Concerning Goblins
Mischievous and sneaky, the goblins of Pangaea were originally swamp creatures. Living in squalor, eating bugs and playing tricks on those wandering through their lands. They would be likely to trip you with a root or tickle your ear with a reed while you were not looking. Being small and inconspicuous, they can be virtually undetectable when they wish (which seems impossible given their raucous natures).
Some goblins eventually developed larger asperations, leaving swamps to explore. Driven by their fancies. Naturally curious and playful creatures, their attention is drawn to bright and shiny objects. These they stash away in holes and hollow stumps. Protecting their small hordes with ferocity.
The most clever goblins have integrated themselves in human society, taking on the trappings of civility - while their rough looks and gruff voices tell a different story. Though due to their sporadic and joking nature, which can border on harmful, they are never fully trusted.
This is not to say there is no honor among goblins. Once they get an idea stuck in their heads they tend to fixate on it, being very driven towards their ends. This could vary from playing pranks to going on a spiritual quest for enlightenment. With wild imaginations there's no limit to what goblins who leave the comfort of their swamps will get up to.
Like most of the simple creatures of Pangaea, most goblins have only a basic understanding of the higher spiritual world. For the most part not concerning themselves with the gods or any sort of moral practice. Living instead by instinct and whatever premonition or inspiration strikes their small minds.
Politically goblins tend to be anarchists'. Reveling in chaos and the freedom that comes from lack of order. More often than not, for a goblin, the ends justify the means. Ultimately making it hard for them to form any kind of permanent organizational structures that don't start to dissolve almost immediately upon formation. Which doesn't stop them frying trying, and then failing spectacularly,
Goblins embody the quirky, driven, and strange. You could often find a goblin in society taking on the tasks of a performer, cook of exotic food, thief, gambler, or tinkerer. And sometimes, even oddly enough, a politician.
