Never Trust a Fey"Remember, Syz. You cannot trust the Fey."\n"I know, papa. But, I want to know why."\n"Because long ago, the Fey betrayed the Goblins."\n"For doing what?"\n"Nothing."\n"That’s not a good reason!"\n"Does a beast need a reason to bite you? It’s just its nature."\n"So all fey are bad?"\n"That’s right, Syz. All fey are bad. And we must always be watchful."\n"Okay, papa."

Broken ChainsMany, maybe even a majority of our clan, are former goblin slaves of the orcish clan Blackmoon. These members did what no orc thought was possible. They fought for their freedom.\n\nAs orcs fled from the Shadow Grove and attacked the elves of Salla Ayleth, our brave brothers and sister took up arms against their enslavers. Despite initial success, the revolt ultimately failed and the chieftain of orcs, Relgakk Blackmoon, declared a purge of any goblin found. Those who survived found us. \n\nNow, they seek vengeance. There is no denying each one of these formers slaves are hardened from revolt. And there are plenty who are capable of leadership. Now it is just a matter of deciding who will lead our armies to avenge our fellow goblins.

The Other GoblinsOur clan has changed. We are still a tribe of goblins, but not all of us call ourselves Forest Goblins. Many in our clan are newly freed slaves from the wretched orcs. Unlike us, they come not from dark forests of the Deepwoods but rather from the deep caverns of the Serpentspine. \n\nWhile we do not regret saving them from orcish oppression, we cannot help but recognize they are a little strange. They don’t talk quite like us. They don’t look quite like us. And, they don’t think quite like us. The first one can be fixed. The second we will just have to ignore. But, the last one… it might prove valuable.

Traps and TricksWhen we took in the fleeing goblin slaves, the orcish slavers soon followed. Never before had we seen such brutes. They were as tall as elves and twice the muscle. We were certain if an orc caught one of us, they could rip that goblin in half with their bare arms. Fortunately, we had long known that strength pales to cleverness. The elves had learned that. And soon, the orcs did too.\n\nDozens of orcs fell to their death from our pit traps. Even more were crushed by massive falling branches. And, of course, most orcs met their end by our signature Spiked Logs. In the end, orcs were bled dry by our ingenuity and our newly arrived brethren were kept safe.

From the FringesOur clan is all too familiar with making more with less. Our ancestors, their ancestors, and THEIR ancestors spent their lives on the edges of the various groves that dot the Deepwoods. It was a poor place, little more than sticks, stones, and a whole lot of nasty creatures wanting to eat goblins. Despite this, the Forest Goblins endured and even thrived. The beasts that threatened us quickly learned our old adage - "Sticks and stones can break bones."\n\nToday, our clan has a proper home and proper weapons. But that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten how much can be done with less, and the tenacious spirit of our ancestors is still with us.

Clanboss by Prowess, Not PactEvery goblin clan needs a clanboss. They need a goblin who ensures that a clan works together, with an iron fist as needed. Us forest goblins are no different. However, there are some that believe that a pact with a dirty fey is all you need to become clanboss. That a little bit of unearned magic will get you the clan’s respect.\n\nNot in our clan.\n\nOnly the strongest goblins, the smartest goblins, and the biggest goblins have the right to be clanboss. A clanboss must earn their position. And that means showing you’ve got what it takes.

Feystomper BoarsThere are times where our clan must face our foes in open battle. When those times come, we unleash our Feystomper Boars. These wonderful beasts are the size of stag with the temperament of an angered broodmother. It takes months and even years for a goblin to bond with a Feystomper. Half the time, the goblin is usually crushed before that can happen. But when the bond does form, the duo is an unstoppable pairing of brains and brawn.
