Message: <blockquote data-quote="Boojum" data-source="post: 1963200" data-attributes="member: 21028">Cut and pasted from the primer to my Shattered Skies campaign.Kobold:  Approximately 800 years before the Sundering, a large confederation of kobold tribes was afflicted by a horrific disease known as scale rot, which threatened to wipe them out.  In desperation, their chieftain turned to a nearby human kingdom for medical aid.  The humans agreed, but only on the condition that the kobolds agree to serve them.  The chieftain, with no other option, agreed to the terms, selling his people into slavery to save their lives.  Since then, kobolds have spread rapidly and become all but ubiquitous throughout human society.  A few lands have abolished the practice of slavery, but most still practice it, and everywhere kobolds occupy the bottom rung of society, performing all the tasks that are beneath the other races.  Although there are some kobolds that agitate for a mass uprising to “throw off the yoke of tyranny”, most are fairly content with their station.  They are safer, better housed, and better fed in most lands than they were in their tribal days, and although they do not occupy public positions of leadership, some kobolds can wield quite a bit of behind-the-scenes influence.  Enslaved kobolds are generally a bit less scrawny and paranoid than their wild cousins, and their scale color varies from dark green to tan, with rare albino kobolds considered touched by the spirits and accorded great respect.</blockquote>
