Goblins
Goblins are a species of small humanoids that originate from the Land of Faerie, they are a member of the Goblinoid family, sharing a common ancestor with Bugbear and Hobgoblins.
Goblins are naturally chaotic and mischievous, they are known to be loud and boisterous, with many of them having a short temper. Goblins are also generally quite stealthy in nature, and light footed, making them great thieves, with many Goblins gravitating towards more shady business, their reputation as a people baring them from other lines of work.
Like all Goblinoids, Goblins often face prejudice due to their association with violent Goblinoid tribes, especially in Terrasmus. Goblins are also stereotyped as greedy, with a reputation for being sly con artists.
Goblins can be found all over Exorsia, while some Goblins live in multicultural humanoid settlements, many live in Goblin tribes on the fringes of society, either in deep woodland or subterranean tunnels, scavenging what they can or being led by whoever the scariest or strongest thing around is. Other Goblin live as part of large Goblinoid warbands, particularly within Terrasmus where they serve under Hobgoblins warlords.
