Hobgoblin Empire

The Hobgoblin Empire of the Eastern Steppes is one of the largest and most powerful Greenskin Empire in the entire world, ruled by their legendary ruler Hobgobla-Khan. Like all Empires that are formed within the large, trackless steppes of the east, the Hobgoblin Empire is not really a nation, but rather a large confederation of Hobgoblin Clans all holding fealty to Hobgobla-Khan. The empire was said to have been founded by the legendary and near mythical Khengai Khan.

Such is the extent and power of the empire that 90% of caravans going through the Silk Road which passes through their domain never reach their destination. It is said that when all the tribes loyal to Hobgobla-Khan are drawn up for battle, his horde extends from horizon to horizon. The Dragon Emperor of Grand Cathay maintains several fortresses on his western frontier (such as Shang-Yang, where the Tilean traders keep an additional mercenary garrison) to defend his realm from the wrath of Hobgobla-Khan.
