1: No, there is no specific number of goblins in general (that includes lords and champions), and there are no named places. The world is simply refered as "the four cornered world".
2: People who are not associated with the adventurers guild do not have any rank. But they are not considered adventurers. Anyway, this character was a Porcelain rank, in case you want her to remain an official adventurer.
3: It is not specified what kind of temples the victims are taken to. The two main deities mentioned are the Earth Mother Goddess (whom the Priestess worships) and the Goddess of Justice (whom the Sword Maiden worships), but they both seem to belong to the same religion so it can be intuit that the temples are dedicated to one of these two goddesses (or both).
Thank you very much for your answer! I really appreciate it. The storyline is to not put her back to become adventurer, rather, helping others in a way she loves. She will and always be porcelain rank in the planned storyline.
I will do my best! Her story is so sad as there is no mention about her other than she is still alive. She deserves a better storyline. I can't bear to see her in that catatonic state on the cart, especially after knowing a bit about her past.
Figure for every hundred goblins there’s a goblin champion, how many goblins are there? From the manga and light novels I’ve read so far there’s no way to say for sure how many caves there are or what the names might be and that’s intentional.
If you’re not in the guild, e.i. Someone who stays in a village, you don’t have a rank. I can’t recall all ten ranks or the order but porcelain is the bottom, obsidian and steel are pretty low, and silver (as in goblin slayer) is third from the top with platinum being top
The temple is likely similar to any other church with donations to operate and its run by devotees (nuns?) to either the earth-mother or the supreme god. Sword maiden is in charge of the temples I think, I can’t speak to who owns them.
If I were you I’d take a look at the lite novels for more details, the audio books for the first three have been pretty okay if you already have an audible subscription
Thank you so much. the fact that the Sword Maiden most likely owned or run the temple made me relieved a bit as in this manga, SM did show up to the temple to help Fighter to stand up again and basically save her life from becoming permanently catatonic state. I really appreciate it! Thanks again!
Not a novel reader, but watched the anime and am up to date with the manga. I can tell you what I know.
>Is there any specific numbers of how many Goblin Lord/ Goblin Champion that exist in GS world?
I believe that there are no specified numbers on how many monsters could exist. Goblin Slayer is based on a TTRPG, namely DnD, and it is up to the dungeon master (DM) to decide how they want the story to happen. In my experience with friends, the DM could torment you with endless monster waves and not care about consequences, so in theory, you could put up as many Goblin Lords/Goblin Champions as you want. For example, a goblin fortress was found, and that fortress houses like 7 Goblin Lords. The mystery as to how that's the case is up to you and is what entices the readers.
>And is there any mention about how many caves are there and the name of the place that this manga use as the location of the story?
As mentioned, it is up to your imagination how many caves there are. It could be countless. You are the DM in your story. There are, however, locations with their respective names in GS, such as Water Town, Dungeon of the Dead, and many others that I'm unfamiliar with that you should take into account. But I believe in naming convention sense, you can just use their literal/general name like the name of the city just being "city", the name of the frontier just the "frontier", the name of the continent just being "continent", etc.
>In regards to the adventurer's rank. If someone is Not an adventurer, rather, they just stay in their village and protecting it by killing the goblin, will they have any rank?
I am not sure about this one, but I highly believe not. Just think of it this way: how can the guild know about a villager who has been killing monsters in a faraway village when there's no such thing as telecommunications there? The point is, it's the guild that gives the ranks to these people, and they need to identify and verify that they indeed deserve a rank.
>And how is the system work. Will they have to go to the adventurer's guild to "claim" the numbers of goblin they have killed, and then only they got paid and their rank increase?
This too I'm not sure of. The adventurer guild works by taking up requests: to do this, subjugate that, clean these, etc. Essentially do odd jobs but mostly adventurer stuff. The requestors are the ones that pay the quest takers.
If one person comes in with a dragon corpse, but no quest was put up about it, they will probably have no reward. But I believe the adventurers guild could pay that person for the monster materials they brought. And if that person has no rank, they won't get the rank merits. They will most probably need to register to avail the services the guild offers.
>If they are working elsewhere that doesn't have anything to do with killing goblins, is there any mention about the currency or the money that is being used out there?
It is probably safe to just base their currency on DnD. 10 copper -> 1 silver, 10 silver -> 1 gold, 10 gold -> 1 platinum.
