Its skin is an unhealthy pale color of something that sees little sun, and its hair and nails are yellow. Its leather armor smells of dead animals and old dirt. It raises a wickedly notched blade menacingly.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>The Heroic Tales of Dayden Mitheris<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Goblins are a varied folk, and they have lived in Athleles for as long as there have been records. The goblin&#8217;s belief is that they were formed in a dark outer realm by some of the old gods to bring chaos. They are likened to be the almost opposite of elflings, where elfling culture brings joy and song &#8211; with the obvious fun chaos, the culture of the goblins is one of violence and aggression, with a nice helping of destructive chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Jager, Monster Hunter<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Goblins may be one of the most despised species in Atheles. Elflings, known for their nonviolence and happy demeanor, turn to assault whenever they encounter goblins. Goblins are petty, vengeful, torturing little creatures who enjoy the pain of others. If there is a cause that can hurt others, goblins will flock to it like flies to dung. It is the sages of the towers who debate what made them this way, but for hunters, it is often just part of the job to clean out areas infested with the hateful things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many a young adventurer\u2019s first contract is to root out the goblins from some new lair, though some of those young explorers often end up as broken skeletons in those same lairs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Etahn<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I am not sure what a goblin has done to Etahn in the past, but his narrow view of these creatures is, sadly, unwavering. While many goblins have a culture that can seem gross to outsiders, not all goblins fall into this category. In Tiren, there are a few goblin settlements that trade regularly with others, and in those lands, you can find goblins traveling between other settlements. Even ancient Uthgard was recorded as having a \u201cgoblintown\u201d within the old city of Pardalor. Like other beings, goblins&#8217; personalities and beliefs cover a wide gamut, sadly many only encounter those with the sharp notched swords that Etahn is referring to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
