Goblin-town was a Goblin (or Orc) dwelling which lay under the Misty Mountains, ruled by the Great Goblin.

Goblin-town was a series of tunnels and caverns, which went all the way through the mountains, with a 'back door' (the Goblin-gate) near the Eagle's Eyrie in Wilderland, which served as a means of escape, and an access to the Wilderland.^[1]A cave with a lake was deep beneath Goblin-town yet was connected to the Goblins' tunnels, with one passage leading to the 'back door'.^[2]

3. In games terms lots of routes across and out from Goblin Town to escape, but lots of edges of platforms and walkways that will effectively trap any model that loses a fight whilst unlucky enough to be on the edge. That will result in lots of cases where double wounds will be being rolled for!
4. City cemetery - At the cemetery (9), if you dig open the largest grave, in the center, you will gain access to a tunnel with a multitude of the undead inside. Inside, there also is a boss waiting for you and, if you reach the fork, one of the branches goes to the surface and the other to the chest in the city, which you cannot access from outside.

[edit]History

Long before the coming of the Orcs of the Misty Mountains, mysterious creatures were living in the caves.^[2] Around T.A.2480 the Orcs of the Misty Mountains started making secret strongholds in the mountains blocking the passages towards Eriador^[3] and expanded those caves, digging tunnels to connect them; without their knowledge they drove those slimy creatures into dark corners. One of those 'original owners' was Gollum, who was living in a nearby underground lake, feeding himself on raw fish and Goblins that he killed.^[2]

The main gate of the town was in one of the passes of the Misty Mountains, but by T.A.2941^[3] travellers learned to avoid that dangerous road and the goblins opened another under the safer High Pass (the Front Porch).^[1]

During the journey to Lonely Mountain, Thorin and Company rested in a cave and were captured by the Goblins. They were brought before the Great Goblin, who accused them of spying, and was enraged when he found that Thorin was carrying Orcrist, a sword the Great Goblin remembered from Gondolin. With the help of Gandalf, the Great Goblin was slain and Bilbo and the Dwarves escaped, pursued by force of Goblins.^[4]
