Chapter 5 The Goblin kingdom

Goblins are sworn enemies of many races since the beginning of life on Eliya, they are small pests that can populate with great speed if given the proper conditions while damaging everything in their path. Goblins are small green creatures the size of a 10 year old human child although usually with low inteligence, these creatures can evolve into smarter variations, to the point of understanding and using magic. Small but quite dangerous, they possess the strenght of a mature human man with nothing to lose. The race of goblins does not usually give birth to many females, as a result there are many kidnappings of other race's females to reproduce, most common young girls of the human and elve races. This has caused many subjugating quests of goblins throughout the many countries. 

Before the creation of guilds, goblins were quite rampant, like rats in a dirty kitchen they were everywhere. Livestock were commonly killed, women were kidnapped, farmland destroyed and one of the main cause for deaths of farmers. Goblins do not much purpose as they seem to only be focused on killing, eatting and reproduction. Just before the creation of guilds, there was a war against the goblins, as humans and elves banded together and began extreme extermination of many goblin tribes. This had later became as the war of the goblins, as many goblin tribes began to be destroyed by this elven human force, an unique event had happened, a goblin king had emerged.

This goblin king was strong, tactful and extremely resourceful, able to bring together all the tribes of the goblins under his rule, he had created weapons and even repaired a destroyed city as his home base. There were many battles within this 5 year war of goblins, many times resulting in the win for the goblins. In the one decisive battle the goblin king had pushed the human elven force back, causing a massive panic in their countries. However, they had suddenly retreated south, leaving a massive flag with a note written on the battlefield they defeated them on. A declaration was written on the flag, stating that he had decided to end the war and create his own country for his goblin kin, and that any attacks on his newly found country will result back in a total war of the races. At this point, the humans and elves were in a weakened state, and there were a raise in demon attacks from the north, it was decided to leave the goblins alone.

Goblins now reside in the southern part of the Deepforests, their boarder is not huge due to their poor technology and crude lifestyle. Their country if it can be called as such has one large city as the goblin capital and two smaller cities. Although they are not as grand as the human and elven kingdoms, these cities are considered quite impressive for goblin standards, build with stones and wood, the goblin king had taught the goblins how to farm and hunt, as well as create walls and battle formations.

There are many believes that all goblins are mere simple minded drones, and it can only be brought under control by one single mind, the goblin king. There has been vey little information on the goblins and how smart they truly are after the country was founded since they prohibit any outsiders from entering their country. There has been reports that the goblins are becoming a great nation with many many goblins creating brand new villages and cities. This has yet to be confirmed but has caused alarm for humans elves, worrying for the scenario of a new goblin war in the future.

4.2 Who was this Goblin King?

This goblin king that came out of the during the near extinction of goblins was a truly a unique event. There are many theories, the most famous one was called "The Theory of Balance". This theory states that every race in Eliya has an equal chance of fighting back any invading force even if that force has the possiblity of wiping out the race completely by any means. This has been true throughout the years as the Human race although almost destroyed by the demons, heroes had emerged and fought them back, goblins being exterminated to the point of extinction created a strong leader that was able lead the goblins to greatness. The most frightening thing that had happened during the war was that this goblin king had used tactics used by humans, using weapons that require human knowledge, as well as having the ability to bring the goblins under his control. There has been theories that an outworlder or a human might have been born as this goblin king, placed by fate to prevent the extinctioin or give the chance of goblins to redeem themselves; although, it is will always remain a theory, as it is impossible to prove this. 

The goblin king's genes has been passed down after many generations, and although every generation seems to be the same as the past, there have been records of small goblin forces going further south of the continent. Although the majority of goblins reside in the goblin country, there has always been reports of smaller goblin pockets appearing north of the human and elven countries. These smaller goblins that are cut off to the goblin king has no purpose and simply attack everything; not considered real goblins, guilds often commision subjugation quests for these pests.

There are tails that this Goblin King has taught the human tounge to his goblins, and even magic to his mages. There are records of adventurers saying goblins have come peacefuly and talked to them, usually telling them they are hunting near the land of goblins and they should leave. It is truly terrifying to know how intelligent this gobin king is. 

-"From this point onwards, let it be known down in history that we goblins had defeated you humans and elves, from this point let it be known this is the beginning of the kingdom of Goblins, and if you shall invade our lands, we will fight back with full force." - Declaration from the Goblin King after the final battle.
