On Goblins: My Life Among the Conquering Host

On Goblins: My Life Among the Conquering Host was yet-unpublished manuscript that described the ecology of goblins and goblinoid culture, written by the famous bard and world-weary traveler, Volothamp Geddarm.

"The goblins of my recent acquaintance - fine though uncouth fellows by and large - have a fiery courage, fueled by their love of the Absolute."

- Excerpt from On Goblins: My Life Among the Conquering Host.

Description
The writing existed as a set of loosely-bound sheets, inscribed with text and rough sketches of various goblins.

Content
The draft of this work contained hastily-written notes regarding the culture of goblins that were assimilated into the cult of the Absolute. It noted how these goblins possessed held a zealous love for the goddess they referred to as the Absolute. It was that passion that set them apart from other tribes; they did not demonstrate the cowardice of typical goblin-kind, and did not scatter in fear when their leaders were slain in battle. On Goblins spoke of more-potent magic―or "booyagh" in the goblin tongue―wielded by the cult's resident priests.

History
As of the, the only copy of Volo's manuscript remained in the possession of Booyagh Piddle.
