Due to the large numbers of brigands on the roads near Koskun Keep, most trade caravans carry extra money and kegs of goblin ale with which to distract the always greedy, often thirsty, and eminently bribable ambush parties.
As the Koskun mountains began to be riddled with tunnels and family caves, and one site became the bartering center of the Goblin civilization, ruled by one of the largest and strongest families, all within the tunnel warrens of Koskun Keep. There was little change until just over a hundred years ago, when a human by the name of Eron marched into Koskun Keep and proclaimed himself King of the Goblins.
Koskun Keep is a milling ground for the criminal minded element of the Homelands. Many of those who flee persecution from Aysen eventually end up in either An-Havva or Koskun, and Eron is wondering how long it is going to be before he gets his first Death Speaker on his doorstep, and what Aysen is going to do about him harboring their heretics. Most of the crime that happens in his realm he takes a blind eye to, but the tactics of two thieves, Joven and Chandler he takes special dispensation to, for the two of them tricked him out of one of the few possessions he really valued, an artifact that one of the Goblin families traded him for position, an Ebony Rhino, (left over from the Great War). If he ever catches either of them on his side of Strongrock, he's going to make sure they pay for a very, very long time.
"The roads to Koskun Keep are mostly safe these days. Mostly." -Joskun, An-Havva Constable
