Here I will describe a major organization of my campaign, the Great Goblin Hordes. The Great Goblin Hordes may a great enemy all the way to about level 15. The GGH in my world are backed by a powerful supernatural being and despise the fey so conversion may be needed if you use them.
The Great Goblin Hordes is a collection of 5 large roaming armies of goblinkind. These dangerous nomads move from place to place to collect resources for the sacred mission: conquering of the fey. Backed by a godly ally, the Great Goblin Hordes take lands to fuel their wars with the fey.
Although nomadic, the hordes move very slowly. They are often too large to move with a major city to claim as their home. A horde will take a city and build until they are ready to strike an elven kingdom or drow empire. They use extreme military discipline to establish the control needed to feed and arm their armies.
The largest of the hordes is the Blackhair Horde. Unlike the other hordes, they are allowed to raise non-goblins to ranks other than slave. Humans, shifters, and orcs are often found in their tents. Blackhairs are brutal and rely on their numbers to stomp their enemies into dust. Blackhair Horde is in charge of feeding and arming the other hordes after deafeat or when conquered lands are stripped dry.
The Redhair Horde is the most barbaric and primal of the hordes. This is mostly due to their bugbear leadership. Theses are explorers of the Goblin Hordes and are often sent first when war is declared by the Horde Cheiftans to break fortified lands. Goblins of other hordes found to be too wild to control are sent to the Redhairs to fight.
The Goldhair are the most elite of the Great Goblin Hordes. Those fewest in number, Goldhair warriors are the strongest and most religous of the Hordes. Goldhair priests are able to bind angels to the spirts of their warriors so they can transform into flying death machines. They are charge with dealing with the most powerful enemies.
The Ghosthair Horde is made of almost a quarter undead. They are as bald as they are cunning. Most Ghosthairs are trained in some necromancy. They attack orges, giants, trolls, onis, and other larger beings to raise their corpses as huge warriors. The Ghosthair are called in when a fortress is well fortified.
The Whitehair Horde is mostly found underground and are tasked to destroy the drow and fomorians. Their long bleached hair is often the last thing many drow see before death. Tehir blades are made to kill fey in the dark.
