<egg|anbo|egg_> it seems that the goblins live mostly in one specific fortress, stroketorch
<egg|anbo|egg_> 4303 goblins, 227 dwarves, 67 dwarf outcasts, 48 dogs, 48 chickens, 12 elves, 10 horses, 10 goblin visitors, 8 cats, 3 dwarf visitors

<SnoopJ> A massive compact halo of goblins?
<egg|anbo|egg_> stroketorch, founded 104; first named goblin settles 104; no obvious reason, came from dark pits of a goblin civ
<SnoopJ> dark goblin

<galois> Added adj 'virial'
<egg|anbo|egg_> quite a lot settle starting in 231 (then 234, 241, 245) fleeing persecutions of dwarven groups within a goblin civilization
<SnoopJ> ...goblins fleeing, or dwarves?
<egg|anbo|egg_> goblins
<SnoopJ> ethical goblins?
queqiao- has joined #kspacademia
<SnoopJ> philosopher goblins
<egg|anbo|egg_> OK so the story seems to involve Urnblow
<egg|anbo|egg_> The creed of radiance, a dwarven religious group, was formed in 63 in the fortress of Urnblow
<egg|anbo|egg_> Urnblow was taken over by goblin invasion in 174
<raptop> creed of radiance... dark fortress... hrm
<SnoopJ> defense goblins?
<egg|anbo|egg_> but it seems that the creed of radiance became very popular in that goblin civilization
<egg|anbo|egg_> some joining before, many joining and preaching after the invasion
<SnoopJ> assimilated goblins
<egg|anbo|egg_> In the third century (200s) you start getting lots of persecutions by goblin governments against the creed of radiance, which is probably how Stroketorch ends up being full of goblins
<raptop> astronomers being silly, I think. (or is this one of those ultrahard SF articles that sometimes shows up?) https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.15181
<galois> title: [2106.15181] A Dyson Sphere around a black hole
<SnoopJ> egg|anbo|egg_, and Urnblow was still considered Dwarven at the time of the persecutions that caused the goblins to flee, I guess?
<egg|anbo|egg_> no, urnblow still belongs to the goblin civ
<egg|anbo|egg_> (in terms of population it is half-goblin and half-dwarven)
<SnoopJ> hmm, because the religion was?
<egg|anbo|egg_> but urnblow is much smaller than those 4000 goblins ; the creed of radiance seems to have spread through the goblin civ, and the persecutions meant lots of goblins fled somewhere else—into the dwarven civ that practiced the same creed
<SnoopJ> wondering why it's "persecution of dwarven groups" they're fleeing from
<egg|anbo|egg_> nono it’s explicitly persecution of the creed of radiance
<SnoopJ> ah
