Goblin Chainwhirler
It is said that at some point in history an especially fiendish tribe of goblins managed to summon a chain devil through blind luck. The devil tore through the tribe, leaving only one cowardly goblin that hid under a shrub to tell the tale. To this day, goblin chainwhirlers hope to emulate even a fraction of that devil's skill, as its story is passed down as both a warning and a lesson.
Wartime Wardens. Via their skill with chains—and a predilection for the incarceration of others—chainwhirlers often ingratiate themselves with goblin bosses and goblin kings to serve as their jailers and prison wardens. They delight in tormenting their captives; wrapping them in thick chains and parading them through their warcamps.
