Fire's Rest

Fire's Rest is a village of kobolds, on the edge of the Darkwood Forest, next to Stoutforge Hall.

History

The red scaled kobolds formerly occupied the ruins of a dwarven monastery between the Darkwood Forest and the Soulforge Mountains.  After the chieftain of the kobolds kidnapped several of the children from the human settlement of Eagle's Landing, a group of adventurers (known later as The Heroes of Eagle's Landing) took back the monastery and made their way into the tunnels below, intent on rescuing the children.  The bard known as Bob made friends with one of the kobold miners, a kobold named Kibbo, and convinced him to join their cause.  Kibbo, with the adventurer's help, would declare himself the new chieftain and aid them in saving the children, and defeating the old chieftain and his shaman.
Chief Kibbo declared that his people would leave the dwarven ruins and form a village outside of it, so that the dwarves may take it back, and that they would devote themselves to agriculture and stop raiding human settlements.  After the first night of his rule, he had a strange dream, where he claimed The Soulforger himself (the patron deity of the dwarves), said he had great potential, and he woke up with magical powers and a magic adamantine hammer.  He then organized his people and with the help of his adventuring friends, made peace with Lord Carmen Saclor, the ruler of the forest and Eagle's Landing, and began to acquire plows and seed to start farming in earnest.  
When the Stoutforge Clan took over the old dwarven ruins and made into Stoutforge Hall, Kibbo worked with them as well to clean out the ruins and in turn, they helped to teach his people how to defend themselves properly, and the two peoples worked well together.  Unfortunately, peace in the village was shortlived.
Later that year, Lord Vakius Orivor, a necromancer, returned to the lands after having been driven out of Eagle's Landing, and his undead army laid siege to Eagle's Landing and Fire's Rest, forcing most of the kobolds to flee into the forest or the mountains.  The dwarves of Stoutforge Hall fought valiantly, but were forced to abandon the hall due to the sheer number of undead.  Chief Kibbo used his growing powers (for he was becoming more draconic every day) to fly to Eagle's Landing.  Unfortunately, Lord Carmen Saclor was nowhere to be found, and his ten year old son, was left as it's leadership, with the help of the priestess Amara Chambert.  Thankfully, the hero Alan Quinlan arrived with his traveling companion, Kira, and found the only solution was for them to sneak back out of the village and find and kill the necromancer.  Kibbo was able to tell them that the necromancer was in the mines of the dwarven hall, and so Alan, Kira, Kibbo, and the priestess Amara snuck out past the undead, and fought their way into the dwarven hall.  With their combined powers, they were able to defeat the wizard and restore peace to the area.  Chief Kibbo was able to round up the villagers who survived, and the people of Fire's Rest have been welcome in Eagle's Landing ever since.
