Hobgoblin
Hobgoblins are a sentient Half-Breed racecomprised of one Skaldoran human mother and a Goblin father. They and other hybrid goblinoids are only recently recognized as distinct races, as they did not exist in great numbers until relatively recently following the relocation of Goblins to Giant's Leap and the Empire's experimentation with all Goblinkind. A majority of Hobgoblins are born in Fort Viridian, and many never leave.

Naming Traditions
Hobgoblins born in Fort Viridian are assigned a designation once it becomes clear they will survive to adulthood. These are a combination of letters and numbers determined by their housing block and goblin parent. As more and more Hobgoblins move to Imperial cities and are born outside of the fort, they have struggled with creating a racial identity for themselves, and as such have adopted or invented a wide variety of names with no set pattern. Many such Hobgoblins choose to create a name for themselves based on their designation, a practice that originated from Legionnaires finding saying a designation tedious and giving their Hobgoblin bandmates nicknames for casual use.
