Meneth

Meneth is the Goblin City in the Vardula Valley. Located in the Valley of Nen northwest of the diamond peaks the city was hidden from the world and only one elf ever saw it. Meneth was ruled by the Goblin King Grexlin. In it's hay day meneth was a major trader with Calholm, Cirdanoldor and othe major elf cities. it is said that only the animals of calholm were ever allowed in to the City. In 1780 of the first age the Goblins fought in the war of desperation but had to retreat and were protected by the mist of elentor which hides their city from the outside world. This alerted Noctura to the power of the goblins and meneth became a major target for her armies. She was unsuccessful at locating the city so she turned her attention elsewhere, however; Meneth never left her mind and she started to secretly put plans in motion to reveal it. In 2034 Calspar the only elf to See meneth was captured by noctura before being followed by her to the forest of nen where Grexlin abandoned Calspar out of fear that noctura was watching. Now noctura knew to general Location of Meneth. In 2084 Meneth was betrayed by Benlin a goblin who was a friend of calspar and felt betrayed by the king for denying him entrance to the city. With the exact location of meneth now known Noctura started massing troops in the mountains around the valley and made plans for an invasion. Barolin a goblin noble was haunted by dreams of death and despair and created an escape plan for the uneventual downfall of meneth. On a summers day in 2140 all of nocturas forces Rushed apon the city. The city was caught off guard and many of the goblins died trapped in to city or trying to escape. Only the 2,000 led by Barolin escaped the devastation. The entire valley was burned and Meneth was destroyed. The Fall of meneth became one of the most devastaing blows on the free peoples as it was one of the last stronghold of the Free peoples.

Barolins company of 2000 hid out in the gobbotown outpost north of calholm and joined the alliance of light against Dark and then fought in the war of shadow under the banners of meneth. Only 24 goblins survived the war and they were led by Dukelin barolin's son south to the lenthen forest where they have lived since (or so it is assumed no one has seen goblins since cronan the fake king of the goblins was defeated)
