[An excerpt from Volo’s forthcoming guide to goblin society, My Life Among the Conquering Host.]

It has oft been noted that goblins are cowardly, tending to flee from robust challenges, and scattering far and wide if their leaders are felled. I tell you that it is not always so! The goblins of my recent acquaintance - fine though uncouth fellows by and large - have a fiery courage, fuelled by their love of the Absolute. From the mighty magic-wielding booyahg to the lowly muck- troubling pariah, they seem more willing to fight - and indeed to die - for this new god than even the most stalwart devotee of Helm or Tempus. So far, I have been unable to discover the domain or provenance of this emboldening deity, but with every hour that passes, I come closer to the truth of the matter. For now, know this - priests and trusted devotees of this god, even be they goblins, are capable of wielding more powerful magics than even I can conjure!
