Homebrew Fey Goblin Species Details
Fey goblins originate from the hidden realm, a place that few have ever heard of and even fewer believe exist, unlike the other realms the only way to enter or exit the realm is to pass through the void. As such death is a more serious affair, as when people die their souls must travel through the void to get to the afterlife. The few souls that make the journey there won't make it back. Due to this most gods, devils and demons have little to no influence on this realm, only the most powerful can exert any influence here. Even then only beings like goblins are devout enough to follow their commands.

Seen as an outcasts from goblin society, the Gloom-trodden have sought to find their place in the world. Many have found service in the houses of the rich, others continue the ways of their ancestors, while some wonder the realm searching for a home.
