Goblin

Goblins are a race of goblinoids. They are numerous and can be found in most places on Exandria.

History
Like other goblinkin, goblins were created during the Calamity by Bane, the Strife Emperor as he twisted the dranassar for his own ends; he created goblins when he needed skirmishers. After Bane fell, goblins were still goaded to violence and cruelty by the Curse of Strife, but the curse can be lifted through exceptional effort or through the power of the Luxon. Consequently, goblins are relatively civilized under the Kryn Dynasty; a respected advisor of the Bright Queen Leylas Kryn, Skysibil Abrianna Mirimm, has spent her current lifetime (as of 835 PD) as a goblin.

Menagerie Coast
In the Lushgut Forest, the Vinewreathed Enclave is a society led by bugbear druids of Melora who have used her magic to free their goblin kin of the curse of strife.
