A Goblin standard
A Goblin Standard
A Goblin Standard is an object encountered in the realm of Gielinor, particularly located in the vicinity of Goblin settlements. Designated as a symbol of unity and identity among the Goblin tribes, this standard is often adorned with distinct colors and markings that represent the allegiance of the goblin clan. Typically, the standard is prominently displayed near goblin camps, poorly constructed structures, or outposts, further solidifying the goblin’s claim over the territory.
The design of the Goblin Standard is simplistic yet effective in conveying power; it usually comprises a tall pole with a triangular piece of fabric hanging from the top, catching the wind and fluttering proudly. The vibrant green color symbolizes their connection to nature and the swamps they inhabit while sometimes featuring crude insignias or clan-specific symbols, which may offer a glimpse into the history or culture of the clan it represents.
Interacting with the Goblin Standard may yield various interactions, including the option to ‘examine’, providing players with insight into its cultural significance. However, caution is advised when approaching goblin territories, as the inhabitants may not take kindly to outsiders who appear to threaten their way of life.
Beyond its aesthetic and symbolic importance, the Goblin Standard serves as a reminder of the ongoing strife and territorial disputes between the goblin clans and other factions in Gielinor, especially humans. The varying interpretations of these standards can also be a point of interest for both players and lore enthusiasts alike.
