Gold Coast Goblin Tribes Content . Compiled by the Anvil Fighters Guild As a service to the public interest , the Fighters Guild seeks to educate all denizens of Tamriel about common threats . This tract discusses the goblin tribes of the Gold Coast , and is presented by the Anvil Fighters Guild . < nowiki > * * * < / nowiki > Hall Steward Shabeh af - Naifa , Per the terms of my punishment detail , I elected to provide you with this essay regarding the goblin tribes found in the Gold Coast . By your estimate it should have taken me little more than a day ' s work . It is with great frustration that I deliver this to you a week late . The Sharp Stick tribe claims the southern portion of the Gold Coast as their territory , while the Long Tooth tribe claims the northern . What more is there to say about goblins in the Gold Coast ? Much , I discovered , and most of it confusing . I first thought the Long Tooth tribe was the oldest goblin tribe in the region , but they are actually a recent arrival . They used to be three tribes : the Long Claws , Tooth Rocks , and Rock Sticks . The Long Claws and Tooth Rocks once fought constantly over hunting grounds southwest of Chorrol . Shortly after the Chorrol Fighters Guild took a contract to drive them from the area , they both fled . The tribes harassed each other during their migration to the Gold Coast until they stumbled across the mostly insular but populous Rock Sticks . Presented with a common enemy , Long Claw and Tooth Rocks banded together to slay every Rock Stick who opposed them . Within the month , the remaining goblins began to call themselves Long Tooth tribe . They erected crude banners , effectively claiming the lands north of Anvil as their territory . I don ' t know why . The Long Tooth aren ' t exactly talking . As for the Sharp Stick tribe , they are a mishmash of several former goblin tribes . The Eye Sticks fought the Sharp Rocks , who tricked the Shatter Bones into attacking the Blood Skulls . However , the mortal enemies of the Blood Skulls were the Gut Blades , who ambushed Shatter Bones and Blood Skull alike . When the Sharp Rocks and Eye Sticks saw the three - sided battle among rival tribes , they briefly allied to conquer the others . On the eve of their victory , Eye Sticks and Sharp Rocks turned on one another . This great battle took place in the southern region of the Gold Coast , to the complete ignorance of all but a hapless Khajiit trapper who happened upon them . ( He is credited with the popular Kvatch tavern song , " The War That Never Was . " ) There were survivors among the five warring tribes . Some fled and became the Rock Sticks who were ( years later ) subjugated by the Long Claws and Tooth Rocks . Those who remained became the Sharp Sticks , fortifying themselves against reprisal attacks from the Rock Sticks which never came . They eventually turned to a life of farming and kept to themselves . With the Long Tooth and Sharp Stick so close to each other , it is only a matter of time before they clash . If we end up with one big goblin tribe called the Long Sticks , my only request is you put me on the contract to drive them out of the Gold Coast . — [ Name withheld from wider publication per punishment detail agreement ]
