Default "Goblins, Life through their eyes" - RP question - - 02-25-2007, 12:45

Having read the comic up to its currently last chapter, I'm of an opinion that it's not a matter of perspective, but rather a matter of how perspective is irrelevant.

The adventurers expect goblins to be evil, basing this on what they have heard, the actions of certain goblins in the past, and possibly just on the fact that they're ugly little buggers.

The goblins, in turn, expect all adventurers to be evil buggers, basing this on (rather violent) previous experience, what they heard etc.

While in fact, good and evil have absolutely no relation to perspective here. The white goblin tribe leaders are evil. They enslave people, only think goblins deserve to live etc. At the same time, Goblinslayer is evil, as is Saral. They torture and are probably trying to take over the city, and don't seem to be troubled at all by the possibility of some person being murdered in an alley.


And by and large, both the general human and general goblin populations are prejudiced and ignorant.
