Mithrandir, what makes you think it strange taht there be such a diversity as that among a specie? Just look at our own, most sources say that the English are the rudest nationality. (If anyone here is English I appologize if you are offended, for I'm english too) And some peoples are naturally friendlier than others, depending upon traditions and cultural evolution (is that a term?) Now if one wishes to start a topic entitled "Orc\Goblin Culture" be my guest.

As for the question of if they are related, I think I read somewhere saying that goblins were smaller orcs, but the two were akin. Prap's only the larger warriors were termed 'Orcs' and the lesser version of these 'goblins'. Praps goblins were shunned for being weaker and the groups left their bretheren and settled areas of their own, such as goblin town. Just a theory mind you.

They all gazed at him. His hair was white as snow in the sunshine; and gleaming white was his robe; the eyes under his deep brows were bright, piercing as the rays of the sun; power was in his hand. Between wonder, joy, and fear they found no words to say. 'I have passed through fire and deep water, since we parted. I have forgotten much that I thought I knew, and learned much that I had forgotten. I can see things far off, but many things close at hand I cannot see. I shall tell you of my tales at <a href=http://pub58.ezboard.com/bsuldalskeep>Sûldal's Keep</a> ." </p>
