"The Goblins' dreaded War Drums struck terror into the hearts of even their bravest foes."
――Sarpadian Empires, vol. IV
The War Drums enabled Goblin and Orcish armies to crush the sparsely defended Dwarven cities.
When creating a new War Drum, Goblin designers sought out the highest quality skulls. Serra Angel skulls were most highly prized, although most acknowledged that the skull of the exotic Sea Serpent made for a richer tone.
"Defending the outer trenches, we strained our eyes in the darkness. All we could hear was the Drums' terrible pounding. Dobbs, on my right, broke first. Soon, we were all heading for the walls."
――Corporal Peter Douglas, courtmartial testimony
耳を聾するときの声とともに、ゴブリンどもが突進してきた。が、それはまったく無意味なときの声だった――おかげで、ウォー・ドラムの音が聞こえなくなっていたのだから！
――傭兵、リーオッド・ダイ
"Goblins charge with a deafening war cry. The cry doesn't mean anything――it just drowns out the drums!"
――Reod Dai, mercenary
音楽とは棒で何かを叩くことだと、ゴブリンどもは思っているんだよ。
The goblin idea of music is to hit something with a stick.
彼らの鼓膜はダメになったようだが、他はその気配もない。
Their eardrums may have given out, but the rest of them never will.
