Yes, all good, except....the novels aren't always considered canon. I
believe there was some recent debate over many 'mistakes' in the latest
novel, 'Run Fast, Die Hard'. Basically what came out of it, was that
novels are not considered canon, unless there is something backing them up
in one of the sourcebooks. As no-one has posted anything backing this up
from any sourcebook, I'm inclined to believe it isn't there, anywhere.
I've checked all mine, and I can't find anything in a sourcebook that says
anyone 'goblinized' into a elf or dwarf, and I have all the sourcebooks.
So, I'd agree with the side that says no one goblinized into elfs or
dwarfs, only orks and trolls.
