The Kobolds are a race of dragonkin hailing from the lands of Aurum. Their societies exist to serve the cruel dragonlords and all they produce goes to the dragon ruling over them. They are also the footsoldiers in the dragons' legions, fighting against other Kobold legions and dragonborn armies for dominance on Aurum.
Seeing a Kobold on one of the other continents, makes folks rather wary. About half the time, when Kobold ships arrive from across the sea, they emerge to trade their wares, strange and beautiful crafts and trinkets, collecting gold to bring home and offer to their dragon overlords. The other half of the time, they arrive armed to teeth, set to plunder whatever poor settlement they come across for goods and gold and will kill any hapless commoner that stands in their way.
Rarely, a kobold village will be forced to leave Aurum when the dragon they serve is killed by a rival. Fearing retribution, they set sail to new lands, settling wherever they can. Often these settlements are noticed by a dragon ex-patriot and the dragon takes them on as its servants. Rarely they exist freely and independent, enjoying their new found freedom from the draconic castes.
The patron constellation of the Kobolds is Draco.
