'''Goblins''' are green humanoid creatures that lack intelligence but make up for it with immense numbers. They follow the god, [[Dragonwilds:Bandos]], also known to the goblins as the "Big High War God".{{CiteJournal|journal=Muddy Scrawl|quote=Big high war god has left us. Big high war god ran away.}}{{CiteJournal|journal=Bandos|quote=Few deities are responsible for as much death and destruction as the self-styled “big high war god” Bandos.}} After they arrived in [[Dragonwilds:Ashenfall]] during the [[Dragonwilds:Third Age]], they first initiated conflict between the humans and eventually with the [[Dragonwilds:Garou]] and their allied dragons.

==History==
When the goblins initially arrived at Ashenfall, they started to raid many villagers' houses and cause mischievous chaos, leading the villagers to be annoyed and chase the goblins down.{{CiteJournal|journal=Grubby Note|quote=Mostly I ignore them. They’ve tried to raid my hut a few times, but never in large numbers. I give them a sound thrashing with my broom and that’s normally enough to send them packing. They’re a pain more than anything, hardly a threat.}} In the year 4209, the climate around Ashenfall became cold, and goblins needed a place to escape the treacherous climate. With this, humans started sharing their meals with the goblins and slowly allied with the two. Both spoke of previous battles from their initial arrival to Ashenfall and have talked about cutting down the beasts that were further into Ashenfall.{{CiteJournal|journal=Weathered Diary (Bramblemead Valley)|quote=There was a snowfall, heavy and solid, that trapped me in this place. I warmed myself by the fire and another joined me. The goblin, Globfinger and he’s more pleasant than his name suggests. He came in out of the cold and in the spirit of our people’s alliance, I shared a warm meal with him. We spoke of battles, as goblins always do. I wonder if they know of any other activity other than conflict, yet if they do, they dare not speak of it. We regailed one another with tales of fights against the wildfolk, as goblin and human cut down the beasts.}}{{CiteJournal|journal=Weathered Diary (Bramblemead Valley)|quote=There was a snowfall, heavy and solid, that trapped me in this place.

We laughed with one another and cheered on our clans. He told me he is glad that his god had beef to settle with the moon-goddess, otherwise we would not have had such an enjoyable war.}}

===Human-Garou War===
{{Main|Human-Garou War}}
The goblins would send word to their emissary, and speak with the Saradominists priests, to form an alliance.{{CiteJournal|journal=Iron Platelegs|quote=The Saradominist priests met with emissaries of Bandos and came to an alliance. The humans would claim the mines of Ghornfell as long as Bandos could claim the head of the Garou goddess, Lougrim.}} Bandos would come, and send more of his forces, including more goblins and assist the humans against [[Dragonwilds:Lougrim]] and her gaurou army. While the forces of the garou were being pushed back. However, despite the humans finally turning the tides with their alliance, the garou's goddess has made an alliance with the [[Dragonwilds:Dragonkin (race)|dragonkin]], offering her dragons to help turn the tides.{{CiteJournal|journal=Pungent Scribble|quote=That weren’t meant to happen. It were meant to be lots of us and lots of the humans, and then we were meant to skewer the beastmen on the end of our spears. Big high war god was gonna be real pleased with us all, and then we were gonna have a feast. Instead we’re the feast! That’s not fair. That’s not how it meant to work. There I was, chasing down a beastman runt, when a great walloping dragon comes outa nowhere and lands on the goblin boss man. Squashes him into jelly, and not the good kind with bits of fruit – the bad kind, with bits of chieftain. Then, dragon goes for the rest of us, breathes a great big jet of fire which turns all of me friends into charcoal.}} Bandos would personally interviene, attacking one of the stronger dragons, [[Dragonwilds:Velgar]]. The god struck first with his greataxe, which bounced off Velgar's stony hide but still left a deep gash.{{CiteJournal|journal=Iron Greataxe|quote=Bandos was also a fan of the aesthetic. While he favoured the sheer brutality of the Kyzaj, he chose to wield a great axe against Velgar.}} Then, in a display of bravado and arrogance, Bandos removed his weapon, armor, and protective ward, and charged after Velgar unarmed.{{CiteJournal|journal=Bloodblight Cape|quote=Yet, arrogance is not a mortal taint, and the war god reeked of it. Bandos cast aside his wards. He refused to don his armour. The god pressed into the lair of the great dragon, and tried to wrestle him to the grave.}} Bandos had Velgar in a headlock, his nails digging into Velgar's flesh and causing bleeding wounds. Victory seemed assured for Bandos, but in a final act of desperation, Velgar summoned a great stone from the air that dazed him. Seizing the opportunity, Velgar unleashed an anima-infused poison blast, which poisoned and weakened Bandos, shifting the momentum of the battle.

Realizing their god had fled the battle, but also went against his own teaching, the goblins were left with questions. Some would give up religion alltogether and become a baker, others would decide to worship Velgar.{{CiteJournal|journal=Muddy Scrawl|quote=Going to workship dragon now, maybe he make us dragons too? I bet goblin dragons would be strongest dragons of all. Velgar is new big high war god. Glory be to Velgar.}} After the [[Dragonwilds:Dragon Rebellion]], the goblins were left alone, along with the garou, becoming one of the few inhabitant within Ashenfall.
