Cruel and harshly regimented. I imagine plenty of people will be borrowing your conception of their tactics. Jilted Lover: Poor Krie'Sn! I felt for him.

Even that felt tacked-on, given that goblins don't have tails, so kobolds wouldn't wear goblin clothes well. Kyton Kidnapper(s): Great image, but inaccessible. Ignorance of the Law: If "the Law" is the word of a God, sure. But this seemed not so much a devine restriction as a simple curse.
