Hobgoblin

Hobgoblins are a fierce and proud goblinoid race that has had to be flexible over the ages to survive.  Often leading less intelligent goblinoids, Hobgoblins have constantly had to broker deals, serve with guile, or otherwise be useful for a variety of harsh and dominant masters over the last two empires.
Free from the yoke of slavery and domination now, most Hobgoblins have found they are not wanted in civilized areas, at least in groups, as to survive they often had to become useful to the winning sides of conflicts.  To this day they are still seen as the discarded pawns of Dragonlords and Elves by those with long memories or fierce grudges.
Most Hobgoblins continue to try and make a living through warfare, using their influence over other goblinoids to form Caveorths only real standing mercenary units.  Most standing armies are far to expensive to equip and maintain, with most nations only able to summon levies or defend itself through feudal obligations.  This makes the hiring of goblin mercenaries an effective option for rulers with more money than men, and it is not uncommon for two goblinoid armies to fight each other, both as proxies for their different employers.
