Goblinoid
The term goblinoids actually comprises three separate subspecies of creatures. There's some evidence that these peoples once moved freely between Tol and the Feywild, but it's rare to find them in the Feywild today.
Proper goblins are small, even more so than Halflingw. They breed very quickly and are known for a voracious appetite for food, land, treasure, and anything else they can get their hands on. Their skin tone tends to be yellow to reddish.
Hobgoblins are larger and more militaristic. They tend to have redder or more orange-toned skin. They tend to be leaders and organizers of their race, more apt to work together and to get other goblins to band together for a common goal. Of all three subspecies, they are the ones most commonly found in the Feywild, leading to some speculation that they may have originated there then spread into Tol and conquered their other Tol-based kin.
Bugbears are the largest of the subspecies,with yellow-brownish skin and thick fur which grows on them, including mane-like hair. They tend to be solitary bullies, except when rallied by hobgoblins to be champions and elite shock troops.
Goblinoids were believed to be native to Aldorath, and they once claimed much of the northeastern, central, and eastern lands for their own. Some evidence now points towards a possible originating point in the Feywild. Their Aldoth lands had diminished by the time of the First Conclave of the Seven Kingdoms, both from Human and Orcish encroachment. They joined the alliance as the kingdom of Gristamere, and they reluctantly accepted that the Hastane and Summerlings had a right to lands they themselves had once occupied. It may be resentment from these times that ultimately led to them joining forces with the Witch Queen in the Second Witching War. This act caused the splintering of the Seven Kingdoms, from which it has still not recovered.
