The Darque Goblins can be mischievous. They work hard to amass wealth. They are a mischievous and enigmatic race, thriving in the shadows of Hizsen’s dense forests. Small and wiry, their slender frames and sharp agility make them masters of stealth and survival. Their bat-like ears, tipped with a faintly glowing edge, help them detect the faintest of sounds, while their pale, fleshy skin gives them a spectral, almost otherworldly appearance. They have clawed hands and feet, ideal for scaling trees or gripping weapons with precision.
Their faces are marked by small, piercing beady eyes that glimmer like dark gemstones, betraying their sharp intellect and keen observation skills. A tuft of jet-black hair crowns their heads, often styled into chaotic spikes or sleek strands that enhance their wild charm. Their sharp, pointed teeth are both a testament to their carnivorous diet and a warning to those who dare underestimate them. Despite their modest stature, Darque Goblins possess an aura of uncanny power, bolstered by their knack for enchantments and their ability to blend seamlessly into their surroundings. They are as dangerous as they are cunning, with a sly sense of humor that often disarms their foes.
Faction
The Darque Goblins are a vital part of the Furnace faction, an alliance forged in the aftermath of betrayal and exile. After being denied aid by the Kingdom of Baruch, the Darque Goblins, alongside the Gamnod Humans and Drone Elves, formed the Blade Army to reclaim what they believed was rightfully theirs. Known for their ruthlessness and cunning, the Goblins fight not with brute strength, but with deception, sabotage, and guerrilla warfare. They serve as the spies, assassins, and dark enchanters of the Furnace, thriving in the shadows where their enemies least expect them.
Crafts
The Darque Goblins are masters of blending into their environment, using both natural and magical methods to become nearly invisible. Their camouflage abilities allow them to shift their skin tones like a chameleon, making them ideal scouts and ambushers.
Beyond their stealth, they wield dark enchantments, crafting cursed artifacts, illusionary spells, and hexes that weaken and confuse their enemies. These enchantments are infused into weapons, armor, and even their own bodies, allowing them to vanish, summon shadows, or paralyze opponents with a single touch. Whether creating deadly poisons, enchanted daggers, or mind-altering illusions, the Darque Goblins' magic is feared as much as their cunning.
Classes
Hunter: Masters of tracking and ambush, Darque Goblin Hunters use their keen senses and camouflage to stalk prey undetected. Whether hunting for food or eliminating enemies, they strike with precision, using ranged weapons like throwing stars and poison-tipped arrows.
Healer: Unlike traditional healers, Darque Goblin Healers use herbal remedies and dark enchantments to restore health and mend wounds. Some wield forbidden magic, capable of siphoning life from enemies to heal allies, making them unpredictable forces in battle.
Warrior: Fierce and relentless, Darque Goblin Warriors favor brute strength over strategy, wielding crude yet deadly weapons to overpower foes. Their small size makes them deceptively fast, dodging attacks while delivering devastating blows with their enchanted blades.
Ranger: Blending speed and precision, Darque Goblin Rangers are expert marksmen who use their environment to their advantage. Their ability to blend into their surroundings allows them to strike from a distance, utilizing bows, crossbows, and thrown weapons to wear down enemies before they ever see them coming.
Rogue: Perhaps the most feared among them, Darque Goblin Rogues are silent assassins, skilled in infiltration and subterfuge. They move unseen, strike from the shadows, and disappear without a trace, often using enchantments to enhance their stealth or create illusions to deceive their enemies.

Special Items
Shadow Cloak of Hizsen: A relic of the Darque Goblin elite, this enchanted cloak allows its wearer to fade into the darkness, becoming almost invisible when standing still or moving slowly. Woven from the shadows of the Great Northern Crater, the cloak grants unparalleled stealth, muffling footsteps and distorting the perception of those nearby. It is said that only those truly attuned to the art of deception can harness its full potential. However, prolonged use drains the wearer’s stamina, requiring them to master the art of striking swiftly and vanishing before they tire.
Venomous Claw Blades: A toxin brewed in the Goblins' hidden lairs, these curved daggers are both weapons and poison carriers. A single scratch can cause hallucinations, paralysis, or slow-burning agony, depending on the alchemical mixture imbued in the blades. Used by assassins, rogues, and warriors, the claws are deadly in close combat, allowing swift, precise strikes that weaken even the strongest foes. However, only a skilled wielder can avoid poisoning themselves in battle.
Chameleon Orb: A rare artifact among Darque Goblins, the Chameleon Orb allows its user to mimic their surroundings, blending into the environment like a living shadow. Unlike the Shadow Cloak of Hizsen, this orb grants instant camouflage, making the wearer nearly undetectable for short bursts of time. However, the Orb is unstable—prolonged use can cause disorienting aftereffects, including blurred vision and momentary distortions of the Goblin’s own body. Only the most daring spies and thieves carry this orb, knowing that while it offers a powerful advantage, it comes at a dangerous cost.
