Goblins

Small unsavory little buggers who either live in caves as savages or figure out a crude mockery of civilized society. The cave goblins are basically animals who aren’t afraid of fire, they have no real culture aside from worshiping whatever unholy thing started whispering to one that was convincing. Road goblins are a bit more interesting, they’re ‘kingdoms’ of goblins who roam the roads.

Road goblins form large family groups, sometimes even merging families together called ‘Kingdoms’. These kingdoms work together to build caravans and travel the roads, mostly constrained to the human kingdoms as dwarves have yet to recognize any of them as anything more than a pest. The royalty of these kingdoms are used mostly as scapegoats should something go wrong and so the lower the position in the kingdom is usually the safest even if it means being the one pulled the caravan. Some can even get impressive making actual moving building sized miniature castles with complete features bearing their own insignia and iconography. These goblins are somewhat more civilized and try to be like humans, but rarely understand nuances of things or why they happen, only that they do and about when to do them. Leading to some very... Comedic sights, such as a goblin dressed in a bloodstained sheep skin cloak and carrying a sword hilt upside down as if it were a cane. Claiming kingship and speaking like a character from a historic play.
