Kobold

Kobolds in Sarion

kobolds in Sarion are a small race of reptile-like creatures that live in large series of underground tunnels that curve and wind through their cave homes. They are small and physically weak, using traps to protect themselves against intruders. They are very greedy and enjoy collecting many valuable items. They often serve chromatic dragons, seeing them as godlike creatures of great power. When they serve dragons who also have a dragonborn following, the kobolds are almost always placed beneath the dragonborn. Kobolds are all over the world, hiding in their caves and tunnels underground.
Kobolds do not care about the other races and are only interested in personal preservation and gain. They will steal from and kill other creatures without any hesitation if it means getting something they want. But kobolds despite their cunning, are fearful creatures, this leads them to avoiding the other races. Even though they are willing to kill, they know they are smaller and weaker then almost every other creature and thus keep to their caves.

Sarion Kobold Traits
