The same place. The same actors and a few more new goblin children yet.

Dear Goblin-Papa! It has become very cold in our cave! Could you check the heating?
Dear Goblin-Mom! There's no need to check it, it works! It's just that yesterday, as representatives of the new government, we broke up the local forge, because its owner was Dwarves. And even though only goblins worked on it, and only goblins used the forge's products, too, all the profits from the sale of hammers and picks went to a distant underground forest owned by Dwarves, which means to our enemies. And even if this forge was the only source of heat in our settlement, it should have been closed! That's what the surface elves said. And they also promised to employ all the dismissed goblins in the new quarry, and sell us new picks of their own production. And although they are worse and more expensive, but these are the right picks, created with the money of our friends, which means they are better for the Mold Revolution than our old ones!
Dear Goblin Papa! The owner of the forge was not dwarves, but an old Orc, who in the past organized holidays in our settlement at his own expense and built a road to the port. By the way, no one has seen him since yesterday, and we have a new baby!
Dear Goblin Mom! New children are very welcome! The elf from the surface said that even our children will now be able to work in the quarry and carry heavy stones to build a new life!

The   parabolic  growth   of  world   population  continues.
Population  growth   rate  rises  linearly  with   time,  so
population rises as the square of time. Silver per capita is
also rising linearly with time, so world silver is rising as
the cube of time. All  very odd, I was expecting exponential
growth.
