Goblinoids

Most Goblinoids believe the following to be true, but the facts are not wholly known.

In the early days of civilization, the three primary goblinoid races shared a common home in Mortrimar. There was peace for a time. The community thrived. Bugbears were believed to be the protectors, Hobgoblins the architects and inkslingers, and Goblins the hunters and gatherers. As time wore on, Hobgoblins began to believe that they were superior to their smaller cousins and began to try force Goblins into servitude. Bugbears began to distance themselves, not wishing to get involved as the tensions between their distant relatives grew. The hostility between the two eventually bubbled over as Hobgoblins became more adamant in their pursuits. Goblins refused to bend to their will. A bloody Civil War among the two incurred and it is believed that the Homeland was lost as a direct result. The Goblinoids scattered throughout the world; Bugbears became nomads while Hobgoblins and Goblins were eager to carve small parts of the world as their new homes. Over time, the fighting seemed to end as new homes were found, but skirmishes have been known to occur. All three races eventually forgot the exact location of the Homeland. Cultural beliefs have shifted even among those of the same race as a result of the separation. However nearly all Goblinoids share an ache for the Home that once was.
