Clangor

## Short

The Clangor Imperium is a country inhabited and ruled by Goblinoids. It is structured like a Military Junta that is fueled by the belief in the Burned Eyed God.

## Geography

### Capital

The Capital of Clangor is a city on the flat lands of Clangor known as Grashmog.

## Politics

### Ashed King

On top of the Hierarchy is the Ashed King. This is a Hobgoblin who has been born from the "Burning-Eyed God", referred to as an Ashen. Ashens are only born under the god if they are born with pure black skin and fiery amber eyes. There are only two of these Hobgoblins ever in existence. They are taken from their families by the Sons of the Burning-Eyed God. The Sons are a religious organization that controls all religious practices and the ascension to the throne of Clangor. The King is directly served by their Blood Oath'd. The Blood Oath'd are at least five Bonded Knights who serve the King Specifically.

When a new Ascension occurs all Goblinoids are gathered for the "Huugec Ghar" (Glory March), which is basically a nationwide call to war to raid a nearby country. Thousands are expected to die but it is always celebrated and an acceptable cause to die for. It is said that any Goblin that dies in the Huugec Ghar is immediately given high ranks in Burning-Eyed God's grand army in the afterlife, so death is not an issue for the Goblins. The success of the Huugec Ghar is not based on land obtained, but rather on the pillaged loot, hostages, and renown acquired. It is never expected for the new Ashed King to actually obtain new land, just to collect their bounty and renown. The level of success is traditionally seen as a prophecy of what success will come of this new Imperator's reign.

### Archbishop

The second in the hierarchy is the Archbishop of the Clangor Pantheon. They are forbidden from ever sitting on the Ashed Throne, their only duty is to advise the King and give orders from the King. They also issue the church's official actions. But no matter how powerful the Archbishop is they are second in the church to the king. The King is the embodiment of the Burning-Eyed God on Oma. The Archbishop is chosen every 10 years by the council of Bishops in Grashmog.

### The Generals

The third in the hierarchy is a council of Generals, with a total of ten. A new one is added for each new domain added to the Imperium. A General only has their status and position based on the army that follows them. All Generals are sworn to the Ashen throne and the King who sits upon it, no matter what. To defy the King is to defy their god, so it's seen as heresy to disobey. After this, the hierarchy is just a militaristic hierarchy.

This is the military breakdown:

* 1 Hobgoblin General has 10 Hobgoblin Warlords
* 1 Hobgoblin Warlord has 10 Hobgoblin Commanders
* 1 Hobgoblin Commander has 10 Hobgoblin Captains
* 1 Hobgoblin Captain has 30 Hobgoblins = Hobgoblin Cohort
* 1 Hobgoblin Warlord has 10 Goblin Commanders
* 1 Goblin Commander has 10 Goblin Bosses
* 1 Goblin Boss has 50 Goblins = Goblin horde
* 1 Hobgoblin Warlord has 5 Bugbear Chiefs
* 1 Bugbear Chief has 25 Bugbears = Bugbear Tribe

Everyone inside the Army is known as “The Host”.

### Law

There is a strict hierarchy in Clangor. This is known as “The Branch”. The only true citizens in the country are goblinoids. Any non-Goblinoids such as beast races like Tabaxi or Tiefling are considered civilians. However, any normal humanoids like Dwarves, Halflings, gnomes, and humans are considered to be less than equal usually. This resentment comes from the goblinoids feeling as if they had been betrayed by the humanoids when the Malison Triarchy had exiled all goblinoids from their home. Orcs, on the other hand, are the greatest rivals of the Goblinoids. When the people of Clangor were forced to flee north they pushed out many Orcs from their homes.

All Goblinoids in Clangor are a part of the military but not all of the Goblinoids are in the standing military at any single moment.

## Population

### Races and Ethnicities

In the country, the traditional citizen hierarchy is:

1. Black Hobgoblins
2. Blue Hobgoblins
3. Red Hobgoblins
4. Goblins
5. Bugbears
6. Lesser Goblinoids.

#### Blue Hobgoblins

Blue Hobgoblins are born 1 every 500 Hobgoblins. These are Hobgoblins who were born with an innate connection to the Weave. This is physically represented by the color change in their skin. This doesn't mean that only blue Hobgoblins can connect to the Weave it just means that they tend to be much more gifted with magic. They more commonly take high ranks in the Academy of Devastation. Blue hobgoblins also have higher status in any social situation in Clangor.

## Organizations

### Academy of Devastation

The Academy of Devastation is the only school of Magic in Clangor offered to the Goblins. It teaches and trains Devastators who are magical support in the army. The Academy specializes in Evocation magic and is responsible for a few extra powerful spells of devastating capabilities.

The academy's colors are known by all warriors of Clangor. The Black and Grey robes trimmed with Bronze strike fear in many. But the sight of the Eclipse Sunstones
