Goblins

Introduction

The tiny Goblins of Eden are known to be meddled with, their size may be small but do not underestimate them, They are swift with their short daggers they could slice you up before you even realise they are there. Nothing matters more to a Goblin than the shininess of Gold or the weight of a coin purse. They are crafty little runts being able to swindle you for all your possessions. Always seen around Eden in a tavern or street with some sort of game to leave them going home with a hefty sized coin purse. They are also a really smart race, though they use their brains in other ways of life being business and ways of making coin compared to changing for the future this is the way the goblins want to be. They focus on themselves more than others and at the end of their life they want to take all to the afterlife, so why worry about the future generation when they could have a nice afterlife.

Appearance

The Goblins of Eden are a fascinating race whose looks are similar to that of the orcs but have a dramatic difference, their size. This small green folk stand at average around 4’1’’ or 124cm. One thing that would stand out on the goblins was their heads, which were quite large for the size of their bodies. They had tiny tusks that grew from their bottom gums. A distinct feature the Goblins had was their massive pointed ears, not like any of the elves ears no, these ears pointed sideways along their heads and were much larger than any others. They have sharp teeth and small, pointed nails. Although small, they are extremely swift for their size.

Unlike the orcs their skin color was only green, some having different shades but none has been seen with any other color than green. But their time inside the halls under the mountain has brought to them never looking green due to the dirt and the smoke inside they are usually seen black with the spots of green.

The clothing that the goblins wear is quite shabby light clothing due to the warmth inside their capital nation of Zadh Nadrozz. The Goblins have a lust for shiny objects, like jewels and gold. So they would often be seen with jewelry, most commonly being piercing and rings.

Languages

The goblins of Eden since they have not done much exploring and meeting other races except for orcs they only speak in common with some even knowing orcish.

Culture and Society

With the goblins the culture and society are built on the greed's of their race, their love for one's great desires are what fill their day to day lives. Once they found out the race's love for money the Goblins saw this as a great opportunity and took that as their new goal. To gain as much money as they can. In the main nation of Zadh Nadrozz the Goblins are usually the shop owners because of their love for money, shiny trinkets and jewels. One of the things Goblins are most famous for is their love for gambling, the thought of making endless coin or gaining something they want with near to no work being done. If there is a side hustle going on, you can be sure that a Goblin is present with his hands in his coin purse and a massive grin on his face.

Their part in a society is usually bringing in the wealth and the travellers to their nation to empty their coin purse. They are quite clever people so they are able to use trickery to gain coin which they have learnt. Because of their small size they have found other ways to outsmart and gain the advantage over their opponent. They are usually seen with the orcs so they have adapted to the new ways using their knowledge to do the tasks and take positions in places that need more

knowledge because the orcs aren't as smart as they are, Usually be seen running the shops and other businesses.

The Goblins were very quiet people being that in their past not much even knew they existed out of the myths and stories. With the protection of the Orcs by their side they are now able to and feel safe enough to venture out of the caves and mountains to meet people. They know more of the common tongue so they did most of the talking among the foulskins and it has made them now very sociable people in most cases that is. The goblins are usually up front with people, telling them how it is, this is what has made them get better at bartering and making coins with their up front personality. Also what makes them do good in their own businesses, not letting people walk all over them and getting straight to the point with what they want and what they are willing to give.

Celebrations:

Goblins love a good party and would use any excuse to do so. Their celebrations usually involve a lot of Alcohol and gambling. Some of the Celebrations are as follows:

Day of Freedom:

This is the day when the goblins left the nation of the orcs and began their new era. This is usually a massive gathering between all the goblins, so they can rejoice on how far they have come.

Remembrance:

This is a day to remember all who died in Urgith (the old goblin city) this is when all goblins raise their glass and remember all who died on that day

The great alliance:

This is a day where the Goblins celebrate their alliance with the orcs even with their past they are now brought together to make the greatest nation in all of Eden. This is held inside Zadh Nadrozz because this is where they met and where they both live now

Romance and marriage:

The Goblins are completely different to their predecessors where they view romance as just another way to get what they want. Their greed makes them care for their own needs in most cases and getting into a relationship with someone isnt a special bond because of affairs and dishonesty between both in the relationship. Marriage is something that is rarely seen because as said it is rare there are goblins that are in a long serious relationship. Another reason is because they do not want to spend much coin on something that they might not see the great importance of. This said not all goblins are like this. In rare times there is a wedding held and it is a celebration for all. A lot comes because it is an excuse for alcohol and a good party.

Life & Reproduction:

The Goblins' reproduction is different from all others. The female goblins are fertile every 15 days, so this means they usually have a lot of children and grow fast in numbers. This goes well because goblins Usually live up to around 50 years old before they pass of old age. Since they usually give birth a lot, the goblins don't think much of it and it is just a small thing within the families of the newborn.

Religion:

The Goblins do not have a set religion; their faith is for themselves and their own goals in life. They do not worship any greater power, they want to live their lives in the best way they can. This is different for each goblin but most have their eyes set on wealth and trinkets because the only thing they believe is that when they die they will be brought to Nionmer, a place for goblins only and is a place of joy and for the everlasting party. Gold as far as the eye can see, women and lots of alcohol. This is what the Goblins want after their life on Eden. In this place they are able to bring all possessions with them. They seek as much and as good as they can get so they can bring it into the next life. All things that represent wealth are a reflection of their social standing.

Funerals:

A Funeral for the Goblins is seen less of a sorrowful day as it is seen as a celebration in most cases that is. It is all led up to the wealth of the Goblin, if they were rich then it is good because they will be sent to the great Nionmer and will live to the end of time with all their wealth. But for the less fortunate that do not have much wealth they believe in the end of time they will just die and go nowhere. Which is then a terrible thing for the Goblins because their life was for nothing. Funerals in Goblin society are when the body of the deceased is buried in the ground with all their wealth being trinkets, gold or other rich items. They would also be buried with something that reminds them of family and friends to ensure in the next life they would remember them for when they reached the everlasting party they would be able to meet each other once again.
