“Back in those days, the Empire hadn’t spread over the entire continent just yet.”
“There were still several nomadic tribes. Not just goblins, either.”
“Did your tribe have a name?”
“No, not really. We were made up of the remnants of almost a dozen different clans.”

The main weakness of oral history is that it only takes one generation of external threat to end a chain.
Spooky Scary Skeletons!
