The Khesh’dar (Silent Folk) is a clan of goblin spies. Members follow one of two paths: the scouts of the taarka’khesh (silent wolves) or the assassins of the shaarat’khesh (silent knives). The Khesh’dar sell their services to all the Dhakaani clans, remaining steadfastly neutral in the absence of a clear leader. In addition, they seed spies throughout the Five Nations—agents that blend in with local goblin populations. The Khesh’dar occasionally admit outsiders into their ranks, most often changelings or foreign goblins.

Feature: Goblin Hospitality
Over the last few decades, the Khesh’dar have established safe houses and agents in many of the major cities of Khorvaire. In addition, many modern goblins are keen to hear tales of ancient Dhakaan and are happy to trade a meal for a story or song. You can find a place to hide, rest, or recuperate in any sizable community of goblins. They’ll shield you from the law or anyone else searching for you, though they won’t risk their lives for you.
Suggested Characteristics
Clan agents are diverse. Consider the clan you serve and the work you do when choosing characteristics.
