Goblin

"Those little green men stole just about everything I have. What's worse, was when I went to the shopping district, one of those Goblin folk was selling my wife's jewelry, our clothes, and my tools. Suffice to say, the town guard had a field day."
-Gareth Managenda, a noble who almost lost everything to the Goblins.

History

Maglubiyet was a fey that lived in the Feywild. He loved taking, and often caused chaos among his fey peers. One day, Maglubiyet found out that Correllion was protecting a magic item that turned beings into gods. He and his brother Hruggek would plan and scheme to take the Artifact, successfully stealing said artifact in 310Cr. This infuriated Correllion, and in 280Cr, he and his elves would hunt down and imprison Maglubiyet. He would be judged, and in 100Cr, Correllion would execute Maglubiyet, by stabbing out his heart, and had a Hag curse his body to never be able to be resurrected. In Maglubiyet's final minutes, thanks to his Godhood, his hatred created the Goblins. They spawned from the blood from his heart, and hid from the elves in it. They hid until 60wr, where they would escape to the Material plane.
They Landed in a cave in Godsen, where they lived and reproduced in peace, until 150wr, when they couldn't feed themselves anymore due to the sheer amount of Goblins living together. Half would leave to brave the world and find a new home. The half that left would end up crossing a small Human Village, who had welcomed them with opened arms and clenched fists. The Goblins couldn't stay longer than a year, as they would constantly steal from the village. Forced out, they eventually found another home, a dense forest nearby. They lived here, and when food became scarce, instead of splitting off again, they would steal from the village. Many Goblins were caught and killed, to the point where rumors of their existence would spread, with stories of little green men who would rob people blind and leave them to die. When the Goblin tribe did split, many would be wary of them moving into nearby towns and cities.