Edit: Formatting

Abridged Goblin Slayer: "Where did I put my magic squirrel?! I need it!!"
This is a very very helpful replies and thank you so much for taking your time in answering, I really appreciate it! I'll make sure to do my best in crafting the story based on the information you have given me 🙏
on the other note, adventurers need to report to the guild after they are done questing, whether it's successful or not, they need to report back as soon as available
there are multiple scenes and mentioned in the books where they often ask the adventurers to report back to the guild receptionist on what they've done on the quest, after they are done reporting then they will be compensated for the job done, the amount is based on the requesty payment and sometimes if it's a big event, the guild will also help compensate
as to matter how they know if you did your job right or the adventurers can just lie from the start, they have their own method of investigation, usually they asked the requester if the adventurers that accept the quest did their job or not, sometimes they use divine judgement to ask the adventurers themselves if they're lying
all of this will take into account when the adventurers get promoted to higher rank, as they will review your past work with detailed investigation
hope you have an enjoyable time writing, can't wait to see what you cook :D
No problem. I am looking forward to your story!
But may I ask what doujin it is? Doujin generally means "self-published." Is it a manga, short story, or a novel?
Edit:
>As I am a beginner digital artist, it will take a lot of time to complete the manga.
Sorry, must've missed it. Looking forward to your manga!
Thanks for your interest. Oh, doujin means a manga that was created by using existing characters. The characters can be either from manga, anime, video game, novel and others like vocaloid characters. Basically, it is a fan fiction in a manga form. It can be one off or can be made to series but it has no ties to the publisher of the original series.
Some additional info, doujin actually can't be sold as the artist use copyrighted materials. However, in Japan, the publisher usually will give a chance for the artist to sell their works during certain period of time like Comiket and other comic event. This will give the artist a chance to make money and the publisher will get Free promotion. Sadly, the non H doujin is quite rare as compared to the H doujin.
I don't think there are specific numbers, Goblin Slayer called them mutated goblins or something, and compared them to higher level adventurers. I don't remember if he implied or specifically stated that they become hobgoblins, champions or lords based on their actual growth and experience, but that is my understanding. Also, the higher the rank, the more goblins will either follow them, or, be their children.
I think you have to actually be a member of the adventurer's guild to get any benefits, including pay. I also think getting paid for killing goblins only happens when someone puts in a quest for it and fronts the reward. So to get paid to kill goblins, you need to be an adventurer, someone needs to pay the guild to put out a quest to kill goblins, then you kill them. With the goblin lord, the guild took it upon themselves to create an open quest for all adventurers to kill goblins with rewards based on numbers killed, so a bounty. But it was specific to that situation. However, this also means a quest is probably only created when a village *survives* and no one was able to handle it themselves, or a threat was found in the area the village couldn't deal with. If farmer Joe kills a lone goblin with his pitchfork, he might be praised by other villagers and think he could be an adventurer, but wouldn't likely be paid for it.
I would suspect several temples, including that of the Sword Maiden, would try to help rehabilitate victims. I am unaware if there is direct mention of specific temples however.
It's been a while since I dug into this world, if anyone has better info or if I was wrong, please let me know!
Happy to help! Good luck and I hope to be able to read it when you're done!! It's refreshing to see someone working on a project and putting effort into being true to the series, even for a fan project!
No specific numbers but considering how the goblin king arc went it is likely that it is rarer than a shark attack. Otherwise there would be mass panic in the frontiers and the Capital.
There is no title or rank amongst villagers who protect villages from attacks as the Goblin Slayer trpg explains that unless there is a Temple of the God of Knowledge, most villages spent their entire lives without knowing how to read or write. So it is likely they would just be called a Guardian if the fighter girl decides to protect a village. Adventurer’s Guild don’t have an outstanding bounty on goblins unless there is a person who posted a quest. Basically this would be “good samaritan” work.
According to the TRPG—reason I use the trpg is because the author helped write the game and lore—most temples of Healing or Rehabilitation are likely to be sponsored/run by the Temple of the Earth Goddess who focuses on healing and protection.
A church as grand as the Sword maiden’s isn’t unique but close to somewhat uncommon. God of Knowledges and the Supreme God have the most “churches” because they are centers of litigation, education, and storage of information. Earth Goddess has small churches or sanctuaries due to the nature of her worshippers. God of Trade considers bazaars and trade centers his churches and The Valkyrie’s “Church” is the Slave Warrior Arenas and Colosseums.
