Hobgoblins

Hobgoblins are a race of physically powerful, intelligent, yet frightening humanoids native to Solenli. The vast number of their race live in the relatively barren, cold taiga of the northern regions of the continent, but they have spread just as widely as humans across the globe, making them, their language and their culture a common sight in nearly any country.
In appearance, the hobgoblin race can be best described as brutish, almost bestial humanoids. More powerfully built and often taller than human beings, they tend to be swarthy, with less brachycephalic faces and larger, sharper teeth. They generally posses black to brown hair, dark eyes and pointed ears, and their skin ranges from a deep tan to an almost-orange colour. Sexual dimorphism is minimal; aside from the obvious differences in genitalia and the presence of mammary glands upon birthing, it is well nigh impossible to distinguish between males and females.
Hobgoblin senses significantly outweigh those of humans, especially their night vision. They are also extremely resistant to temperatures, exhaustion and starvation, able to survive handily in environments that more fragile races would balk at. While technically considered omnivores, they display a marked fondness for meat. Both their intelligence and civility are at least on par with the average human; they are often serious, professional and easy to offend, especially around other races.
There are some physical characteristics and other traits likening them to the slighter goblin race, making it thought that they share a common ancestor. Mentioning any sort of relation with a goblin is a grievous insult to a hobgoblin.
Traditional hobgoblin society is highly militarized. Each and every member is trained from childhood to fight, wield weapons and kill, even those destined to be civilians. They are extremely orderly and highly trained, and show incredible respect for their superiors. An example of this is the Hobgoblin Army of Mirilarin who, due to their intense military training, are prized as some of the most skilled mercenaries on the continent.
