Hobgoblin

Hobgoblins are a race of goblinoids who, along with goblins and bugbears, originated in Khorvaire . They are called the ghaal'dar, or "mighty people", in their own tongue. They are a clever, strong, and disciplined race with perhaps a tendency to cruelty. Their intelligence and strength, as well as their organizational skills, make them the natural leaders of the goblinoid races.

The hobgoblins of Eberron have a keen artistic and crafting sense and are expert stonemasons and weapon and armorsmiths, with the Dhakaani superior in skill to House Cannith. The hobgoblins are also excellent miners and their byeshk mines during the height of the Dhakaani Empire made it possible to make weapons capable of holding back the armies of Xoriat.