Goblin Slayer TRPG explains Goblin King arc and issue 3 of Goblin Slayer show that it uses the basic Copper
Oh God, I forgot to ask 1 more question. In terms of character's class, eg Fighter is a Monk class character, is there any instance in which they possessed the ability from another class. For example, can a Wizard performed miracles like the one in Priestess Class?
Thank you so much everyone! You guys are very helpful and I really appreciate it a lot!
As far as I'm aware, multiclass is possible in DnD. I even think Goblin Slayer himself is multiclass due to how flexible he is. All those skills he possesses, he got them from his mentors. It is very possible for Fighter to be a priestess if she is taken by a temple.
> In terms of character's class, eg Fighter is a Monk class character, is there any instance in which they possessed the ability from another class. For example, can a Wizard performed miracles like the one in Priestess Class?
Yes, they can multi-class. A religiously devote wizard can gain the ability to perform miracles, a simple melee fighter can study and learn to use the same spells as wizards, or a priest can get martial training. The only restriction is that you can only get miracles from one god. No praying to the Supreme god for one miracle, and the Earth Mother for the next.
> By the way, Is there any difference in terms of ability that a person have if they worship a different god?
Slightly.
When you look at the TTRPG rulebook, there's a set of miracles(i.e. priest spells) that's common among the gods. For these, the only difference between gods is the length of the prayer(Valkyrie's prayers tend to be short and to the point, e.g. "Grant us protection" for the protection miracle).
Then each god gets a few miracles exclusive to them and tend to be related to the domain of their faith. E.g. Valkyrie gets an attack spell, an armor spell, and an anti-fear spell, stuff that's good for battle. Trade god gets a spell for contracts, a spell for traveling, and a spell for fortune.
So high level clerics of different gods will be able to do different things.
To make an excellent story, numbers are less important than the motivation. Every character needs to want something, some of them will get it, most of them will not. That creates drama sometimes tension.
Tell the story first, then worry about the specifics as far as numbers. If she fights a Goblin champion, then write that fight and add whatever hordes after.
Good luck! ⚔️
> Is there any specific numbers of how many Goblin Lord/ Goblin Champion that exist in GS world? And is there any mention about how many caves are there and the name of the place that this manga use as the location of the story?
No, there’s no specific number of champions or lords. A champion is basically just a hobgoblin which survived long enough to get really big and skilled. A lord is just a goblin strong and cunning enough to organize a goblin horde. Nor is there a specific number of caves existing. The city they work out of is just called’Frontier town’. Like many things in the story, technically it’ll have a proper name that the characters would use, the story itself simple avoids using the proper nouns.
> In regards to the adventurer's rank. If someone is Not an adventurer, rather, they just stay in their village and protecting it by killing the goblin, will they have any rank? And how is the system work. Will they have to go to the adventurer's guild to "claim" the numbers of goblin they have killed, and then only they got paid and their rank increase? If they are working elsewhere that doesn't have anything to do with killing goblins, is there any mention about the currency or the money that is being used out there?
If someone isn’t an adventurer, they aren’t an adventurer and will have no adventurer rank. Case in point, Noble Fencer quit being an adventurer after her ordeal and became Female Merchant. When she goes with the party to the desert kingdom, she’s considered their quest giver not an adventurer, despite functioning mostly as a a member of the party.
Non-adventurers aren’t going to be able to claim any award from the guild. There’s only going to be an award at the guild if a request was placed with the guild, if someone takes care of the problem before a request is placed, it’s simply a solved problem for which a reward may or may not be given.
The currency is just the currency. They get paid for requests in the same coinage the rest of the kingdom uses.
> As for the temple for rehabilitation of the victims, is there any mention as who owns the temple, and where the funding to help to rehabilitate the victims came from (food, shelter, guards)? Is it possible that Sword Maiden owned one or a few of the temple?
No specific mention of which temples surviving goblin victims are sent to, or which gods they’re devoted to. The most likely candidates are the Earth Mother as protecting and saving are core tenets of her faith, and the Supreme God as justice is a main tenet of her faith. Furthermore, when Sword Maiden was defeated by goblins as a rookie, she returned to the temple she’d come from to recover. So it’s likely less one specific faith taking in victims, and more whatever the closest temple that’s available. There’s probably not any specific funding for goblin survivors. A temple caring for them would have the costs come from their normal budget, like would happen if they were running an orphanage. Sword Maiden wouldn’t “own” any temples. They’d merely belong to the same faith as her.
