Once the most powerful goblin tribe in western Varisia, the Thistletop goblins took their name from the ruined island fortress of Thistletop that they called home. Led by Warchief Ripnugget, the tribe long held the island fortress and nearby forest of Nettlewood.1
In 4707 AR, an empyrean2 cleric of Lamashtu named Nualia Tobyn united the four other local goblin tribes under the Thistletop tribe and plotted to invade and destroy the nearby town of Sandpoint. Unfortunately for the tribe and its leadership, local adventurers foiled their plans and raided their stronghold.34
Ripnugget was slain in the attack but returned from the dead as a graveknight, and he began forming an army of undead goblins to wreak revenge on the city.34
