The Elder Scrolls
Throughout the franchise, including the 2006 "Oblivion", goblins have been used as an NPC class of monsters. The goblins featured in Oblivion are semisentient, diminutive pale greenskined barbarians. They range in power from the weak and cowardly "peon" goblins to the mighty goblin warlords. Also found in game are several goblin "tribes." Each tribe has a totem, and will go to war with other tribes to take their totem, or to reclaim their own. Goblins who are members of a tribe will attack goblins of other tribes, but will ignore non-tribal goblins.
In the "Tribunal" expansion for "The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind," it was revealed that High Elves used goblins to build slave armies. The Neravarine fought one such army in the sewers of Mournhold.

Famous quotes containing the word elder:
“Man is the only one that knows nothing, that can learn nothing without being taught. He can neither speak nor walk nor eat, and in short he can do nothing at the prompting of nature only, but weep.”
—Pliny The Elder (23–79)
