Goblins

An ambitious, plucky race making their mark on Timor

Goblins are small humanoids who were previously thought only to lair in caves, abandoned mines and despoiled dungeons. They had been considered as wholly uncivilised and selfish with black hearts.
This perception has been challenged, particularly recently, as the goblin race has come into their own and made their influence known in the world. They have a special cunning and survivability, and are strong despite their small size.
The meteoric rise of goblin civilisation began with the mass enslavement of goblins and half-orcs north of Korosk, when they were used as suicide squads and meat shields during Invasion of Warchief Drebok. The cunning and ingenuity of one goblin named Gimbeltrex, along with the martial prowess and strength of a half-orc named Urkol, led to a slave revolt which ultimately saved the dwarves and ended the tyranny of Warchief Drebok.
In an act of gratitude, King Volshek Korosk gifted the goblins and Half - Orcs the island of Ordash.
Here, Gimbeltrex established The Free Port of Goldack, and the goblins began their new history.
