Kobolds

The History
Kobolds are considered to be the cousins of Digratz, as originally kobolds were a subspecies of them. Unlike Digratz Kobolds spent most of their time digging deep underground for food and shelter, while Digratz occupy existing structures such as Ironfang mountain and numerous mine or cave systems around the realm, the Kobolds create their own. It is unknown how they inherited the ability for such supreme craftsman ship and mining prowess but many consider it that Usess had a role in it, bestowing them with some values of Men. While Digratz are considered to be a nuisance to virtually all evolved races across the realm, kobolds are praised for their mining feats. Kobolds hold their own and only settlement in the Yellow Rock mountains called Kazmagir. Kobolds are said to be old as the Orcs, as they assisted them with building their first settlement in the Vale. Kobolds generally serve as the realms builders and miners being in good terms nearly all races.

Society and Religion
Kobolds are seen as the realms friendliest creatures as they virtually help anyone in need. They are hard workers and take pride in their craftsman ship, it is said that a stone wall built by a Kobold novice is at least twice as stronger than the one made by a veteran craftsman from any other race. Kobolds live very stationary lifes only traveling when working on construction,they live in small tightknit families in the city of Kazgamir, politics and administration are left to the many guilds within the city. They have a very small standing army only created to protect their city and sovereignty, in fact kobolds are so peaceful that hey have never engaged in warfare with any other race or species. They are even good terms with the Digratz and often provide them with aid and shelter when needed. Kobolds worship their saint patron called Kul'kaz legends say that a Digrat blessed with the knowledge of the best human masons picked up a hammer and chisel and created a statue in honour of Usess and Astranaar. This statue is considered to be a lost artifact and many Kobolds dedicated their lives in locating it, if a Kobold is to find one they will be blessed with immense skill and prowess. Kobolds are only lukewarm towards the Dwarfs of Ironfang as they consider them to be their greatest rivals in terms of architecture and craftsmanship. Dwarfs are also every boastful, a trait Kobolds aren't too keen on. Kobolds can wield Arkada. Kobolds speak commontongue and also rat-talk.
