The Goblin Gods

Much like everything else that defines Goblin culture and behavior, so to has their concept of religion been shaped by a childlike reinterpretation of scraps that they get living on the outskirts of civilization. Generally, while their tribes are split much like all peoples of the land when it comes to deity worship, it becomes obvious on closer inspection that the Goblin gods are almost comically twisted takes on the same figures most Astillonians follow.

As should be obvious from the descriptions of each diety, they all follow common Gobbo behavior which amounts to being self-serving, chaotic neutral to chaotic evil in morality, and are all green. Because as gobbos love to say: "Green Best Green!"
