Information
-
True Goblins are mortal with long lives, human sized and muscular with large flop-ears that are rather deformed in shape. They are medium to light brown skinned, while some are from albino stock from living in caves for so long. 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. They have claws on their hands and feet that are partially retractable. They have a broad head, a wide bestial nose, a wide lipless mouth, and sloping forhead. They are faster when moving on all fours. Considered unsightly they are very tribal in appearance. They wear leather and fur clothing and armour.
True Goblins always travel in mobs of 5-7. Scaled or 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.
