Havel Interlude - Longnight/Havel_Xmas2

Sat, 20 Dec 2025

The other goblin, Zascuque, isn't actually his mom. Goblin clans raise children communally so the blood connection isn't really emphasized more than anyone else of the parent's generation. The closest translation is that she's Havel's "aunt". As Havel was always a weird introverted goblet from his clan of extroverted crafters, Zascuque ended up being his primary caregiveer as the only other introvert in the clan. And since she was the clan hunter, it ended up really shaping his future.

Zascuque is also based on a pawn from Rimworld, who was the sort of crazy aunt of the group and also dedicated hunter. Not only did she donate the name to Havel's aunt but a bunch of design elements too.
