The GM could just as easily made it a large Goblin territory, or whatever else.I struggle to take this seriously: the reason for having events in our RPGing that don't speak to player-authored dramatic needs for PCs is because it's more realistic?The reason there isn't a person alive who has every circumstance they encounter meet some sort of personal dramatic need is because real people, not being characters in fictions, don't have dramatic needs. That said, most people I know and deal with have more in their day-to-day life that speaks to their personal concerns and connections then seems to be the case in the typical "simulationist" RPG of the sort you seem to be describing.</blockquote>
