### -Taruraj Mantra

Goblins, and subspecies, have a very bad relationship with the majority of other races. Although some of these are based upon old tradition without much actual proof to back it up (see: Dwarves/Elves) some do have reason for distrusting goblins.

Human-Goblin Relations

Humans and Goblins, long ago (though the specifics of HOW long ago range from 600 years to 1200 years ago before the Great Event) attempted to reconcile through an experimental Goblin Human inter-species county. This was quickly disbanded as the cultures collided, leading to riots and constant fighting. This was due to the fact that Humans and other races had treated Goblins so poorly for hundreds of thousands of years that they had grown to distrust Humans, leading to xenophobia, corrupt leadership, etc. This lead to a Goblin takeover of the county after having been oppressed. The Goblins took over the town but were quickly dispatched by the Tonnisian legion and their general, Tonnis. Both species used this as a way to affirm their own superiority and neither race has tried something remotely similar until year 336 PGE when Dober the Warlord took over the county once more for goblinkind turning it into a county of all races, similar to the experiment, but with an already established hierarchy, which let the town prosper. Currently Human-Goblin relations are still terrible, but are slowly mending.

## Notable People

### Dober the goblin

Dober the goblin was kidnapped by a devilish army and forced to fight for entertainment purposes, he fled during a battle and helped the Koshites, Ceciline Brandy and Kosh Zig in the coup proceeding the Battle for Elyse. Soon after the battle began he fled the city and began capturing Elysian cities, crippling the already weak Elysian empire. He then took Tonnis Town in the Alestrian Desert. He named this town his capital and delivered a short speech simply called the Tonnisian Address in Goblin. He ordered new art created in the likeness of heroes who saved Tonnis from a red dragon. This has helped prove to other leaders that his town is in fact civilized

## Tonnisian Address

######

> "The other races and factions have been fighting each other. We have taken this city, not only as a show of our strength, but of their weakness! They have weapons of silver and destruction that they use, not for gain for their own people, but the detriment of ours, and so many like us, and yet we are the uncivilized ones. We fight tooth and nail to survive whilst they kill each other for entertainment, and yet we are the uncivilized ones, they grow corrupt and use this so called "civilization" for personal gain, and yet we are the uncivilized ones. These people destroy homes and families, and yet WE are the monsters! We are the monsters NO MORE! The time for mindless hiding is over! Shall the petty beings, who think themselves superior because of their own lack of understanding, morals and strength, physically and mentally, fall before our blades! WE TOGETHER SHALL RIDE INTO A NEW AGE!"
