Goblin Kings

Goblin Kings are an entity that occasionaly arises among Goblins and typically lead the species. They lead rampages against the other species of the world, and are thus a common excuse used for suppressing and exterminating Goblins.

Background

Goblin Kings emerge every few centuries at most and each time herald destruction and death without fail. They appear to be a naturally occurring phenomenon, a rare individual born out of the Goblin population that has immeasurable talent, much like Goblin Chieftains and Goblin Lords. However, while Chieftains and Lords can be reasoned with, Goblin Kings are different.

Each one is incredibly difficult to kill and lays waste to every civilization they encounter. They lead massive armies formed from Goblins that emerge from every part of the world and flock to the Goblin King’s banner. Only the combined efforts of nations can stop Goblin Kings, which is why almost every nation in the world has signed a treaty which requires their aid in destroying a Goblin King, should one appear. Such is their threat that Goblin Lords are actively hunted down to prevent them from becoming Goblin Kings.

Goblin Kings are a gesalt consciousness of every Goblin King that has existed at that point, with the First Goblin King's personality being notably dominant. They arise when they learn the truth of Goblins. The Goblin King was designed by the Gods as a reason for other species to war against Goblins, though they never planned for him to become so powerful.

Once an individual becomes a Goblin King, they become insane with rage, overcome by the single-minded hatred of the First Goblin King compounded by the rage felt by the other Goblin Kings when they inherited this power, and are compelled to destroy the "playthings" and all that the Gods have wrought. The New Goblin King relives the memories of their predecessors before they regain consciousness, during which the original can use their body without their input. The Goblin King is willing to fulfill the desires of his new host so long as they don't contradict his goals and it's within his power to do. Afterwards, the Goblin King will secure the long-term survival and advancement of Goblins to ensure his continued existance, and weaken the bonds of the world to make the the Dead Gods do not return and execute his rage against non-Goblins.

After they die, their ghosts are no longer affected by the Goblin King's rage and their personalities revert to how they were prior to becoming Kings.

Requirement

Knowledge of the Truth of Goblins can lead to a goblin becoming a Goblin King on the spot. However, it is unclear if there are other methods or requirements to becoming a Goblin King. Goblin Kings are separate from levels and classes, and not a function of the Grand Design.

Powers and Abilities

The Goblin King has access to all the Skills, Spells, knowledge and techniques possessed by previous Goblin Kings. Once a Goblin becomes the Goblin King, they become untouchable by the Grand Design, which cannot read their thoughts despite how they still possess their classes and Skills. As such, they stop levelling once they become the Goblin King, so there is no [Goblin King] class. Their memories from when they become Kings onward are also harder to access by future Goblins, described as 'burning'.

The Goblin King can see fate and destroy anything. They are also able to alter the thoughts of other Goblins, removing positive memories of non-Goblins that they hold so they will join his war, unless one of the King's consciousnesses resists. The Goblin King also knows how to harm the divine in battles of perspective, though he cannot bring forth enough different perspectives to deal significant damage.
