knew that behind his mask Kiss-Burn was terrified. The harpooned hit its true mark, the water tank, and the water came rushing out with such violance that Kiss-Burn's mask wasn't able to recharge in time. Kiss-Burn drowned and died an unceremonious death that day. Having lost their target the pirates quickly left the battle fields, while the other goblins quickly rode out to find a new source of water before they died from dehydration. Kiss-Burn and his masks were lost to the sands of time, only sporadically showing up in the hands of a goblin warlord who believes himself to be as great as the late Kiss-burn. Rare are those goblins who are great enough (in both might and in size) to actually wear the chrome mask, but when one chances upon the mask the Coarse Sea is sure to take notice.
