== Cuimrech ==
A type of divine [[goblin]] that act as servants for certain [[god]]s, leaving around dead animals in the hopes that mortals will notice and start leaving sacrifices.<ref>“…think I’d peg your bunny-ears goblin as a cuimrech,” Liberty was saying.<br>[...]<br>“Gods like having servants, and really raw, rough, minor gods used to take these goblin-cousins as servants if they couldn’t get humans.  You’d get a lot of them in caves and stuff, building shrines out of bones and whatever.  They lurk and hunt and carry a kind of protection from those without Sight, but they’d spend it and lose that protection for a while in order to leave ominous signs and dead animals lying around.”<br><br>America added, “Leaving dead animals and ominous bloody signs by doorways to lay the breadcrumbs to lead people to the dark crevice or whatever with a whispering god inside.  Ideal situation being that the humans start sacrificing animals to the god or whatever.”<br><br>Liberty nodded.  “It sounds neanderthal but they still exist, they still do this in rural areas, even today.  Numbers get thinner.  But there’s always a market for a sniveling, groveling little handservant to the gods.  I guess your Carmine found him and put him to work?” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/10/10 Excerpt] from [[In Absentia 21.2]]</ref> They can also make shrines to channel [[divine]] power.<ref><br><br>“And the nests?” Verona asked.<br><br>“I think those were actually shrines.  It’s tempting to think that has something to do with where goblins come from, but in this case, it’s just a shrine made to channel a source of divine power into creating more.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/10/10/ Excerpt] from [[In Absentia 21.2]]</ref>
