Hydaelyn at large (is there a compilation of info yet?)

Ah, never mind my ramblings then, carry on.

And yes, in FFXI the moblins were the ones who created the underground settlement of Movalopolos, but the thing to remember is moblins were actually not goblins per se, but more an offshoot of the species (they looked larger than goblins and wore different shaped armour, not to mention they spoke differently, more with a husky, gasping pidgin accent compared to the goblins legible, if somewhat crude, common tongue - even their naming styles were different to goblins, hinting even more at moblins being 'different'.) The fact they even built a permanent city showed they were a culture and society separate to regular goblins, who were specifically stated being nomadic and transient in nature.

The fact they even built a permanent city showed they were a culture and society separate to regular goblins, who were specifically stated being nomadic and transient in nature.

This is what I find fascinating. We have our Illuminati goblins (who have very different armour and designs, versus regular FFXIV goblins). And this idea of a goblin city? It goes against what sort of know about our nomadic beastmen friends, yet at the same time, makes savvy business sense. If they establish a city, like the five races, they would have a lot more bargaining power. They are quite ingenious, a city of goblins might be surprisingly forward thinking!

Mayhaps this also opens the doorway to a goblin stronghold, dailies, and alas, even primal?
