“Red Fang tribe elder” / “tribe elder” / “Grandmother Goblin”
Grandmother was the elderly goblin matriarch of the Red Fang tribe and the guiding elder to Scribs and Pex. Wise, nurturing, and forceful when urgency demanded it, she revealed the tribe’s secret troubles and pushed the pair into stealing a millstone to satisfy a dangerous bargain with a witch. In her final hours she shared what she knew of the concealment magic surrounding the tribe and warned of a human hunter closing in. She died soon after, leaving her grandchildren with grief, anger, and the burden of protecting their own.
