An Introduction and a Neglected Tribe

Greetings and Salutations! I am Perry, goblin secret agent. I am a goblin as I am a mischievous creature that lives in a poorly illuminated cave. And what better way for me to prove that I am a secret agent but show my official secret agent card. Yeah it does make magic more difficult to [...]
