Eborim

The Eborim or 'Goblins' are a desert dwelling species found in the Burning Wastes.

History
The Eborim are the only truly native sapient race to Saldaria. They predate both the Snow Elves and the humans in their arrival to this continent, but due to living in a largely nomadic society within the desert they have not settled the rest of the continent, thus have remained seculur and primitive.

Upon the arrival of the Silari to Saldaria the two races made contact and began to trade, blending their two languages into a new tongue which is still used by the Eborim today.

Regarded as bandits, the Eborim have had to prey upon travellers and caravans in order to survive in the harsh conditions of the desert. However as it is later discovered by Eviron and party, the Eborim are a culturally rich society which used to roam from oasis to oasis, until they were claimed by the human settlers. With no alternative to water the Eborim were driven to thievery. As this progressed throughout the centuries, the discrimination against the Eborim grew to the point in which they didn't consider the Eborim to be sentient.

Biology
The Eborim are green skinned, red haired and short in stature, averaging 5'6" in height. What they lose in height, they gain in strength and breadth. Well known for their endurance, an Eborim can survice in the heat of the desert for a number of days with no water. Another lesser known fact of the Eborim is their androgyny. The Eborim have no 'men' and 'women,' as gender plays no role in their society.

Society
Previously a nomadic society, the Eborim used to rely on travelling between the oasis' within the desert in order to find food and water. However due to the restriction of both of these by human settlers the Eborim hasve resorted to raiding caravans and hiding in desert caves. The Eborim function largely as a shamanic society in which the magic users (who are rare) are given access to wisdoms that make them clan leaders.