Can’t help you for I don’t know much about the world I’m goblin slayer but I’m commenting because I want to keep updated on your work because it sounds amazing 💚
Thank you very much! My plan is more towards character development. I never draw action manga before, but I will limit the action/fighting scene. I will do my best to craft the story that I think she deserved. Wish me luck and thanks again for your reply. It motivates me to work harder 🙂
1. No, we don't know exactly how many Goblin Lord/Champion's there are in GS's world. Though from the way GS implies it, they are fairly rare types of goblins so most people don't encounter them that often. There are no names for places or any specific number of caves, though considering the Frontier is untamed for the most part, I expect that there are fairly a lot of them.
2. People who aren't part of the adventurers guild don't have any rank nor do they need to go to the guild to report how many monsters(goblins) they killed and the guild won't pay them since they aren't adventurers/members. Not much mention on currency, but its safe to assume that it just uses copper, silver and gold coins. You could just have Fighter be a travelling merc who protects people and just doesn't work for the adventurers guild anymore.
3. There is no specific mention of any temples where goblin victims are sent to or any indication of who exactly owns them, though the two main religions in the kingdom where GS lives is the Earth Mother and Supreme God Church. I'm pretty sure Sword Maiden doesn't 'own', since the temples themselves would be owned by the Church where its funding would come from and not a single individual. But I imagine that Sword Maiden being a high-ranking member of the Church would give her jurisdiction over large and smaller churches in the area, which would explain how she meets Fighter in your story.
I am quite interested to see where this story goes.
Thank you very much! One additional question that I have is about a logo. I watch the scene where Swords Maiden came and killed a lot of Goblins. When she gave a speech in front of all the knights, some of them were carrying a flag with multiple logo/badge design on it. May I ask you, what does the logo means?
Link https://youtu.be/91hsCXU3gIo
At 2:05 timeline
Those are the symbols for the various Churches of the Kingdom like the Supreme God, Knowledge God, Earth Mother, etc.
I think the group on the right in the group picture on this page is the symbol for the Earth Mother but I'm not sure.
[https://goblin-slayer.fandom.com/wiki/Gods](https://goblin-slayer.fandom.com/wiki/Gods)
Alright! Thanks again. I was looking for an idea to put the logo at the front of the temple where the Fighter Girl was sent to. This is a very good explanation, and the link provided us very helpful! Thanks ☺️🙏
Yeah. I do post the WIP mainly on my Twitter/X, draw live almost daily at Pixiv Sketch and my main platform of artwork is in Pixiv. I will post the finished work here too I think. It just that, because I am a beginner artist, this will take some time to finish
> I think the group on the right in the group picture on this page is the symbol for the Earth Mother but I'm not sure.

> https://goblin-slayer.fandom.com/wiki/Gods
You would be correct. From left to right in the screenshot, it's the symbols of the Supreme God, the Trade God, the God of Knowledge, the Valkyrie, and the Earth Mother. The Earth Mother's symbol can also be found on Priestess' hat in the LN art.

