They constantly feud with rival tribes for resources, land and title. They are so devious and lazy that they would rather steal resources from a neighboring tribe than produce them on their own. They are so untrustworthy that they would rather stab someone in the back than look at them. Welcome to the unpredictable world of King of the Goblins.
