That is not entirely true. While their culture is truly against the cities and the races in them but that doesn't mean that each individual is. In the Gridania story I helped the Sylphs with an empire invasion and I believe that I read somewhere that the goblins once traded with the three cities before packing up and disappearing.
It is not entirely impossible that a goblin or sylph would defect to a city out of differing beliefs or fear of death from their own society.
