Although goblins aren't normally strong enough to pose a real threat to armies, the Scorpion Clan goblins have two advantages that allow them to claim their land. First they are organized better than orther goblin tribes, and the only ones to build fortifications in the wilderness. and secondly the greasy poison they coat their weapons with. The creation of the poison is a secret of the Scorpion Clan shamans, and so far the secret has been well kept.
