''Your life as a goblin begins. You are one of the the thousands of young goblins roaming the City's alleyways, and filthy tunnels trying to survive as you have always done. Goblins in EFU: City of Rings worship a dual deity known as Ngog and Ozod, believed by goblins to be the origins of all goblin-kind. Ngog, the Father, deals with war, expansion, brutality, thievery, and all other vile goblin deeds while Ozod, the Mother, deals with fertility, survival, rituals, sacrifice, murder and other equally as vile goblin deeds. Their words are simple, their aims doubly so... SIRE, SPREAD, SURVIVE...'' | |||

=====Restrictions===== | ====Kobold==== | ||
Mortal enemies of halflings and gnomes, respectively, and just general enemies of pretty much everyone else, the filthy goblins and kobolds are a menace to societies everywhere. Although fiercely territorial and mostly far away from heavily populated areas, they do not often shy away from raiding when the potential is good; and where they are seldom more than a nuisance when alone, in great numbers they can cause great havoc. | |||
Kobolds reach heights of only 2 to 2-1/2 feet, have scaly skin in dark rusty brown to near black shades, glowing red eyes, and nonprehensile tails. | |||
''Your life so far has been one of drudgery and hardship. The Great Sibilant Empire is all but destroyed, yet the remnant caste system remains and with fewer slaves, you are the lowest of the low. You have spent your life toiling, working and serving those greater that yourself. Until, for whatever reason, you decided to flee. You are now an exile and live a squalid life in the sewers and dark places of the City of Rings, destined to die by the hand of the remants you fled from or the scaleless interlopers that now hunt you eagerly.'' | |||

*Goblins are not allowed in Ticker Square or the Peerage Ward without the oversight of a DM.

Breaking this rule will result in retirement. | *Goblins and Kobolds are not allowed in Ticker Square or the Peerage Ward without the oversight of a DM.
