Goblins are the scourge of the lands. While many other races loathe the Goblin, they underestimate their capabilities. In history Goblins have always been seen as hoarding attackers who were only strong in numbers, however that has changed as the Goblins have begun to grow in strength and capabilities. Goblins are almost as short as a Dwarf, and have green skin and black hair. They are extremely war-like and have a very chaotic lifestyle and history. Very talented with small bladed weapons, they can also bite their prey and attack with their long nails. Their tougher than average skin gives them an advantage over many races, and the fact that they're extremely fast makes them lethal to the inexperienced victim. Goblins aren't too bright, but they have a very good sense of danger to them. However due to this lack of high intelligence, it is very hard for a Goblin to become a proficient magic user, however experienced Goblin mages usually surprise their victims to such an extent that the battle is very short.
Goblins are very close to their counterparts, the Orcs, and are quite often found living together. However they often fight amongst themselves. Goblins are also very sneaky, and love to steal things. Honor means nothing to them.
The capital city of the Goblins is Ruak, just west of the capital city of the Dragons, Draak. While Draak is very hard to get to from Ruak, every goblin knows that a Dragon will almost never pass over a goblin for lunch. For this reason, the Goblins are deathly afraid of the dragons.
Goblins are everywhere - during the Great War, they broke off from the northland areas and founded their own little cities with other members of the northland. For this reason, there is a wide variety of Goblins. The Southland goblins that live in the jungle have a different lifestyle than the northland goblins, and even look different.
Goblins also have a respect for the Orcs, whom often serve as their leaders and commanders.
I heard you were coming and I was so happy to know that. Then I heard you come in and I threw a party. Now I see you're leaving and I am sorrowed to the soul.
