[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9453671, member: 29398"] What eventually devolved into today's "Hobgoblins" once - hundreds of thousands of years ago - both built the world (and others) and ruled it, using a mix of post-modern hi-tech, magic, and psionics. Eventually they were infiltrated and their civilization brought down by the Githi, almost to the point of mutual annihilation. Dwarves and others then took over, then Elves and Humans arose, but the general level of civilization took a massive step backward. Ancient Hob tech shows up in my game fairly regularly. In a recent adventure (as in, just a few months ago real-time) they explored an ancient Hob spaceport at the north pole, and found a surprising amount of it still operational after about 48,500 years of disuse. Included in the still-operational bits were some cryo-chambers, and they intentionally woke up several of the place's original inhabitants in order to a) get some answers and b) get some things fixed that were the reason for the mission in the first place.
