Information
Scaled Goblins are quasi-immortal, human sized, and muscular, with large flop ears that are rather deformed in shape. Scales cover their entire bodies with exception of their pelvic area, privates, ears, and the palms of their hands, which are leathery. Their scales vary in brown colors to give them a dirty appearance. Some are from albino stock from living in caves for so long. They wear loin cloths or clothing made of animal hide and fur, sometimes very archaic, and at other times beautifully but arcanely crafted. Posture is usually partially bent in bestial motion, but they can stand erect and often do in battle. They can also move very swiftly on all fours like a primate. Claws on hands and feet, partially retractable. Broad head, wide bestial nose, wide lipless mouth, sloping forhead. They are faster when moving on all fours. They are considered unsightly and are very tribal in appearance. Their morgwulg mounts are as much companions to them as battle mounts. The loss of a mount hits them as hard as the loss of a friend and they will hold drunken wakes when a mount is lost beyond hope of resurrection.
Scaled Goblins always travel in mobs of 5-7. Demon Spawn Goblins may travel with them. These mobs are either mounted or on a foot with two riders. These goblins can attack in vast legions if their caves are infiltrated and the trespasser is discovered.
Goblin Society
All goblins form tribes which are well structured with a chieftain and warrior based heirarchy. Different races of goblins can be found in a tribe, but typically a tribe is made up of one race of goblins, owed to differences in mortality rates and the fact that they cannot interbreed. Males and females are equals in goblin society. Strength in battle is what determines their rank, and if a chieftain is challenged for leadership during a biannual festival called Ishvaug Kridungen (celebration of might) and looses, the leader must give up the thorned throne to the victor. Chieftains can be male or female. Goblines are very territorial and pride themselves as conquerers. They also love to carous and often engage in drinking contests. Goblin lagers and ales are counted among the best in Morashtar, and goblins often trade their brews for weapons. They are surprisingly well disciplined however and keep drinking to a minimum when their territory is threatened or when conquering another territory. Because many find them unsightly, quarrelsom, dangerous, dishonorable as a conquering species, and bad mannered, they have become hated and distrusted and act accordingly. Not all goblins are evil, but all are at least chaotic. When a comrade dies goblins burn the body if a resurrection is impossible and hold a drunken wake around the pire. Goblin mages have their own hierarchy based on power and are never chieftains, but are often advisors to a chieftain and tribe.
