Editing Setting:Unified Setting/Goblins (section)

==Remnant Goblins==
Remnant goblins are those who remain in the few remaining outposts of their civilization (notably the [[Setting:Unified Setting/Sundered Isles|Sundered Isles]] and the Orzfandrecht freeport in [[Setting:Unified Setting/Everoc|Everoc]]). They are, in fact, a primarily naval group, however. The few cities are largely uninhabited.

In an effort to survive and keep their refugee peoples unified, the remnant goblins maintain a worldwide merchant fleet, touching on every continent and uniting the goblin communities in a web of trade and information. 

Other races have complained that goblin merchants are heavily armed and constitute a de facto navy. The goblins reply that their fleets are armed for the purposes of self-defense and to deal with the necro-ships that haunt the Sea of Ghosts. Any accusations of piracy are ludicrous and unworthy of reply. However if you are having a problem with pirates, signing a lucrative trade deal with the Goblin Nation should clear that problem right up. Purely as a byproduct of armed goblin merchants in your trade routes.
