First Edition Biography

File:RedGoblins1steditionrules.PNG

Many Goblins and other lesser creatures are attracted  to the wealth and power of Ogre mercenary armies.  They become camp followers and attend to all of the  most menial of tasks in an Ogre encampment, but  are occasionally used as support archers by the Ogres,  who have noticed the little ones’ ability with the bow. 

Traditionally the Ogres request ‘their’ Goblins to wear  red rags in order to distinguish them from the enemy  in the mayhem of battle, thus avoiding unpleasant  incidents. This has led to the nickname of ‘Red Goblins’,  that these creature bear now with great pride.
