[QUOTE="Blue Orange, post: 8530334, member: 7025997"] [B]This is absolute humano-elvish propaganda.[/B] Maglubiyet was the only one who was willing to accept the 'rejected' races of goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears who lacked powerful patrons such as Gruumsh, Corellon Larethian, Moradin, or whatever grab-bag of deities the humans are worshipping lately. Goblinoids were [I]forced off their land[/I] by humans, elves, and dwarves and then forced off the remaining land by orcs. It is for this reason we live in caves where nobody else wants to live! Only Maglubiyet was willing to accept our worship. Other gods have their favorite races--orcs for Gruumsh, elves for Corellon, dwarves for Moradin, and the like. Maglubiyet's embrace of diversity was not accepted by the prejudiced gods of the other races. Some of you might be surprised to learn that Maglubiyet has orcish and even human worshippers! But of course you wouldn't learn about that in anything written by a human supremacist like Mordenkainen or Tasha! Maglubiyet doesn't demand a WIS or CHA before giving you spells. He only asks that you give him your worship and tie your fate to that of the goblinoid races. Many wizards and priests of other gods have found their way working with the goblinoids when the arrogant humans and elves have cast them out. You say goblinoids are violent--are you surprised when you invade our homes seeking treasures and 'experience'? You drive us from the surface of the earth and then try to take what little remains to us! [I]Grog Shaman of Maglubiyet[/I] [SIZE=1](OOC: OP is really quite clever and creative and I wanted to riff off it)[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
