Penned by Bon’Ox

Bon'Ox: "Right. Wished to blah about da Ox-Klan goals. We've already begun collecting some of the mina for our cause. And chatted about it as well. Da GOAL is 5k MINA. I know we got ~1k collected already."

Kretz'Ox: "Unfortunateli, mi do nub hav much. But, waz all hiz mina to get te piece of land, or juzt maibi hav a better chance at it?"
Bon'Ox: "There is an option of banding together with JARAD the high-elf. As they're lookin' for land as well. And we might be able to get in on that deal."

Cinnamon'Ox: "Possible idea. But maybe we could try to join a mining run next times and collect money through selling some materials I'm at least currently putting some coffee beans to roast and selling some drinks soon."
Kretz'Ox: "Hm. How well do lat knou thiz Jarad? What am tei like?"

[Bun'Ox is playing with her ax.]

Bon'Ox: "The other option is to see about our original plan. To build San'Dagobbah underneath Petra's Capital. Like it was originally. This option could work better as Rivense has a serious housing crisis. This option could possibly be pushed further with a bill in Garmont. To expand the housing and incase Horde loses the war, offer a place of refuge. The Arch-Duke would perhaps like it more as it'll fatten their coin-purse, bring activity & gain a powerful ally."
Bon'Ox to Kretz'Ox: "I believe you've met Jarad."
Bon'Ox to Cinnamon: "Yes we could!"

Cinnamon'Ox: "Small question, would the Arch-Duke even agree to San'Dagobbah proposal?
Bun'Ox: "Elf man, I like him. He gives me steaks!"
Cinnamon'Ox: "I can trust Jarad to a certain degree, yet haven't much socialized with him in recent days."
Kretz'Ox: "Huh, mi peep. That am zomthin' mi worri a bit about too. Mi still like te original plan te best, as that am what was proized to uz. As for pozzibli livin with high elfiez. Well. Tei hav a bad tendeci to be quite racizt to te point where tei flat thoze of teir kin with mixed grizh. Jarad might nub be like that, but it am to be zeen what te otherz am like."
Cinnamon'Ox: "That was more the promise of Therin. I don't know if his son is still on the same line."
Bon'Ox: "The Bill to create San'Dagobbah was approved, though it wuz under Therin I. His son, the current Arch-Duke is more uh, 'conservative'. It depends on how comfortable we would be as a Klan."
Bon'Ox: "Going with the original plan, we might feel more pressured to 'act right' & have unknown variables(Empire) & residents(Other races)."
Bon'Ox: "With High-Elves, we may gain more freedom but will be closely tied with another group, their oddities & lose the city-walls."
 

[Bon'Ox would produce an almost 80 yrs old bill]

Cinnamon'Ox: "We could try to pull out the bill at the meeting. But you know how sometimes binding a ruler to old bills can be hard. Yet he did approve my bill for Chambery and Portmeisra. A role that i feel doesn't really feel fit for me."
Kretz'Ox: "So tere am nub perfektion with either azh. Azh option kould be for uz to bring thiz up in Krug, try to get a place for San'Dagobbah tere".
Bon'Ox: "The Arch-Duke also wishes us all to go through the Darkspawn testing. I'll be uh.. 'Transcribing' this conversation & giving it to each Ox member to peep at and start a vote to see what people think."
Bun'Ox: "What for?"
Bon'Ox: "Mi would rather not - Horde is too volatile of a place. Both in population and their current status. But mi will offer that as an option azwell."
Cinnamon'Ox: "I'm no really keen to go to the Horde. I'm too bound to Petra. It's my home. And with war looming, we would likely be on the target list for imperial barbarians."
Bun'Ox: "Why Darkspawn test?"
Bon'Ox: "Oh - uh. They be paranoid & you never know if someone is. It's like a.. Trust fall?"
Bon'Ox: "Mi mean.. Yhl was one."
Bun'Ox: "Trust fall deez nuts!"

[Bun'Ox would then break the couch she was sitting on to Bon'Ox's & his wallets dismay.]

[There is a short discussion about making a small Mekka to bribe gift to the Arch-Duke]

[Cayenne'Ox & Mu'd'Ox would join as Kretz'Ox brings up the final topic]
Kretz'Ox: "Other than San'Dagobbah, mi hav azh thing mi alzo want to blah about: Mi am getting old, agh mi am getting more agh more tired each dai.. Mi think it am tik for Ox to hav a new Tekgoth."
Bon'Ox: "So soon? Thought you would be one til you Flat?"
Cinnamon'Ox: We really.. So we need to elect one new?
Bon'Ox: "Lots of elections huh."
Kretz'Ox: "To be honest, mi were supposed to be te Tekgoth only temporarily to keep te klan alive. That was.. about 280 years ago? Maybe even a bit more. If lat'z want, mi kan stai until mi flat, but it am still important to bring it up alreadi. Mi kan nub sai for sure how long mi will live or be in hozh enough health.
Cinnamon'Ox: "Understand, so a break for you to have from all the clan leading?"
[At this point, Bon'Ox would call off the meeting. Kretz'Ox staying the Tekgoth for now.]
 

