It used to upset me, but I'm more tolerant to it now that I know...*drum roll*... the secret origin of the word "kobold"!!!Actually, I don't know precisely what it is, but that roughly means something about the fact mythological kobolds are the Keepers of the Burried Treasures. You know, they were those sprites who would leave clues to vein of rich ore if the miners were friendly to them (i.e., leaving them offerings), but that would provoke cave-ins and firedamps otherwise.And this name has the same origin as an eerie, strange metal found underground, a blue metal; the cobalt.That's right, kobolds and cobalts are linguistically brothers. This would give credency to the dragonblood theory, kobolds descending from cobalt dragons.EditPS: Forrester, <a href="http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39461" target="_blank">here's a thread for you !</a></blockquote>
