Hobgoblin wizard initiate

You are a member of a hobgoblin community, built on the ideals of martial magic. Here, the occult and the onslaught are woven together into an impenetrable weave, imaginable only by Nomog-Geaya the hobgoblin deity of war and authority.  As a member of the hobgoblin wizard coven, you are surrounded by people and other creatures who share your worldview and your longing for arming oneself with fire and steel, rallying hobgoblin legions under the banner of Nomog-Geaya, hunting elves and goblins to their end, burning all prisoners in sacrifice to Nomog-Geaya (who will accept no other sacrifice). Along with the rest of the initiates, you are committed to resisting the ambitions of goblins and elves alike, applying hobgoblin force as needed. 

Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Insight

Tool Proficiencies: One type of artisan’s tools or one musical instrument

Members of the Hobgoblin wizards refer to their magic as “kraknec” a hobgoblin word meaning “staunch.” When you use these gifts of Nomog-Geaya, savage and menacing swirls of crimson and black light dance in the air around you, and phantasmal smoke might waft through the air. A sensation of aggressiveness and hostility might accompany your spells.

Suggested Characteristics

Most members of the hobgoblin wizards are true believers in Nomog-Geaya. This tight-knit community allows little room for the cynical or disillusioned. They are spiritual, empathetic, and generally aggressive — unless treated to hobgoblin swill and rousing tales of hobgoblin bravery. Their flaws and bonds alike grow naturally from their close ties to the community.

Contacts

The hobgooblin wizards are all about bloodthirsty displays of martial prowess as a form of social networking, helping members cultivate contacts throughout the land. Recruitment is generally limited, however, as hobgoblins generally don't demonstrate a predilection for magic.
