[QUOTE="Demetrios1453, post: 7702896, member: 6801060"] Not really. The main lair describes a mine, but qualifies it ("If the lair was built around a mine...", "The ideal place for a goblin lair is in an abandoned mine..."), so logically there are lairs outside the stereotypical goblin mine described, or else those qualifiers would not be there. The first sentence of the section does state that goblins live in "shrouded valleys, shadowy forests, and caves and tunnels beneath the surface of the world", which gives quite some leeway on where one can find goblins - while many goblins live in lairs like the one being described, there are obviously some goblins who live above ground in places like forests and jungles as well as in isolated valleys in hills and mountains. Granted, that does leave out places like wide-open plains, frozen tundras, and in the sea and air, but of course a DM can just assume that the "most of" is to be understood from the text and that one is allowed to have the periodic goblin steppe nomads in one's game if one wants...
