Goblin King
Those Practitioners that work with Goblins. Technically a female Goblin King is called a Goblin Queen but forget that.
Methodology
The focus of a Goblin King's magic is to offend people others and get in the enemy's way. It deals with conflict and gaining tools.<ref>Goblins
Goblin magic is, well, offensive, and not simply in the ‘aggressive’ sense of the word. The most powerful goblin magic aims simply to hamper the enemy more than it does the practitioner. Earning the respect of goblin enables them to be claimed as followers or as prizes, with conquered goblins becoming tools or (more frequently) weapons the practitioner can collect and use. - Pact Dice: The Practices - Wbow Version</ref> These include a wide variety of goblin items and weapons that the practitioner can use in addition to being able to force Goblins into a tool or weapon form for the practitioner to use.<ref>

- Titface is a Warrens Runner. A goblin princess specializing in the exploration, mapping, and nuances of the Warrens, she created her Demesne as something unbounded. Taking the largely unclaimed Warrens as hers, she leaves the Demesne undefended and free for others to take or alter as they see fit. For the most part, the oldest parts of it crumble beneath the weight of vandalism and the attentions of bottom-tier goblins as she claims new territory, making it hers with ‘Titface’ insignia graffiti and the help of her ‘crowd’. Her Demesne is fluid in a way a non-Realms practitioner could not manage, but the expansion of it is largely dependent on the existence, support, help, and goodwill of the crowd of goblins that follow her for her excellent parties and demeanor. It dwindles when she stumbles on an ancient goblin and twenty of her ‘crowd’ die, and it grows when she does something sufficiently wild or reckless. - quoted from Demesnes: A Place of One’s Own.</ref>

Trivia
- Reason for choosing King rather than Queen
- Firstly, king is derived from a Norse word that means "ruler of Man" Man in the sense of people over just those with dicks. As such the term was originally gender neutral and thus fits with this article.
- Secondly, the background of sexism in the tradition bound world of Pact makes the choice of title apt.
- Thirdly, suck it it's about Goblins.
