Goblinoids, The North Landers
To the north of the Lands of Sand lies the bad lands, so called due to the even harsher life and infertile lands that make up this area.
Where the Lands of Sand has pockets of fertile areas and water, the Bad lands are devoid of such pleasantries.  In these lands are the various raiding tribe of Goblins and Hobgoblins.  With no set countries these goblinoids roam the bad lands in a very harsh nomadic life style.

Hobgoblins are the undisputed masters of these lands, born from a nomadic life style these goblin kin, while barbaric, have a culture all their own.  Hobgoblins are born predators, and this heritage is apparent in their physical shape.  A hobgoblin is lean, tall, with a lithe frame designed for agility.  Like a desert animal, they excel at moving unheard, and with keen yellow eyes they can see in the darkest of conditions.

Goblins of the Bad Lands stand about four feet tall, and tend to have lanky frames. Their eyes, coming in various hues of red, orange, or yellow, are typically glazed and dull. Skin color is found in all shades of yellow, orange, and red, with all members of an individual tribe usually being roughly the same color. Goblins typically clothe themselves in garments of dark leather, with colors usually being solid-looking and drab.

Goblins are a race of small and numerous goblinoids common throughout the bad lands, often living in underground caverns near the surface known as lairs. The race is often, though not always, dominated by Hobgoblins. Goblins may have, in fact, been initially created by this related race to serve as scouts and infiltrators.

Cousins to the Goblins are the Gobelin.  While the Nation of Goh is a power all it own,some of the goblins have come to realize this.  Under the wisdom of Wizard-King Gohb Flot-Buée, a open immigration law was enacted that would allow any goblins from the Badlands to enter into the Kingdom of Goh under the rule of good faith, after the Wizard-King Gohb Flot-Buée determined that all goblins where in fact cousins to the gnomes, by decree.

To this day all goblins that wish a better more civilized life is granted entrance to Goh, after they are permitted a work visa and are registered with the nation's law keepers.

The now civilized goblins refer to themselves as Gobelin to distance themselves from there more savage brothers.
