=====Goblins===== Unable to hold their own ground in the conflicts between salamanders, kobolds and humans, goblins are thought to be completely extinct on Prasinos. =====Reputation===== The last known holdouts have not been seen in hundreds of years, and were casualties of kobold efforts to expand into Salamanderhome. When goblins thrived, they made their homes around Salamanderhome, although they did not have a name for it. Goblins are not forgotten, and live on in folk tales and fairy stories. They are generally considered to be mischievous pranksters and characterised like rambunctious children. Images of friendly goblins engaging in low-stakes pranks (stealing pies, hiding eggs in people's shoes) are commonly found in children's literature around Outland and Haverness. Historical scholars understand this to be fairly inaccurate, noting that in their time they were considered dangerous and crafty. Known to fashion almost anything into a weapon or a trap, they held their own against larger and more numerous attackers for quite some time, only finally falling due to assaults from all sides over decades. While popular culture has rendered them harmless, history remembers their tenacity and guile. =====Goblin Culture===== In their time, goblins were social people. They formed villages and bands, and would easily fall in with other groups who would allow them. They often cohabitated with hobgoblins and orcs, and would occasionally band together with humans or tieflings in small numbers. Their capricious tempers and impatience made most other partnerships short-lived. Goblins loved to build and create, and were able to fashion weapons and traps out of almost anything. "For the goblins" remains a common expression among gnomes, referring to a contraption that was too dangerous to use for its intended purpose. (For example, a vegetable peeler that is difficult to use without cutting your hand or a sorting machine whose exposed mechanisms frequently destroy what is meant to be sorted might be "for the goblins"). =====Religion in Goblin Society===== Goblins were not known to devoutly worship anyone, although they occasionally took on the practices of groups they had fallen in with. They disliked gods of order and tended to avoid association with Melora, Avandra, and most dragons. =====Notable Goblins===== This section needs expansion.
