Kerbog Khan
Summary
Kerbog Khan is a small bipedal construct of unknown origin encountered in the Goblin Market. He claims to possess knowledge of the Halls of Arden Vul surpassing that of anyone else living, and seeks to trade information — but only under very specific terms.
Appearance
- Small bipedal construct (not humanoid-sized).
- Exact appearance not further described.
Known Behavior
- “All Deals Must Be Sealed in Blood” — requires a literal blood pact from anyone he does business with.
- “Principals only” — insists on dealing with the decision-maker directly, not their guards or proxies. When a Thorcin merchant offered his guard’s blood instead of his own, Kerbog Khan rejected this.
- Claims to know more about the Halls of Arden Vul than anyone else living.
First Encounter (Session 42a)
Kerbog Khan was observed in the Goblin Market attempting to negotiate with Thorcin merchants. The merchant was unwilling to give a blood sample and tried to have his guard deal with the construct, but Kerbog Khan refused on “principals only” grounds. Vael noticed the encounter but was busy at the time and did not engage.
Notes
- Potentially a significant source of information about the Halls if the party is willing to deal on his terms.
- His origins and true nature are unknown.
