Goblin

**Goblins** are a species of magically created beings. They were brought into existence by Fraziel, a human sorcerer, and are led by individual Goblin Commanders. They live in Ogriss.

## Overview

### General

Goblins are humanoid creatures who are generally on the shorter side of things concerning height in comparison to humans. They come in a variety of colors, from grey, to red, to purple, green, and blue. They have pointed ears, sharper teeth which sometimes grow into outright tusks, and generally appear much more monstrous than humans.

### Abilities

Like their creator before them, Goblins have some sway over magic that seems to be inherent. For example, they can make use of magical Rune stones and some clans have members that can perform types of magic. In particular, magic that involves Souls. Commanders, in particular, can assume a soul form.

### Society

Goblin society is founded on souls and gold, both of which are needed to produce units, champions, create buildings, ect. Souls can be acquired through conquest by killing enemy units or taking Soul Fountains. Gold can be acquired by destroying structures on the map. It is unclear if Goblins reproduce like normal creatures, as they were neither divinely made nor the product of evolution. Also, all goblins from all clans appear to be male. This seems to imply that, through the use of souls, Goblins simply come into being and are not born.

### Races
