History
Goblins are usually portrayed as tiny, evil Creatures that have no sense of humanity, nor morality, when in reality, they’re probably the Nicest race to meet! . . . Or.. at least, used to be. these rumours going around gossiping about how Goblins are as deranged as the fairy tales say Ended up in the Goblins Revolting, deciding to make these “Rumours” into “Facts”, Finally deciding to drop their Morals and sense of Humanity just for a taste of revenge. A Nation of Goblins scavenged the world of Cinderfell, ravaging and destroying villages and other nations out of rage. This led other nations to all attack the Nation of Goblins, massacring many out of anger at their revolting, and leaving only very few Goblins left to roam the lands. Very few goblins are able to tell the tale of that grim day, and the once peaceful beings they once were.
