Hobgoblin

Hobgoblin are tall goblinoids, loosely resembling goblins, but are the complete opposite. When goblins are known to be cowardly, cowardice is more terrible to hobgoblins than dying, for they carry their living acts into the afterlife. A hero in death becomes a hero eternal. Hobgoblins hold themselves to high standards and respect the law, their law above all.
Hobgoblins have conquered the south of Green earth, and share the land only with the Loxodon and wandering clans willing to pay for passage. Their strict morals leading them to keep an impeccable army at all times. Hobgoblin might lack the strength or will for destruction of orcs and minotaurs, but their army is organized, their frontiers are safe, and their city is kept far from the assault of other tribes.

• Reputation: Hobgoblins are viewed as disciplined and formidable warriors, their rigid code of conduct and strategic prowess commanding respect. However, their strict hierarchy and emphasis on order often lead others to perceive them as unyielding and inflexible.

Characteristics

Physical features

Sexual dimorphism is a distinctive trait observed in goblinoids, with females generally exhibiting a larger and more robust physique compared to males. This divergence in physical characteristics is believed to be linked to the goblinoid species' high reproductive capacity, where the ability of females to bear and nurture offspring played a significant role in their evolutionary development.

History

Godly Creation

After the Nexus overload, and the flow of magic in Toriel, many creatures were impacted by this, including the goblins. Hobgoblins descend from ancient goblins who made a pact with a Bane in exchange for increased size and strength.
Bane, seeing a spark of intelligence in those goblins, agreed and blessed them with a new form. In the process, he also transmitted his will to conquer to those new goblins, which were later called hobgoblins.
Like other humanoids, hobgoblins have no special inclination toward conquest, battle, or cruelty, and they can be found in all walks of life. But when the wicked among them fall on desperate times, some use their talents for the violence and subjugation of others.

Lawful Society

Hobgoblin society evolved to this harsh, lawful society after the Great Extinction. The incident wiping most of their population, they were on the edge of extinction.
The survivor had to be extremely careful, and have a strong set of rules to survive during the era of dragons, and those traditions evolved over the year, to become the society they know have. Boat Wright, their capital, looks like any other civilized land, and prosper, as the Hobgoblins offer safe passage across the Green earth for a fee.
Thanks to their mannerism, and the safe trading route they offer, hobgoblins are appreciated by both Tana's empire and the Lightfoot Land. Hobgoblins are not necessarily evil and are extremely lawful, as such, they are accepted in most major cities. Of course, villages and small towns might not have the same opinion, as they lack the education to know the hobgoblin good behavior.
