Coupled with writing of speculation from diegetic sources, the objective truth is intentionally left vague and incomplete for a player group to draw their own conclusions:+=== Digression: A Goblin's Identity Crisis ===

 Even in the context of the discussion within this document, there is no acceptable term to describe Goblins with. Goblins and Goblinoid were coined terms by **The Academy **for the sole purpose of giving their species a name. House Elves are a theoretical concept, realised through the Goblin’s suitable characteristics. Who knows what the original tongue of the Green Elves and their self-reference was… Even then, the term “Elves'' was a term coined by the populace to refer to this mythical creature that circulates in legends and myths! Even in the context of the discussion within this document, there is no acceptable term to describe Goblins with.

 The movement has crossed a long history of rejection and prosecution. Yet the movement persisted till this day. In the present day, the movement has become a cultural phenomenon, gathering a cult following in the high ranks of nobility. The possession of Neko-Goblins as pets has become a favourite activity and symbol of prosperity. The most notable of which is the __House Elf Knights of the Royal Guards__, a Knight Corps that served to protect and act as playmates for young royalty. The movement has crossed a long history of rejection and prosecution.
