THE PUMPKINHEAD UNDERGROUND
Background:
Hello. Most of you know me as The Flower Goblin, but that's not really my name. In fact, I never had a given name. I claimed one for myself. Gooms. I know it sounds a little silly but there's a reason for it. Before I stumbled across my first camp of orcs in Aegis, I can't remember ever knowing anybody besides myself. I lived in the wilderness, hunting and gathering. But I have always had two things: a pumpkin with a eye holes and a big hole in the bottom, and a note. Of course, not being able to read the note, I didn't know what the pumpkin was for or what it represented. But like I said, I came across an encampment of orcs, who were nice enough to take me back to their city. When I realized that the writing on my note resembled the writing on their walls and signs, I grabbed the nearest orc, pulled out my paper, and asked him to read it for me. He was a goblin, I was surprised to realize, but much older. He seemed mildly annoyed at how shriveled and torn the note was, but he could make out some of it. I remember his eyes widening slowly before he looked up at me, finished reading. First, he told me it wasn't the orcish they had in this city, but from a place where he used to live. This is what he could tell me:
The Pumpkinhead Underground was created long ago by a group of goblins who were trying to survive in a land where most conflicts between, or even within goblin clans were resolved with war or violence. The land was fairly fertile and there were plenty of animals to hunt, so goblins rarely left their lands, and if they did, it was for fighting and they never went far. Because of this, they didn't even know other intelligent beings existed in the world. The Pumpkinhead Underground was created by some of the more open-minded goblins. Members could come from any clan, whether they were bitter enemies or reliable allies. Members usually had powerful positions in their clans, but they could bring along others to meetings, hearing their say in matters. Membership was marked by pumpkins, which members would wear on their heads most of, if not all the time. Why they chose pumpkins, nobody knows. Easily recognized, I suppose. But basically, what the the note said was that I was a descendant of the Pumpkin King, one of three goblins who led the group's secret meetings. After telling me all this, the old goblin grinned, crumpled up the note and tossed it into the nearest fire. Looking back, I suppose he could have made the whole story up, and I'll never really know what the note said. It still seems like a good idea, though. Anyway, there have only ever been goblins in the Pumpkinhead Underground according to the old goblin, but since that wasn't an actual rule and there has been a saddening decrease in the goblin population, I am now inviting others to join.
(( Texture pack with no pumpkin blur HERE. If you know how, you can just replace the pimpkin blur in your current texture pack with the pumpkin blur in that one. Also if you just don't feel like wearing a pumpkin and you have some form of skinedit, you can put the attached file, wayyyy down at the bottom, in your parts folder and use partpicker to add it to your skin. Edit the Pumpkin to your liking, so we don't have any two of the same design. ))
