Sand-Set Goblin
"This wide-ranging breed of goblins are easily distinguished from other goblins by their thin, lithe frames, long limbs and the armored carapace across the top of their heads. This armored skull-plate is made of thick plates of overlapping skin, like that of a rhinoceros and varies in color from Red and yellow to Brown and grey. They tend to inhabit caves and tunnels beneath the deserts and badlands, eking out a living by mining surface resources and foraging for food." - A census of Hijr, by Mel Atoniin, Chief Genealogist at the Spire.

Culture
Birth & Baptismal Rites
When born, a child is dedicated to the tribe as a whole, and is raised communally within the tribe. Parents have a very limited connection with their offspring, as it is seen as the job of the entire community to raise a child, not simply the parents.
Coming of Age Rites
When the Sand-Set come of age, they are subjected to a Rite of Passage. This test varies by tribe, but it usually involves a fight or test of crafting.
Funerary and Memorial customs
Funerary rites among the Sand-Set tend to be elaborate, including a community ceremony and committing the deceased back to the earth through either a pyre or burial beneath a cairn.
