Grek-Gobu (Goblins)
The Grek-Gobu are the goblins of Aradaea, the smallest of the Grekkin. They branched from the Grek’Garn some 20,000 years ago, changed by magic rather than by land or diet.
Appearance
Section titled “Appearance”Goblins stand around three feet tall and weigh about 50 pounds. Their skin is brown, green or black, their hair is fine, dark and straight where they have any, and like their orc ancestors they carry tusks.
Society and Culture
Section titled “Society and Culture”Goblin tribes are fiercely competitive and cunning. Lives are short, so status has to be won quickly, and rivalries between tribes and families rarely stay quiet for long.
Homeland
Section titled “Homeland”Most goblins come from Enthak, a coastal savanna roamed by Grekkin warclans who live by herding, fishing, raiding and piracy. Others belong to the Vargal’Naz tribes of the Vargal Valley. Many have also settled in Ravena, where gang wars between goblins leave a steady supply of orphans; Knob the Goblin grew up in one such orphanage before becoming the first low-born goblin to graduate from the Primari Academy.
Life Cycle
Section titled “Life Cycle”A goblin lives around 50 years. Like other Grekkin, goblins sense movement through the ground nearby.
Relations
Section titled “Relations”Goblins share their orc ancestry with the Grek’Haku and the Grek’Trok. Most speak Goblin and Orc as well as Aethyrian Common.
Among the Aethyrsparked
Section titled “Among the Aethyrsparked”An Aethyrsparked goblin carries the quickness and cunning of their people into a life bound to the Aethyrweave.
