Goblins

Home

Goblins, descendants of Hobgoblins, are native to the dense Aboloan Forest, where they have devolved into a more tribal society. Their connection to the forest provides them with the means to survive, but it also leaves them vulnerable to exploitation by slavers and tyrants. Displaced from their ancestral homes, Goblins struggle to find stability and are often forced into cycles of poverty and violence.
Ethnicity Goblins retain some of the physical features of their Hobgoblin and Elven ancestors, though they have adapted to be smaller and more tribal in appearance. Their skin ranges from grey to green, and they are short in stature, with remnants of elven features. Despite their size and circumstances, Goblins still wear cultural garb reminiscent of their Hobgoblin ancestors, albeit smaller and simpler due to their reduced societal structure.
Religion Due to their displacement and vulnerability, Goblins do not have a unified religious practice. Their tribal nature often leads them to adopt the beliefs of whatever region or ruler controls them, making them highly susceptible to manipulation by evil forces. However, in territories where Goblins are more accepted, they may integrate into the local religious practices, demonstrating loyalty and adaptability in spiritual matters.
Intelligence Goblins, despite their circumstances, are resilient and resourceful. While they may not have retained a similar brilliance of their Hobgoblin ancestors, they possess a keen survival instinct and are highly adaptable to their environment. their brilliance, compared to the their hobgoblin relatives, is that while there tactical thinking is lesser they mechanical thinking far surpasses their kin. It is not uncommon for goblin camps to have workshops, refered to as mechanics shops. Unfortunately, their intelligence is often overlooked due to the stigma and discrimination they face, though in societies where they are accepted, their loyalty and ingenuity shine through.
Appearance Goblins are short, with skin tones ranging from grey to green. They share some features with their Hobgoblin ancestors, including hair growth patterns and cultural garb, though their appearance is more rugged and adapted to their forest surroundings. Their stature and appearance often make them targets for discrimination, contributing to their marginalized status in many societies.
Tradition The tribal nature of Goblin society has led to the preservation of some cultural practices, though these traditions are often disrupted by external forces seeking to exploit them. In regions where Goblins are accepted, they integrate into the local culture and serve with loyalty, becoming model citizens. However, in most cases, their traditions are overshadowed by the harsh realities of poverty and violence, as they struggle to survive in a world that often views them as expendable labor.
