Culture & Society

The goblins of Vaeria were previously looked down upon as vermin by most races.  They lived in squalor amongst the dregs of society and survived on the waste and scraps of civilization.  Ironically it was through this demand for adaptability and scavenging the detritus of the world that they discovered an aptitude for manipulating elemental energies to power their cunning creations.  Since The Waning they have risen to prominence with the growing demand for elemental powered technology.  As a result, many of them have a bit of a chip on their shoulder now that people have need of their services.

Goblins have skin tones in shades of gray, green, or yellow and typically of a sickly hue with pocked and pebbled flesh.  Their dark hair is often thin and stringy as if it is perpetually unkempt.  They also have large pointed ears that are frequently pierced and decorated with multiple pieces of jewelry.  Anything shiny can act as jewelry for a goblin, rarely will you see one with actual treasure adoring them.  Their small frames are lean and wiry and most tend to be very twitchy as if they have an abundance of nervous energy.
