The Maps of Myrist

Sony Online Entertainment · 2002

The goblin tribes invaded Kunark when they heard of the fall of the Iksarian Empire. Landing in the north, they quickly pushed themselves into the forests, hills, and every crack of the Frontier Mountains. They have established two city-mines, Nurga and Droga, and numerous outposts. They are divided into three warring tribes, which occasionally unite – Bloody Guts, Mountain Death, and Cleaving Tooth. They are resourceful and multiply quickly, giving them some advantage over the Sarnak and the Giants.

The Droga mine is a deep, expansive system of dark dirty tunnels and caverns, which spread out in every direction. Deep within the Droga mines rests Death Hollow, the lair of the Mountain Death Goblins and their chief, Rokgus.

The entrance to Droga is carved in the side of a solid rock mountain in the northeastern corner of the Frontier Mountains. Inside, there is a long tunnel called the Main Hall, fortified with rock and wooden gates, that leads deep into the mountainside. At the end of the Main Hall is the Outpost Droga, which is the hub of Droga's mining activity.

Droga is the larger of the two mines and used much more than the neighboring Nurga. The structures of Droga and Death Hollow are made mostly with rock and stone brick, while the few buildings that make up the Outpost Nurga are made of old, rotting wood.

Goblin slaves toil endlessly in the mines, while goblin "Whip-Crackers" keep them in line. The mine tunnels, shafts, and caverns are very roughly carved through the rock and dirt of the mountain. Old, rotting support beams help prevent some cave-ins, especially deep in the mines. In the Droga mines, some of the more used tunnels have stone block walls and supports.
