Ever since goblins claimed their independence and intelligence, the Sparkcog Cartel has stood among the five greatest cartels of the Trade Coalition. It is a cartel that often stresses its neutrality, assuring both the Alliance and Horde that not all goblins pick sides. The cartel operates out of several of its cities, which are scattered throughout Azeroth. Under current Trade Prince Zimirvox's rule, the cartel has prospered and massively expanded industrialism, recovering from it's steep decline a few decades previous.
