Heikkon

A kingdom of Hobgoblins and Goblins near central Rythalion, Heikkon used to be war-like and feared among its neighbors. When people were hearing of Heikkon and its warlord rulers they spat and loathed its name. But since King Gevdai was crowned and became Heikkon’s ruler, the kingdom’s disposition changed. Heikkon is now starting to get respect and that is because King Gevdai brought an end to senseless wars and raids. Instead he focused on problems inside Heikkon, establishing more rights for other races besides Hobgoblins while also trying to mend relations with neighbor countries. He is succeeding thus far.

Under King Gevdai’s rule, Heikkon is more peaceful and welcoming now but not as powerful and fierce as before. Many don’t like the King and his peaceful and weak ways, as some call them, and try to undermine him. Some even outright oppose him, calling him the False King and trying to weaken his rule by any means necessary. One of the most notable outspoken and perhaps the most determined one is Drowsca the  Opposer  ; a man who is a veteran and a retired soldier that followed Gevdai’s late father loyally. However, Gevdai has more than enough supporters that believe this new path Heikkon follows is best. Now that Heikkon is a better place, more people of other races visit and also settle.

Of course, while relatively benevolent, Gevdai is still a king, and there are some that believe that he keeps the realm's riches for himself and his royals while he could give more to the people who are more deserving. These views are further supported by people like Drowsca in order to put more pressure in the king. Of course Drowsca does not believe that to be true and is in fact supportive of the idea of a king, just not the current one.

People in Heikkon speak Heikkonar, a language that is a mix of Common and Goblin.
