Cave goblin (Dorgesh-Kaan)
The Cave Goblins of Dorgesh-Kaan are a unique race of goblins found primarily in the Dorgesh-Kaan city, which is situated beneath the surface of Gielinor. These goblins are distinguished from their surface counterparts by their advanced technology, intelligence, and culture. Unlike other goblin tribes, Cave Goblins have developed a complex society, complete with their own language, customs, and governance.
Cave Goblins are primarily known for their mining skills and ability to work with ores and gemstones. This expertise allows them to craft various items, including weapons and jewelry, which can be of great interest to adventurers. Due to their affinity for mining, they are often found in areas rich in minerals and ores, such as the Dorgesh-Kaan mine.
The Dorgesh-Kaan city itself is an intricate labyrinth of tunnels and chambers, showcasing the rich history and culture of the Cave Goblins. The city serves as a base for the faction known as the Cave Goblins, who engage in various activities including trade, festivities, and the defense of their territory against threats such as the dark forces of the Shadow Realm.
Players who wish to interact with the Cave Goblins can seek out their leader, the King of the Dorgesh-Kaan. Quests involving the Cave Goblins often delve into their history and the relationship they share with other races, including a hostile past with the surface goblins. The “The Lost Tribe” quest, for example, introduces players to the rich lore of the Cave Goblins, explaining their plight and their search for a lost tribe.
Engaging with Cave Goblins can provide players opportunities to earn unique rewards, including access to special items or actions that reflect the importance of their culture. The Cave Goblins also have their own form of currency, allowing players to trade items within their community, further enhancing the immersive experience of their society.
Additionally, Cave Goblins possess unique quest-related tasks and lore-related dialogue that enriches the player’s understanding of Gielinor and its diverse inhabitants. This allows players to better connect with the Cave Goblins’ objectives and struggles throughout the diverse quests associated with them.
Overall, the Cave Goblins of Dorgesh-Kaan represent a fascinating aspect of Old School RuneScape’s rich tapestry of characters and lore, offering players an opportunity to explore a unique goblin culture while engaging in economic activities, quests, and combat within their underground city.
