The Meskilak (pronounced MESS-kill-ack), also known as the Gate-Crashers, are a nomadic goblin tribe in Brightmarch. Known for their ability to live anywhere, eat anything, and get along with anyone, they have carved out a niche for themselves as diplomatic and cultural intermediaries.
History
This is the story of the Meskilak as told by their ambassadors. They lived in temperate lands to the north for ages, a mostly peaceful existence alongside other peoples. Many generations ago, they were forced out of their old home by tyrannical invaders called the Teary Ones who desired their territory. After searching for a new place to live nearby for a number of years, they decided to leave their former homelands entirely and find somewhere new across the desert. The Meskilak trekked for years, through desert, arid lands, and along the coast of a great sea, meeting a number of peoples they were unfamiliar with along the way. They met dwarves made of sand, nocturnal elves, and turtles afraid of music. The Meskilak thought all these groups were rather odd. This thought turned inward. If we consider them unusual, the Meskilak thought, then they must believe the same of us. Their journey continued. Eventually the goblins reached a great city that kept the desert at bay, and they saw the verdant lands beyond. The tribe decided this would be the location they would stay, and they would seek to understand and appreciate everyone they met.
In the analyses of historians, this account appears to be collaborated by other sources. The Meskilak departed the Western Coast sometime around Y9540*, setting south into parts unknown by the other goblin tribes of the region. After spending many on a meandering route south, they arrived in Brightmarch by Y9680*.
Demographics
The Meskilak are entirely goblin. While most are descended from the original group that migrated south, some goblins from Brightmarch and elsewhere have joined the tribe in the years since.
