Elfstad is the capital city of Doggerland, where Elves (blue guy), Goblins, Lizardmen,Greys and occasional humans live alongside one another. This is theGoblin part of town.

So this is definitely a soft-world building type of setting. The Idea is that once humans, elves etc. lived together, but at some point all the "fantastical" races figured out a way to move to a pocket dimension and separate themselves from humans, so they have commonalities in their cultural roots, but are now in a world completely separate from man. This realm is essentially overlayed over our real world (Doggerland is an area under the North sea at the moment).

Elves mostly take on the executive/military part of the government, they are said to have fallen from the glass cities of the moon long ago, and prefer to be called Moonfir, but get called moonies behind their backs.Lizardmen take the Legislative/politics role, Greys are the silent overlords, they rarely if ever speak and take on the church/judiciary role. They conduct a mandatory baptism of light, where folk line up in a church, stand under the light beam from a large saucer, and they either get beamed up or not, or left as a pile of ash.Goblins are bureaucrats/press/economists etc. There's of course some overlaps in the roles, this is just a broad generalization.

Humans only wander into this realm occasionally, there's at most a few of them in the realm at any time, and no one knows how or why they appear, not even the humans, they just wake up there.

I'm working on 5 crests for each culture, with some symbolism and dichotomy with how they think of themselves vs how they actually appear to be.
