Races/Goblins

From Hebridonia Wiki

Found mostly in the Eastern baronies of Hebridonia, the Goblins are a race of green skinned humanoids with pointed ears and sharp teeth. While most would dismiss all goblins as gypsies and wanderers, some of their race have distinguished themselves as astute mages and inventors for wealthy nobility and Eastern barons.

There is a myth that the Goblins emerged from the Barraigh mountains at roughly the same time as the Elven war with the Scaryn (0 EC), but the Goblins are not the source of the myth. As a people, they have little interest in their history, or the history of others, and what culture exists is maintained through oral storytelling traditions.

In comparison to humans, goblins are typically more slight in build and somewhat shorter by 3 - 6" on average. Though weaker in strength, their agility is far superior to humans, a trait that is all too often used in slight of hand tricks to amuse a audience. Goblins are cunning and bright, but often these two advantages are offset by their impulsiveness, which often leads to trouble. Some scholars have suggested that the goblins may have once lived underground, since they have exceptional vision at night and in low-light situations...