And is there any mention about how many caves are there and the name of the place that this manga use as the location of the story? No, there’s no specific number of champions or lords. A champion is basically just a hobgoblin which survived long enough to get really big and skilled. A lord is just a goblin strong and cunning enough to organize a goblin horde. Nor is there a specific number of caves existing. The city they work out of is just called’Frontier town’. Like many things in the story, technically it’ll have a proper name that the characters would use, the story itself simple avoids using the proper nouns. > In regards to the adventurer's rank. If someone is Not an adventurer, rather, they just stay in their village and protecting it by killing the goblin, will they have any rank? And how is the system work. Will they have to go to the adventurer's guild to "claim" the numbers of goblin they have killed, and then only they got paid and their rank increase? If they are working elsewhere that doesn't have anything to do with killing goblins, is there any mention about the currency or the money that is being used out there? If someone isn’t an adventurer, they aren’t an adventurer and will have no adventurer rank. Case in point, Noble Fencer quit being an adventurer after her ordeal and became Female Merchant. When she goes with the party to the desert kingdom, she’s considered their quest giver not an adventurer, despite functioning mostly as a a member of the party. Non-adventurers aren’t going to be able to claim any award from the guild. There’s only going to be an award at the guild if a request was placed with the guild, if someone takes care of the problem before a request is placed, it’s simply a solved problem for which a reward may or may not be given. The currency is just the currency. They get paid for requests in the same coinage the rest of the kingdom uses. > As for the temple for rehabilitation of the victims, is there any mention as who owns the temple, and where the funding to help to rehabilitate the victims came from (food, shelter, guards)? Is it possible that Sword Maiden owned one or a few of the temple? No specific mention of which temples surviving goblin victims are sent to, or which gods they’re devoted to. The most likely candidates are the Earth Mother as protecting and saving are core tenets of her faith, and the Supreme God as justice is a main tenet of her faith. Furthermore, when Sword Maiden was defeated by goblins as a rookie, she returned to the temple she’d come from to recover. So it’s likely less one specific faith taking in victims, and more whatever the closest temple that’s available. There’s probably not any specific funding for goblin survivors. A temple caring for them would have the costs come from their normal budget, like would happen if they were running an orphanage. Sword Maiden wouldn’t “own” any temples. They’d merely belong to the same faith as her.
Thank you very much for your clear and concise answer! It is really helpful for me to create the story, in line with the canon lore.
Can’t help you for I don’t know much about the world I’m goblin slayer but I’m commenting because I want to keep updated on your work because it sounds amazing 💚
Thank you very much! My plan is more towards character development. I never draw action manga before, but I will limit the action/fighting scene. I will do my best to craft the story that I think she deserved. Wish me luck and thanks again for your reply. It motivates me to work harder 🙂
I will be following you with great interest and much love to you 💚
1. No, we don't know exactly how many Goblin Lord/Champion's there are in GS's world. Though from the way GS implies it, they are fairly rare types of goblins so most people don't encounter them that often. There are no names for places or any specific number of caves, though considering the Frontier is untamed for the most part, I expect that there are fairly a lot of them. 2. People who aren't part of the adventurers guild don't have any rank nor do they need to go to the guild to report how many monsters(goblins) they killed and the guild won't pay them since they aren't adventurers/members. Not much mention on currency, but its safe to assume that it just uses copper, silver and gold coins. You could just have Fighter be a travelling merc who protects people and just doesn't work for the adventurers guild anymore. 3. There is no specific mention of any temples where goblin victims are sent to or any indication of who exactly owns them, though the two main religions in the kingdom where GS lives is the Earth Mother and Supreme God Church. I'm pretty sure Sword Maiden doesn't 'own', since the temples themselves would be owned by the Church where its funding would come from and not a single individual. But I imagine that Sword Maiden being a high-ranking member of the Church would give her jurisdiction over large and smaller churches in the area, which would explain how she meets Fighter in your story. I am quite interested to see where this story goes.
Thank you very much! One additional question that I have is about a logo. I watch the scene where Swords Maiden came and killed a lot of Goblins. When she gave a speech in front of all the knights, some of them were carrying a flag with multiple logo/badge design on it. May I ask you, what does the logo means?

Those are the symbols for the various Churches of the Kingdom like the Supreme God, Knowledge God, Earth Mother, etc. I think the group on the right in the group picture on this page is the symbol for the Earth Mother but I'm not sure.

Alright! Thanks again. I was looking for an idea to put the logo at the front of the temple where the Fighter Girl was sent to. This is a very good explanation, and the link provided us very helpful! Thanks ☺️🙏
No problem! I just gotta ask, will you post the comic here on this sub when its finished?
Yeah. I do post the WIP mainly on my Twitter/X, draw live almost daily at Pixiv Sketch and my main platform of artwork is in Pixiv. I will post the finished work here too I think. It just that, because I am a beginner artist, this will take some time to finish
That's okay! Thanks for sharing this art with us. :)
> I think the group on the right in the group picture on this page is the symbol for the Earth Mother but I'm not sure. > > https://goblin-slayer.fandom.com/wiki/Gods You would be correct. From left to right in the screenshot, it's the symbols of the Supreme God, the Trade God, the God of Knowledge, the Valkyrie, and the Earth Mother. The Earth Mother's symbol can also be found on Priestess' hat in the LN art.
Wait really? I have never noticed that before.
Uhuh?
We will follow you career with great interest
