Goblin cloak colors

[Finagle]

I'm still rather fuzzy on what the various colors of goblin cloaks mean. Has the comic ever addressed this directly, other than the red artifact cloak? Was I just supposed to figure it out somehow?

[Gift Jeraff]

For goblins (not hobgoblins), whitecloaks are the lowest ranking clerics, as per SoD. Greycloaks are higher rank clerics.

For hobgoblins, bluecloaks are clerics and browncloaks are wizards. Jirix has a unique darker blue cloak, and the late Hobgoblin General had a unique purple cloak.

[Oscaver]

Pretty sure the ranks go something like this:
Redcloak
Dark blue cloak
blue cloak
brown cloak
whitecloak

There is also Gray (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0093.html)-cloaks (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0107.html).

Different goblinoids, different method of casting, thus different heirarchy.

Cloaks By Role:
Red Cloak: High Priest of the Dark One (any goblinoid)
Dark Blue Cloak: Unique to Jirix
Blue Cloak: Priest of the Dark One (hobgoblin)
Gray Cloak: Priest of the Dark One (goblin)
White Cloak: Acolyte of the Dark One (goblin)
Brown Cloak: Arcane Spellcaster (hobgoblin)

Cloaks by Rank (speculation):

Red Cloak

Dark Blue Cloak

Also, the former Supreme Leader had a sort of turquoise-colored cloak. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0149.html)

Yes, but that's probably not the same thing (and it's been mentioned before).

:smallconfused:

If you're saying something about the former Supreme Leader being the same hobgoblin as the General... that's not what I meant to imply. What I was trying to do was point out that the Supreme Leader wasn't the only color-cloaked non-spellcaster among the comic's goblinoids. :smallwink:

[ti'esar]

No, I meant that it had been literally mentioned before in this thread:


the late Hobgoblin General had a unique purple cloak.

And I'm honestly confused by the rest of your post - all I was saying is that I doubt the general's cloak relates to the rest, given its different design (longer, no ragged edges) and the fact that he doesn't seem to have been a spellcaster (the Supreme Leader most likely was, just lower-level).

[Emperordaniel]

I probably missed that part of Gift Jiraff's post then, as I just noticed it now. In that case, just ignore what I wrote in the above post, as it was around 2:00 AM when I typed it (and was obviously more than a little tired). :smallredface:
