There is a seriously untapped market in this game for goblins considering there already exists goblin enemies.

A few ideas:

Lore:
Some goblins are PCs, other are stupid grunts. Why? Did we misunderstand them?
- Blessed by Isespia = smorter
- Half-goblins (dunno if this one's a good idea)
- You can awaken a goblin's intelligence with X process, like maybe goblins are made the same way as the black beasts and with enough magic mud or other components they can be "improved"
- Goblins who go into dark zones get smort?
- If a goblin is born under the right constellation, month, etc, it can awaken?
- Maybe we just didn't give them a chance before now :^) and the empire would cull their populations as they are classified as monsters, but now goblins are starting to detach from the old tribes for x reason. This could be an interesting point of racial tension
- A celestial event caused some goblins to become cool(er)

In the end, I think there needs to be some shift to the entire lore around goblins for this to fully make sense and transition. Developping what they are, or what they were before whatever change would occur to make this an interesting race. I think a lot could be gained from it especially since I don't think goblins overlap thematically much with any other race in the game.

Were goblins created for a purpose? To build a really tall tower perhaps?

Racials ideas:
- Bonuses to using alchemical items like bombs and maybe the more niche ones like strange liquid
- Small size = more evasion, can hide behind objects?
- Ability to enter the tile of an ally
- Bonuses to sneaking
- Nerfed version of earth child
- Some earth spell, like mud skin or something
- Regen life when standing on grass, mud or stone?
- Summon a single goblin mercenary in pvp :^)


Traits:
- Pillage one more gold bar from chests?
- Bonuses when fighting with other goblins!
- Something about shamanism. Consuming spirits in combat perhaps
- Ability to bribe human and goblin enemies to make them join you!
- Bonus to goblin mercenaries? Maybe that's going too deep, but I like the idea of goblin "pack tactics" being at play
- Using the steal skill successfully gives you some murai  if in non-spar pvp, this takes it from the player


Anyway, goblin girls, enough said

Add a gremlin subrace too that can rip apart engineer bots.
