Portrait Goblin Firemage - Art Contest Splinterlands

The rugged goblins of the Burning Lands have embraced many types of craft and skill that are outside the awareness of their cousins in Anumun, including the conjuring arts. The majority of these fire goblins live in the vast northern region known as the Smoldering Forest, along with 90% of the continent's vegetation. There are entire societies of goblins there that never leave the shelter of the forests, creating everything they need to survive using the delicate but chaotic combination of growth and fire. One of these large groups calls themselves the Viridi - “that which continues to grow.” The Viridi have masterful sciences and industries of their own, about which the Anumun goblins of Gobson know nothing. Their people thrive in peace, reach for intellectual greatness and expand the limits of what is possible.

One of the most esteemed and mysterious positions among the Viridi is that of Firemage. Over their intensive twenty year studies, these mages learn to extract the greatest quantities of fire mana for their spells from deep within the Planet while expending only a small amount of energy. Within the Viridi, their magic is used to power engines, maintain perpetual furnaces, even to prolong goblin life and comfort the sick. They are also the only members of the Viridi that venture beyond the boundaries of the Smoldering Forest and explore the Splinterlands. Several years ago, a small group of Goblin Firemages was discovered by a Torch scout party defending themselves in the Ashlands against a band of wild trolls. The scouts watched as the Firemages vaporized all five of the towering trolls without breaking a sweat. Now Firemages are considered some of the deadliest warriors in the Burning Lands.
