Two of the Kech Dhakaan clans are formed entirely of golin'dar. Both are renowned for their impressive skills. The Taarka'khesh are a corps of goblin scouts trained to provide intelligence in the field during military operations. The shaarat'khesh are an elite order of spies and assassins.

By ancient tradition, the Silent Clans do not take sides in any conflict. Instead, they act as mercenaries, providing their services to all sides and fighting their own when they face one another on the battlefield. This reputation for complete impartiality and reliability has kept the khesh alive for thousands of years. A goblin that betrays it's client's secrets will be executed by their own clan. Generally speaking, one must be born into a khesh clan to learn its ways, but on rare occasions skilled goblins from other clans have gained admission to one of the Silent Clans.
