Harry Potter: The Last Exodus

Foundations of Veilthron - Gringold's Vision

As the goblin ships landed on the mountainous continent of Veilthron, Gringold, Supreme King of the Goblins, took in the rugged, mineral-rich landscape with a gleam of satisfaction. Veilthron was a land of promise—its sharp peaks and deep caverns calling to the goblin heart for mining, building, and conquering. Beside him, High Chief Garrok and High Priest Targash shared his awe.

"This land," Gringold declared to the gathered goblins, his voice echoing over the mountainside, "is ours to shape. Here, we'll build Veilhold, a city worthy of goblin heritage, strength, and wealth."

The crowd of goblins erupted into murmurs of excitement and pride. They could already see their new lives carved from the land, visions of crystal-lined vaults and grand fortresses springing to mind.

Planning the Capital and Foundation of Veilhold

Gringold gestured to a central, towering peak. "The mountain's base will hold Gringotts Stronghold—the center of our government and treasury. Here, we'll build vaults deep into the rock, and Veilhold will rise around it as our capital city."

High Priest Targash, staff in hand, nodded in agreement. "And there, Supreme King, we will also construct the Temple of Wealth. Its halls will honor the spirits of earth and metal, ensuring that Veilthron's riches yield willingly to our people."

Gringold grinned. "Precisely, Targash. Our prosperity shall be forged here. Every goblin clan will have a role, from the High Chiefs to the engineers, miners, and artisans."

High Chief Garrok looked over the surrounding area thoughtfully. "With the mines and vaults at the base of the mountain, we'll establish fortifications along each main road leading to Veilhold, building secure routes for moving our treasures and managing trade."

Gringold's expression turned determined. "See to it, Garrok. Watchtowers at strategic points, reinforced with the strongest metals Veilthron offers. Our wealth must be protected as much as it's expanded."

Confirming Currency and Resources

As goblin miners began their first excavations, they immediately uncovered large veins of crystal embedded in the rock, alongside rich deposits of gold, silver, and other rare minerals. These crystals had been designated as currency during their initial exploration, but here in Veilthron, the discovery felt like a blessing itself.

"We'll store and protect these crystals in the vaults of Gringotts Stronghold," Gringold announced, watching the first cluster of crystals being unearthed with satisfaction. "From Veilthron, they'll establish our trade, symbolizing our power and the wealth of this continent."

Garrok and several other engineers inspected the crystals, calculating their value for various transactions and enchantments. With each one they handled, plans for vault security and exchange systems grew. "Supreme King, we can assign different values to the crystals based on clarity and color," Garrok suggested. "This will give each one a unique place in our economy."

Gringold nodded approvingly. "Implement it. We'll ensure goblins hold the most stable and valuable currency in the world."

Establishing the Hierarchy and Dividing Roles

With the foundation of Veilhold set and the initial currency system in place, Gringold turned his attention to the organization of Veilthron's goblin society. They would operate with a clear hierarchy to maximize efficiency and respect their traditions:

Supreme King – As leader, Gringold would command all aspects of goblin life, ensuring the prosperity and strength of Veilthron.High Priest – Targash would preside over spiritual matters, blessing the mines and overseeing religious practices at the Temple of Wealth.Shamans – Goblin mystics aligned with Targash to deepen their connection to Veilthron and protect its resources.High Chiefs – Leaders over each region of Veilthron, responsible for law, order, and local development.Clan Leaders – Overseers of individual goblin clans, managing their members and production outputs.Warlords – Commanders of goblin armies, charged with Veilhold's security.Captains – Leaders of smaller squads under the Warlords' command.Engineers/Artificers – Master crafters and builders, crucial for creating tools, defenses, and enchantments.Curse Breakers – Tasked with safely handling and neutralizing magical hazards in the mines.Warriors/Soldiers – Trained goblins responsible for Veilhold's protection and patrol.Gringotts Director – The overseer of financial operations and vault security.Senior Account Managers – Responsible for major accounts and high-value assets.Vault Supervisors – In charge of organizing and maintaining the central vaults.Account Managers – Handle routine banking functions and serve as liaisons for trades.Tellers – Manage day-to-day transactions with customers.Apprentices – Young goblins training in their respective fields, from mining to banking.Junior Goblins – New adult goblins assisting in essential tasks.Miners – The foundation of the workforce, uncovering and extracting Veilthron's wealth.Laborers – General workers, from builders to cleaners, supporting all efforts.Slaves/Captives – Held as workers or as part of goblin spoils, used for labor under strict supervision.

Each position received respect and acknowledgment as the goblins eagerly accepted their roles in this new land.

Building the Capital and Setting Up Villages

Under Gringold's direction, goblin clans quickly staked their claims, marking out territories for mining, trading, and establishing smaller settlements. Gringold directed his attention to the construction of Gringotts Stronghold, Veilhold's governmental core, and other significant buildings, including barracks, artisan workshops, and trading houses.

Garrok surveyed the land with a tactical eye. "We'll create fortifications around Veilhold, keeping access limited to secure trade routes. Smaller villages for artisans and miners will follow these roads."

Targash added, "The temple's position near Gringotts Stronghold will offer blessings to all who enter. The closer our people are to it, the more prosperous they'll be."

Gringold nodded approvingly. "Exactly, Targash. Each clan will be assigned lands where they'll build villages close to their areas of expertise—miners near the caves, artisans along the main road for easy trade access."

A Prosperous Future

As dusk settled over the mountains, the goblins paused their work, watching the setting sun cast a golden hue over Veilthron. Gringold, joined by his High Chief Garrok and High Priest Targash, surveyed the progress with pride.

"Supreme King," Targash began, looking up at the gleaming peaks, "Veilthron is indeed a land of promise, but it is we who will give it strength and shape."

Gringold smiled, a glint of ambition in his eyes. "We will build here a fortress that all others will envy. Our wealth and legacy will shine brighter than even the richest crystal. Veilthron will be our eternal claim to power."

The goblins nodded in agreement, their hearts burning with ambition. Here, in the cradle of Veilthron, they would not only create wealth but forge a kingdom worthy of their legacy. Their work, driven by the blessings of the land, had only just begun.
