Hobgoblin's are a more "civilized" race of Goblinoids, and are found throughout the world of Ariane. Though they are more civilized and friendly than most Goblinoids they are still mistrusted by many and thus tend to avoid Human, Elven and other settlements when possible.
Hobgoblins live in Villages of between 50 and 200, and tend to trade freely with those communities around them. They subsist on farming, hunting and trading, they are also fine crafters and Hobgoblin Leather, Metal and Wood Products bring a good price. Hobgoblin villages are very similar to those of humans and the only way to tell them apart at a distance are by noticing the Hobgoblins.
Hobgoblins are tall for goblins, averaging 5' 10" and weighing 165lb, they tend to be burly types, with a grey green skin and deep forest green eyes, dark brown and black hair predominates, though many hobgoblins are bald.
Hobgoblin troops are generally armed with Broadswords, Battleaxes, Spears and Crossbows, and like Banded Armour.
Hobgoblins are not very imaginative and while they make excellent troops, tend to follow set plans to the letter and thus are easy to lead into disaster, which is why their numbers remain fairly low. When serving in armies with imaginative leaders however , they can be devastaing fighters. Hobgoblin crafts and produce have similar problems, as they tend to be straight copies of someone another has created
