Goblin

An often overlooked race, Goblins are the smaller cousins of the Sanhedrin, found in all of Tierra Verde’s mountains and underground. They are famed for their eccentricity and ability to cobble together inventions and magical objects out of piles of junk.

Physical Appearance
Goblins are short humanoids, usually standing no more than 4 feet tall. They have scrawny bodies of a dark brown, black or dirty maroon colouration. Their eyes are little more than black globes and their hair is scraggly and dark, often worn in unusual styles such as mohawks.

Goblin Lands
Despite their large numbers, they have very little presence above ground, usually found along the east of Malus or around Oni communities in Higashi-Rei. They have more influence in Aldebaran, where they are seen as innovative, if a little unhinged, inventors.

Goblins have a remarkable track record for survival and perseverance, with their subterranean city of Yarrick being the oldest continuously-inhabited city in all of Tierra Verde, despite being located almost directly in the centre of the Black Lands.
