The Goblins arrived about the same time as the Orcs, approximately 3000 years ago, but they came in on the eastern coast of Cuiveinen, at which is now Raeyithia. They arrived with the Tuatha De Danann to whom they were second class citizens at best and slaves at worst.

A kind historian might wish to claim that the Goblins were the Sidhe shock troops but its more likely they were simply cannon fodder.

History reports that the ancient Goblin was of significant size and possessed of a brute cunning and tactical prowess. They have since devolved like many of the Hoggur until they are simply of a smaller statue, though no less cunning. The average goblin is about four feet tall with green or dark blue skin, however, they can reach heights similar to that of ogres and may be confused with ogres occasionally.

To the average human, an orc almost always appears monstrous, but there is something about the goblin appearance and demeanor that engenders a certain amount of 'awww'. In truth, they are no less curiously formed, but perhaps it is the bulbous eyes, exaggerated noses, and toothy smiles that fail to generate the same hatred. Perhaps it is simply that the Gentry, having received their comeuppance at the hands of the Andals feel a renewed kinship with those who were once little more then servants.

At one point, a number of centuries ago, the goblins were granted permission to build and maintain a village in the western part of Raeyithia and the Thorn King followers generally left them alone. When the goblins speak of "the king", it is commonly believed that it was this ancient king of Raeyithia they refer to. Occasional fanatics were known to try and convert them, but little is ever heard from them again. Since the establishment of Golmeuse, clans of Orcs have found their way to the village and its deep halls.
