Gola

During the middle of the Second Age, the Gola once waged a fierce and deadly war against the entirety of the rest of the world. Their goal was simple: the complete domination of the world and the elimination of all magic. But that war ended a thousand years ago with a cease fire treaty still in effect today. And so for a thousand years, no one outside Gothica has seen or heard from the Gola, only receiving the slight hint or tease that they're still around once in a while. Do they still wish for world domination and to eliminate all magic? No one really knows. Their very existence is still shrouded in shadow and mystery.   As no one has ever seen them in a thousand years, all anyone has to go on for a physical description is written account stories and reports from the Second Age, and even that can be unreliable. From what anyone can piece together from such accounts, they are huge hulking bipedal beasts, almost demonic in nature, clad entirely in metallic armour, with weapons and shields attached to their right forearm. However, this is for the male Gola. No one has ever seen the female Gola, even during the war.   Whether the Gola still hold the same ambitions and goals they once had a thousand years ago, or if that has changed in the intervening years, no one really wants to risk meeting one. And so the same fear that people had for them still holds today, even more so as the people of today have imagined all the worst and terrible things of a people not seen in a thousand years.   Have they changed? Do they still want the same things? Or perhaps now they are finally ready to make friends with the rest of the world, rather than war? Maybe you can be the one to prove to the world your people have truly changed. Let us just hope the rest of the world is ready for the answers to these questions.
