Thistletop Goblins

Once the most powerful tribe in western Varisia, the Thistletop goblins took their name from the ruins they called home, which allowed them to maintain their powerful position. Led by Chief Ripnugget, the tribe had long held the island fortress of Thistletop and the nearby forests of Nettlewood. In 4710 AR, an aasimar cleric of Lamashtu named Nualia Tobyn united the four other local goblin tribes under the Thistletop tribe and plotted to invade and destroy the nearby town of Sandpoint. Unfortunately for the tribe and its leadership, their plans were foiled when their stronghold was raided by The Second Party, wiping out the Thistletop goblins and the remainder of the Birdcruncher tribe.
