Civilization and Culture

History

Like all Goblinoids the history of the Goblin is mared and tied to the creation of the Orcs and Elves. When The Archheart Corellon and The Storm General Kord injured one another and their blood bathed some mortals creating their respective races there were some who were bathed in both. The first goblins were such mortals. Bathed more in Corellon's blood than Kords, Goblins inhearited his love for fervality. 
Less disaplined then their Hobgoblins cusins but more techinical than their the Bugbears they had a tanacity that made them effective. This along with their knack for finding adventure and truble made them and counterpart of the Halflings . Both haveing a freindly rivaly that is sometimes mockingly results in calling Goblins "mini Orcs". 
Like all goblinoids, Goblins have no one diety that they pray to above anyother. Though many have taken to worshiping elven and orc deities because of their conection to the two but their are three beings they are aware of two of which some openly pray to the other is one they are warry of. Maglubiyet the former beastmaster of Kord sees to make Goblins into litle more than his private hunters. A Cursed Diseases exists among Goblins that can even infect Bugbears and Hobs breaking their minds and truly turning them into feral creatures.
