[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9469834, member: 7006"] I don't own [I]Exploring Eberron[/I] yet so I don't know if the Khaar'paal are talked about in that book... but when I read the bits you are talking about in [I]Frontiers[/I], my impression I got from the bits was that the subjective view of people in the land of northern Droaam and Breland only [I]thought[/I] that the Khaar'paal kobolds were a nomadic tribe to the south on the westernside of the Graywall Mountains... but that the truth was that they actually had a hidden town within the Graywall. And that the Khaar'paal kobolds in the southern part of the Tents were only assumed to be part of that nomadic tribe (which is why their tent construction and organization was so efficient) because that's what they thought the Khaar'paal were. So for me personally it didn't seem quite so contradictory... but only that the different parts seemed to switch from the perspective of the people in the area of Quickstone and what they though was true, and the top-down omniscient perspective of the actual truth. But since I don't own that other book that might go into more detail about the kobolds, these contradictions showing up in [I]Frontiers[/I] might be more pronounced and messed up and what you picked up on? I really can't say. I do agree though that the switch from thoughts of the people at ground-level and the godlike perspective from above in the detailing does get a bit confusing at times and having to untangle rumor from truth wasn't often clear.
