Author's description

Though hard to believe, there was a time when Goblins ruled the lands. Thanks to their gold, they enjoyed a prosperity which dominated the dreams of all other races. One day however, the magic suddenly vanished. Today, news tells you of Goblins travelling to the north. Is that where the gold is now?
