This short passage will talk about one of what the Drakuth Dwarves name as the Apocalypses, specifically the Apocalypse of Goblins.

Long ago, during one of the golden ages of the Drakuth dwarves, they were able to expand through most of the entirety of the mountain range, as well as being able to delve deep into the Crag, a deep endless chasm that spits out both treasures and monsters of legend.

The first signs of the goblins came from the repeated failures and disappearances of the Crag delves, which were famous for being some of the best adventurers and warriors in the mountain range. While it was distressing, it wasn’t rare for entire delves to go missing in a blink of an eye due to some of the insanely strong monsters that can come out of the depths.

The second sign was that the normal goblin camps and tribes that inhabit the edges of the dwarven territory were starting to get both stronger, as well as pop up more and more. The dwarves at the time believed it to be because they were starting to get into the larger, left alone tribes that haven’t been attacked in a while, but that was of course incorrect. While some dwarves were able to start seeing the pattern, it was too late when they finally pieced it together.

The third and final sign before the Apocalypse truly began was that only a week before the Apocalypse began, almost no monsters except goblins were found by adventurers and explorers. That being the most severe sign, many dwarves started to panic and while many people and leaders were preparing for something, both the scale and severity was unlike anything they’ve ever seen before.
