===Relations===

The coggleborn goblin is in a strange place in history, having literally dug themselves to the surface only in recent times.  They hail from the depths under the Brassblood mountain range where they made contact with the surface races.  Many are unsure how to treat these "new" goblins, holding former grudges against their kind.  This is especially true for dwarves and gnomes who often have clashed with goblins and now have goblins who have more in common with them then other races.  They appreciate having other metalsmithing races to trade with, but they suspect them so especially since coggleborn goblins are often vague on their own history.  Though much has been recorded about science, technology, and other experiments coggleborn social history is patchwork and often forgotten.

The rumor goes that the coggleborn were normal goblins who had been destroyed by dwarves, but a kindly dwarf (or in some tales a gnome) had taken in goblin children he found and raised them.  These goblins, though mischievous, grew up good and well and soon revealed that they were much better at then the dwarves for getting into smalll spaces and working on their grand machines.  And so an entire goblin civilization arose from these humble beginnings, until eventually the dwarves faded away and were supplanted by their effective children.  This is how the coggleborn tell it, though they admit it is probably just a story and they don't have record of it.  Yet others would say they are cursed gnomes who were smote by an angry god to live as goblins, or goblin invaders who conquered a dwarven settlement and took their technology, putting it into their own culture.

In the end, the dwarves have a suspicious and cautious friendship with the coggleborn goblins.  The gnomes, less prone to traditional thoughts, have accepted them more openly.  And others have mixed opinions but have largely accepted them for who they claim to be.  They see other goblins as pitiable, and have a slight distrust of elves, for it seems their first contact with another race was with the far more deplorable drow.
