The PeopleThe dominant life forms on Gobheim are the goblins. Goblins are on

average four and a half feet tall and eighty-five pounds. They have greenwarty skin, which is usually tattooed in spiral patterns that cover most of thetorso and arms. They have large pointy noses and ears and their legs andarms are slightly disproportionate to each other. Goblins reproduce quicklyand quite often; which leads to fierce competition between the clans forresources. The goblin social structure is dominated by the largest

toughest male who usually obtains the position of chief by challenging theprevious one to single combat. The chief is advised by the high priest ofMaglubiyet who advises on military policy and the high priest of Kurtulmakwho advises on non-military policy. There are no hard and fast social rules ingoblin culture other than to defer to those who are bigger than you and to doyour job. Those who disobey those simple rules are often killed by asuperior in a fit of rage or sacrificed to Maglubiyet. The goblins are possesseof a pre-industrial black powder technology level and have been stuck therefor hundreds of years due primarily to the fact that in general they just arentvery bright. Other life forms on Gobheim are generally referred to as grots,which are, domesticated non-food sources and squigs, which are,

domesticated food sources. Gobheim is a largely temperate planet with largeswathes of woodlands and prairies. The more technologically advancedgoblins live near the coasts while the further into the continents the morebackwards the technology goes. For the most part they rely on what they callbig grots to travel on dirt roads, other than that they use rivers and otherbodies of water as transport.

The spoken language is a very violent language with over 90 ways to sakill; and none for love but plenty for lust, which is oftenaccompanied by a wink and a nudge.

Squiggoth

FoodThe gargantuan SquiggothIs the primary source ofmeat for goblins. Squig-goths are raised in herdsand are jealously guardedby the clan that owns themfor they can generate a lot

of food and otherbyproducts.

The Gud Rut is the primary vegetablethat the goblins eat. Its root is good

tasting especially in a mashed statewith squiggoth gravy. Its leaves whenchewed on act as a stimulant, whichmakes it popular with the manual labor-ers and soldiers.
