Gobwins?

[yay]

assumedly all the Gobwins died in the uncroaking of the volcano, the only "survivors" are the ones Wanda decrypted. so, are they still natural allies? are they extinct? is the next book titled "the Battle for Knob"

[moose o death]

the next book is called love is a battlefield.

i'm sure there are other gobwin tribes out there, the natural allied gobwins wont be extinct as they likely are popped by the GK hex as indiginous units. there is no breeding new units so a species can survive without any survivors in erfworld. the next day a new one would pop regardless of other influences.

[Welf von Ehrwald]

The gobwins as natural allies still exists; there is exactly one hobgobwin, Vurp, who survived. But we don't know of "they" can pop more gobwins, if they don't have any gobwins left. The decrypted are part of Gobwin Knob, just as uncroaked would be.

[DevilDan]

Well, we know that they can certainly pop twolls.

[Wyvern]

I kind of doubt that the entire Gobwin species was at Gobwin Knob at the time of the battle. There's probably still some sort of Gobwin headquarters out there somewhere (maybe just metaphorically; I don't really know how non-kingdom sides like Gobwins and Marbits work).

Whether the Gobwins are still willing to remain GK's allies after that catastrophe is another question. Though given its current position of power, I guess it seems more likely than not that they would. Actually, I'm not sure if it would have been possible for them to break alliance without Vurp going hostile...

[DevilDan]

We don't even know the exact like, if any, between gobwins and hobgobwins.
