Goblins

Goblins are a type of magical peoples native to Foon. They are short, squat, moist, and ugly.1

Goblins mostly live underground where they mostly work mining coal, diamonds, quartz, and other minerals. There is an old rift between elves and goblins, which unfortunately leads to a lot of prejudice against goblins. As a result, they have an even-further-underground economy and entertainment business.

Powers

Goblins are particularly easy to bring back to life if killed, and an average goblin attempting to resurrect another will have a high chance of success even if they have no particular training or magic.

Culture

  • Goblin culture leans matriarchal, with the males acting as homemakers in traditional households.
  • Their are weddings are raucous affairs, and have a lot of dancing, music, food, fighting, murders, blood, and goblins being brought back to life.
  • Goblins are skilled dancers.
  • Goblin doorbells go "Ding-Doon"
  • Fire Water is a goblin alcoholic drink.7
  • Perhaps because they are sometimes associated with them by outsiders, Goblins often look down on Orcs as low-class & disreputable.8

Mating

One way, though not the only way, for a Goblin to find a mate is by visualizing their perfect partner, which will then sprout out of their side while they sleep. If the goblin does not know themselves very well, their partner may not actually be a good match, in which case they are usually murdered. The ability for goblins to visualize and create their partner is one of the most dramatic attributes that set them apart from Orcs. They have children in litters.

History

Children's Crusade was military conflict between humans and Goblins of Foon. The Boys Knight conscripted thousands of children and led them into battle against Goblin forces. The Goblins did not lose a single soldier, and the child troops were completely wiped out, but the incident is considered a defeat for the goblins because the trauma of killing thousand of children caused suicide rates among goblins to increase 500%.

Spintax the Green once knew a Gold Man who had been brought to life by Foon's richest goblins to protect their village.9

The Goblin Who Came Up the Mountain is the villain of the story of "Big Straw" Finger in the village of Grizana. In the story Finger saves his village by jumping down the big goblin's throat, choking him.10
