Dygon occupies the central position among the eastern city-states of the Crags of Geth. Its goblins have developed an intellectual tradition unusual even by the standards of a confederation known for elaborate theatrics: they argue about the nature of things, in an organized and sustained fashion that they call philosophy.
What distinguishes Dygon from merely argumentative goblin settlements is that the arguments carry across generations. The current brood-father maintains a debating hall where formal disputants contest propositions that have been under active challenge for decades—whether a thought exists before its thinker, whether crags contain mountains or mountains contain crags, whether Griselia is eight city-states or one city-state with eight opinions. Visiting Erasnites typically find these discussions impenetrable. The Dygonites find the visitors' confusion philosophically interesting, and have several competing theories about why outsiders cannot follow the arguments. These theories are also under active dispute.
