Goblins - Tricks, Traps and... Trauma? | DnD Lore

Описание: Ever wondered if there's more to goblins than just being dungeon fodder? Join Ember Rivenveil and Ronan Greymark on Realm Talk as we peel back the layers of perception to reveal the astonishing truth behind these often-misunderstood creatures! This episode begins with a compelling personal tale of an unexpected goblin encounter, setting the stage for a deep dive into their complex history.

We explore compelling evidence suggesting that goblins, along with hobgoblins and bugbears, were once distinct Fey races, embodying aspects of wild nature and trickery. But what catastrophic event transformed these vibrant beings into the cowering, opportunistic creatures we often encounter? We uncover the devastating impact of Maglubiyet, the tyrannical deity whose campaign of cultural and spiritual annihilation forged them into a militaristic people driven by fear.

Discover how Maglubiyet's brutal rule created a species-wide psychological trauma, making their notorious traits like cowardice and cruelty into learned survival mechanisms, not inherent evil. This episode will forever change how you view goblins, adding profound moral complexity to every encounter. It's a journey from simple monstrous antagonists to a traumatized, enslaved people with a tragic past.
