Message: <blockquote data-quote="jdavis" data-source="post: 800302" data-attributes="member: 8704">Goblin TribesThe goblins to the south of Mor’s End are a rowdy group with little or no organized leadership. The once powerful goblinoid kingdom was shattered in battle long ago and no strong leader has emerged to unite the goblins once again. This is fine by the goblins as they pretty much do what they want now. They have broken into several dozen smaller tribes who constantly fight with the humans, the orcs and each other. Goblin raids are common and they tend to take everything they can grab and then retreat before a defense can be mounted, Goblins have even been know to raid each other during raids on the town. The swamps south of Mor’s End is infested with goblins and the only thing that seems to keep their numbers in check is the fact that they tend to fight as much among themselves as they do with the city. The goblin tribes are nomadic and tend to move around, they move in and out of the swamp and through the woods and plains south of the lake almost constantly. Few of these goblin tribes number over 100 and many are less than 50, they fight, merge, collapse and reform so often that the Outland Rangers have a hard time keeping track of which tribe is which. It is for this reason that there is no way of actually knowing just how many goblins there are but their numbers are estimated to be in the thousands. There is a small tribe of Bugbears that live deep in the swamp who are trying to bring about a second Goblinoid Kingdom, but they have been completely unsuccessful in anything greater than mounting occasional attacks, they find it hard to hold on to any significant force of goblins for very long as they slip away into the swamp as soon as they turn their backs. It is also not that uncommon for Hobgoblins to enter the swamp to gather up goblins to use in their various wars. Very few of the goblins that go with the Hobgoblins ever return to the swamp alive.Mor’s End itself has a sizable goblin population made up mostly of outcast and orphans, who have decided city life is much easier than living in the swamps, they primarily live outside the walls in the squats and are generally frowned upon by the city, no goblin is ever fully trusted but many of these goblins perform the task that the other races in Mor’s End would find demeaning or disgusting. Goblins that enter the city walls are always marked and watched to make sure they are not raiders and most local goblins are known to the city guard and watch; strange or unknown goblins found wandering the streets are normally picked up, questioned and removed from the city proper. It seems that most of the local goblins don’t mind this treatment and many see it as a sort of game. The occasional Hobgoblin shows up in Mor’s End too, most are refugees from battles or those orphaned and left to at the city gates.</blockquote>
