"If you do not like the sting of nettles, do not shit in the woods." ~ Gaboon
Skull Coast is a chaotic place. Unruly, uncivilised and beyond the reach of laws.
Despite this, a rigid structure of status is enforced, based on the tenets of Mog and the benevolence of the truculuent Tyrant that rules the largest tribe deep in the darkness of the thick jungle. Higher status provides better living conditions, but do not mistake this for honour. The sly and the nefarious may find ways to circumvent this system, as long as they are savvy. A common phrase amongst the goblin community is: "What the Gorgun does not find out, wont hurt you." - Wise words, often spoken by the survivors!
It is said no orc grows old by accident. Only strength or cowardice is the answer. The Black Tusks regularly execute cowards.
The Great And Glorious Gaboon, Gorgun Of The Black Tusks, Slayer Of The Spider Priests, Holder Of Many Skulls, Great Lord of The Forests is the supreme leader of the Black Tusk Tribe. He is held in regard something akin to a saint, a monarch perhaps, or even a Papal figure by his people. For good reason: He must be the most benevolent, wise and generous of all the tribal chiefs to have ever existed.
He Who Eats First casts his shining gaze across his people, guiding their lives like a spiritual lighthouse through his supreme oversight of the Tenets of Mog, leading them to greatness. The Nations of Sincadere have no choice but to recognise the stalwart strength of our peoples and pay homage and tribute to our continued everlasting success.
Some of the more jealous, belligerent, spineless cronies of other courts describe Gaboon as a petty capricious Tyrant, ruling over the Black Tusks through fear and intimidation. They whisper from the shadows of a monstrous creature, prone to bouts of unbridled rage, dosed into drowsiness by a consistent diet of hallucinogenic mushrooms. They chitter behind cupped hands of a violent, bloodthirsty warlord with loathsome appetites, lashing out and regularly murdering his subordinates when his unreasonable demands are not met.
All of this, of course, is Elven propaganda.
Composed and curated by nations envious of our perfected social model and ashamed of their own failings. For what nation can utter such profanity about our glorious Gorgun, when their own streets are littered with the poor, the sick and the lame? The Black Tusk Tribe have no such people within our stalwart wooden parapets. Such is the testament of his supreme leadership and the devotion of his mighty Hoks.
Many within the Black Tusk Tribe know Madison LeBeau by one of her many titles: Endsinger. Night Chicken. Bah'Jicho. Shamanka. Alchemist. Healer.
To some, she is a healer of wounds and sickness. To others, a guide for souls whose stories have reached their final chapter. To a select few, she is a trusted advisor whose counsel carries nearly as much weight as the concoctions she brews. Whatever name is spoken, it is rarely done without a mixture of respect, curiosity, and the occasional exasperated sigh, depending on who is asked.
When Madison first awoke upon these lands, it was the Black Tusks who offered her a place to call home. Since that day, she has devoted herself to the prosperity of the tribe, striving to see it grow stronger with each passing season. Through tireless work and unwavering dedication, she rose steadily through the ranks, earning the trust of her people and, eventually, the attention of those who lead them.
Now bearing the title of Bah'Gun, Madison continues her service to the tribe with renewed purpose. Standing beside the Great and Glorious Gaboon, she serves as an extension of his voice and will, helping guide the Black Tusks toward an even greater future. Though the responsibilities of her station are many, she carries them willingly, ever seeking to ensure the continued strength, prosperity, and glory of the tribe she proudly calls home.

The Snaga Whip plays an integral part to the smooth running of the Skull Coast. The Snaga Whip is responsible for the many Snaga that have been taken in by the tribe. It is the Whip who decides which Snaga get to wear clothing or get the first pick of the food provided to the Snaga.
