"Is the text from a human written, historical  standpoint?If so, it is entirely concievable that the majority of the territory beyond the fiendlands is unknown to them, especially those that border near other realms.  I was looking over the text when I made my suggestion.My point was thus:    Because the races in the fiendlands are mixed,  it has been extremely difficult for a purebred race to survive there. Thus the hobgoblins, after years of trying to survive against years of opposition, are now forced to flee into the Kessel or be wiped out. This explains a sudden influx of what esentially would be a new race/threat suddenly appearing in an ongoing campaign."You could place a really pure-blood empire in the isles though, as its where the separatists hang out, ie Garam´Shar (orcs) and the elves of the Endless Ocean. "Most of the pure-blood empires on the isles are already documented. It would be weird to have another suddenly spring up. also that role is already filled by the Garam' Shar,  if we are going to add a new race it should fill a new role within the campaign. That said, there is no reason not to apply Imperialus's idea assuming that the Hobgoblins are another race of Orc lead by a newly arrived charismatic leader (perhaps even an Orc Patron)who is now trying to spread his power in the Kessel. (although, that's similar to what the fiends have been attempting for years).  "You could have one or a few exceptions to the rule, but they should stay exceptions and with a clear statement about their uniqueness..."Thats kind of why I like the idea of the pure-breds being homeless refugees attempting to preserve their lineage in a very mixed world. It creates motivation, reason for conflict, and explains their sudden appearance.</blockquote>
