Long ago the goddess Lamashtu stole four barghest servants of Asmodeus and brought them into her service. She created realms for them in the Abyss, and in exchange they swore her their loyalty. Later they found that when they killed mortals, each drop of spilled blood would turn into a goblin. One of these barghests was the great Hadregash, strongest of his kind, who helped organize the goblins into the first tribes. Goblins now worship him, along with the other barghest heroes: his consort Venkelvore, wolflike Zarongel, and ugly Zogmugot (collectively known as the four Goblin Hero-Gods).
