So I did my research to find anything that supported the claim that Goblins would be welcome in major cities and found nothing.

However, it also wasn't explicitly stated that they would be attacked on site. I even looked at the Baldur's Gate demographics. Nothing indicated any population of Goblins.

However, Goblins, especially females, do leave Goblin society behind and start new lives closer to human lands or elsewhere - at least I found some support for that anyway.

I also recall various campaigns that involved PC controlled Goblins, but generally these were not in major high pop locales.

The Cold Road by Zee Bashew comes to mind, where it is stated that the Frost Goblins used to have good relations with the local village (Horseshoe Village) and one Frost Goblin becomes a member of the party - but not without some 'misunderstandings'.



So I would say this is very much down to the DM of your campaign, some good dice rolls, and context. I would def be interested in seeing what playing a goblin is like, but you have to expect a lot of hostility.
