Thanks to Daeron Silvermoon, Sir Aragonius and Ashag, whose positive remarks have imbued me with yet, more creative and rebellious flair. This chapter is devoted to them.

The Goblin Truce
 Unbeknown to the Seven at their time of ruling, there existed two beings, “The Founders,”; Yerick a male goblin and Clidilk a female. These “Founders,” created the basic mould of the Seven, (Who then created their own appearances) yet had no special powers of their own.
 The years of The Seven’s sovereignity passed and died and Eliza came to power whilst the goblins reproduced beneath the ground.
Their numbers soon swelled to the hundreds just as Eliza had created her puppets.
The Goblins saw the other species as a threat and, with the Seven in shackles beneath Eliza’s feet, The Founders and their children had no protection from Eliza’s power mad creations. Realising their homes would be burned, their children slaughtered and their women raped, if the other Illarionites were to find them, Yerick and Clidilk went to Eliza’s throne deep within the desert to form a truce. They hoped that Eliza would cast a spell over them, to prevent them from being found by the other races.
 It took them a week to traverse the treacherous sands and their fighting ranks were severely thinned along the way by desert spiders, but they eventually made it to her throne. The throne itself was tall and culminated at the top of many flights of stairs as a glorious chair atop which Eliza sat watching the species wage war against each other. She had many faeries attending to her needs; peeling grapes, performing various tricks to which she showed little or no attention. At a whim she would kill one and pierce it’s frail body upon her lizard-claws. She would then devour the body and clean her teeth with the faeries beautiful yet brittle wings. The goblins thought this was a horrendous death for such a beautiful creature, yet realised this was one less enemy to be concerned about.
 The Goblins made their way to the stairs and Yerick, with his wife, climbed the tower/throne gingerly. As they made their way up, they noticed The Seven chained on a common pole at various heights. The Goblins took pity on then and tended to their wounds. Waking from a pain-induced sleep, Hobart asked:
“Who…who a…re you...u?”
Gently pulling back his cute-halfling-fringe and mopping his brow, Clidilk replied, “Your mother.” But the pain was too much for Hobart, who missed the old parties and he drifted back into an ephemeral sleep.
They had made it to Eliza. Suddenly, a dwarf, clad in deep leather and brandishing a heavy axe, jumped before the goblin duo.
“I am Gandurn, servant of Eliza.” The Goblins noticed out of the corner of their eyes a member of each other race, clad in similar leather garb. They individually introduced themselves as;
“Simon Jelt,” an elf, was brandishing a fine wooden bow.
“Selena Gardner,” a humanness, was wielding a mighty flamesword.
“Ig ‘Knar,” a lizard, was furiously displaying his skills with a trident.
“Yolei,” a faerie, shone with a bright yellow light, belying her magical prowess.
“Jonathan Blackstock,” a halfling, swung a morning star above his head.
 Clidilk and Yerick realised that it wasn’t going to be so easy to achieve a truce with Eliza. Smiling, Eliza licked her wizened lizard-lips with her forked tongue and proclaimed:
“Thissssss ssssshalllllll be interessssting.”

Simonic jace, is this the same eliza as in the shop?
If so, I don't think you should give her such an important role in your history.
Don't worry, she won't mind, being the richest person in illarion should be good enough for her
