The original purpose of the Dawn Way trade route was for prospectors exploiting the relics and mineral wealth of Q'barra, but the region saw a resurgence of fortune after the establishment of Whitecliff made it a useful trade route.The druidic folks who settled the area in the interim were of the Gatekeeper sect, and settled the area largely as a staging ground from which to launch expeditions into the jungles of Q'barra, to keep watch on the ruins dating back to the Age of Demons.In the end, I ran the goblinoids as just regular goblinoid tribes, but it would be a simple matter to spice things up by making them heirs of the Dhakaani Empire.</blockquote>
