Nestled high within the dense and towering Emeraldshade Forest, the Canopykin Clan is a goblin tribe that has forsaken the earth for the heights of the treetops. Their sprawling village, crafted from intricately woven branches, suspended bridges, and hollowed-out trunks, stretches across the forest canopy like a secret, living web. Most Canopykin goblins have never touched the forest floor, and some even believe that doing so would bring misfortune to their tribe.
The Canopykin goblins are masters of stealth, blending seamlessly with the foliage and moving with unparalleled silence. Their greatest joy is to observe travelers wandering through the forest below, delighting in their ability to remain unseen. When an outsider passes through their domain unnoticed, the clan throws a grand celebration, a "Hidden Harvest", with music, dancing, and feasts of wild fruits, nuts, and honey.
However, should an observant traveler spot their village or one of their goblins, they are not met with hostility. Instead, the Canopykin respond with an over-the-top display of hospitality, treating the visitor as royalty. Lavish meals are prepared, and the traveler is pampered and entertained until they can eat no more. To the Canopykin, sending someone off utterly stuffed is the ultimate punishment, as they find it a humorous way to inconvenience their guest while showing off their unique "retaliation of kindness."
The Canopykin Clan, with their eccentric traditions and peculiar love of mischief, are a rare but welcome encounter for those who wander into the depths of the Emeraldshade Forest, if they’re lucky enough to spot them.