OX

- The Goblin Clan of Creators -

Unlike uruks or ologs, goblins tend to lack the pure physical strength that others of their kin have. They are simply just not made to be these giant fighting machines that crush their enemy with their bare fists. Instead their strength lies elsewhere; in their mind. Goblins are cunning and creative creatures with the ability to come up and even create the most amazing machines. So, instead of crushing their enemy with their fists, they create something to accomplish that for them. Maybe a rock falling off at the right time, or maybe a very spiky roller being spun by the movement of the wagon pushed by some animals towards the enemy line.

This is what goblins are for. They think, plan and create machines of any purpose for their kin. Clan Ox intends to bring as many of these goblins together, to work together for even better inventions and creations. After all, where one may get stuck when inventing, another may find a way forward.

COMMUNAL INFORMATION

- = O = -

Not only is the Ox clan intending to create new inventions together, it intends to teach its members new things too. These things tend to vary by who all currently have the time to share their knowledge and what knowledge they even have to share. The general idea of this is to heighten the knowledge base of all Oxies and help them invent even more. 

RANKS

- = O = -

Tekgoth

- o -

Tekgoth is the wargoth of Ox, either being chosen to the position by the old leader or voted in by the court. As the leader of Ox, Tekgoth is one of the most creative and knowledgeable goblins out there. Their job is to look after the Oxies, teach them and make sure they have the means to create any inventions.

Elder

- o -

Elders of the clan are the noticeably older Oxies, once having either been Tekgoths or otherwise notable members of the clan.

During their years they have collected mountains of knowledge that any Oxie should listen to.

Puzzla & Krafta

- o -

There are two steps to creating anything: Planning and execution. Without a plan there is nothing to create, and without making anything a plan only stays as an idea. That is what these two roles are for. 

Puzzlaz are the goblins who tend to prefer planning how various machines would work. Their knowledge is based on books and studies.

Kraftas are the ones who tend to prefer the building process more, making the machines actually work. They base their knowledge on experience and muscle memory.

The best of both hold the title of Epik Puzzla and Epik Krafta.

New Oxie

- o -

These are those who have just started their journey in the clan, yet having decided what they wanna be and yet to complete their trials.

JOINING THE CLAN

- = O = -

 Anyone with majority goblin blood can join the clan. Ox clan is most suitable for those wanting to learn and create, people who are interested in redstone, alchemy, smithing and building.

The clan is located in Iron Horde, outside the main city of San’Bríu.

To join please be in contact with one of the clan members, preferably Tekgoth Kretz’Ox.

Trial of Agility

- 1 -

One notable feature of goblins is their speed and reaction time. They use this skill to their advantage, whatever is it in combat or just to get somewhere high up.

With this trial, a true Ox proves themself to be a nifty gobbo.

Trial of Perception

- 2 -

Second notable feature of goblins is their creativity. They come up with all kinds of ideas from warmachines to food dispensers in pursuit to make their and their kins life better.

This trial is to test the creativity and planning skills of the new Oxie as they design something great.

Trial of Intelligence

- 3 -

The third notable feature of a goblin is their skills to create. Smithing, building, redstone, a goblin always has even some trades under their belt.

On this last trial the new Oxie makes their plans from the last trial into reality to prove they can truly make what their mind imagines.

HISTORY

- = O = -

The story of clan Ox starts way back in the realm of Vailor. There a young and highly motivated goblin by the name of Snawt’Ox was tasked by the new Rex, Kharak’Raguk, to create a brand new warmachine like no other. And so, that’s what Snawt did. Even after the war machine had been finished he continued his creations, and even achieved the title of Snagagoth.

Though eventually Rex Kharak’Raguk’s reign ended with his death, followed by some drastic changes that prompted Snawt’Ox to leave the orc nation behind with his children. They were not homeless for too long though, finding a new home on the islands of Asul, now known in history as Golin’Dar. There the group of goblins soon formed into a clan of creators, engineers and inventors, the Ox clan. 

Unfortunately political issues eventually struck them, ending up in destruction of Golin’Dar by the nation of Krugmar. Those who survived rejoined the war nation, though it took a bit longer for Snawt’Ox to return.

Eventually in the realm of Arcas, Snawt’Ox returned, not as the young and motivated engineer, but as an experienced shaman determined to teach the new generation of Oxies.

Through hoops and loops, this job of leading the Ox clan eventually moved from Snawt’Ox to Blazt’Ox to Gadget’Ox, who even was the Rex for a small while back in Arcas after speaking out against the previous one that many found to be unfit to rule. Alas, soon after winning the honor klomp and whitewashing the previous Rex, Gadget herself was defeated and whitewashed. This left the clan for a small while without a leader, until Kretz’Ox became the Tekgoth. Currently in the realm of Almaris, Kretz is attempting to revive and reinvent the clan to be something great.
