The '''Battle of Plain of Mud''' was a major battle which took place in the mid [[Fourth Age]], in the area which is now modern-day [[Hemenster]]. The battle was fought between all of the twelve [[goblin]] tribes, and was a turning point in goblin history, now remembered by goblins far and wide as the turn of the new [[Goblin century]].

==Prelude and battle==

About in the middle of Fourth Age, the larger [[human]] and a few other intelligent races' settlements were able to defend themselves from attacks by hostile tribes and races. [[Goblin]]s were starting to lose the competition for food resources in [[Gielinor]] due to inferior technology and skills. Due to the fact that food was unevenly distributed between different goblin tribes, goblin tribes without food started attacking tribes with food.

It culminated when almost every goblin tribe gathered into two factions in place of modern [[Fishing Guild]] and the Battle of Plain of Mud began which lasted several days. Both sides were about evenly strong, and casualties were heavy. Due to the rainy weather, lots of goblin bodies and goblin feet trampling the ground, it turned into an enormous, sunken [[Plain of Mud]].

==Hopespear's vision==

In the midst of the battle, one of the [[Narogoshuun]] tribe's goblin footsoldiers named [[Hopespear]] saw a dream about [[Bandos]] ordering him to stop the battle. Although Bandos liked the battle, he was afraid that it would lead goblin race to extinction, thus losing many of his followers. Bandos promised that one day he'll send a [[Zanik|Chosen Commander]] who will lead goblins to victory.

==Aftermath==

After [[Hopespear]] told about his vision to his general, all of the remaining goblin generals gathered to an emergency meeting and ended the battle. Hopespear's vision was written down in a [[Goblin book|Goblin Holy Book]], and a [[goblin Cave|temple]] was built in the place where Battle of Plain of Mud took place. It soon sank into mud where it is still one of the most important goblin temples, featuring in many quests in the [[Dorgeshuun quest series]], as well as the [[Goblin High Priest]] [[miniquest]]. There is also the last resting place of Hopespear, the prophet.
