    My goblins were a lower caste of orcs sorted away at a young age due to their small size, they are a servent class. though orcs who are pastoralists with a high protein meat based diet are overall large enough to not produce goblins.

      That’s interesting, and could be a pretty direct way to deal with topics like casteism or eugenics. Do your goblins ever try to reclaim power? Have their circumstances led them to claim a new identity or belief system?

      Maybe there are factional divides in goblin culture around whether to remain culturally orcish or embrace new ways. Maybe there are even rifts in orc society over how to deal with the fallout of the divisions their ancestors have sown.

      Maybe they’ve got the same religious ideas but they’ve created a new way to worship, or maybe their smaller stature and decreased privilege has led to a wholly different style of cuisine.

      When you’re born into a world where you’re not accepted or valued, you find a way to walk in your own truth even if you’re not valued by the society you’re in.
