The Unified Kobold Kinship
Cities
Here we will show the maps of the kingdoms, duchies and lands throughout each of the ages.King's End
A city founded deep within the forested hills of the kobold lands, said to be the capital and only city of true note within the territory. Though clans controlled vast amounts of the territory, no official settlements were built outside of King's End in the beginning of the first age. As it is believed that Zakris Vulpo wanted to open the world up to the kobold nation and bring greater wealth to his people who believed they could become dragons through it. Deep beneath the city it is said that those who find themselves in these tunnels will meet the one known as Pale Eye. Many adventurers who thought it an easy bounty to take on the great beholder found themselves cut down or enslaved for the greater good of the kobolds kingdom. The city was known to have large amounts of guards who had once been adventurers now controlled by the city and set to guard it forever. Though you would believe this would keep seekers of fortune and fame away, however the city of King's End is said to have been extremely busy port town. With architecture that was said to be so precise it left one weeping upon viewing it, like a paradise the city sports gardens of exotic materials never seen before on the material plane. Smiths who work with metals thought to have never been possible, large schools dedicated to the understanding of magic. Though the underdark of the city is noted as one of the few zone that even the dragons dare not intrude upon without an army to back them. As it is said, the beholder colony that lays beneath the city is the greatest threat or savior depending on how well they are treated throughout history.Nobility
Here we shall discuss notable noble houses through the time periods.Zakris Vulpo
Born to a proud brown dragon clan, Zakris was noted for having watched his clan fall as he was sold into slavery. The young brown Kobold would later escape his captors in the Mov'asi's empire, and flee south, eventually getting a boat to the southern continent. Zakris is noted as having become a leader of multiple clans of kobolds and dominating the drake and dragonkin in the area. The powerful sorceror would later go on to conquer the entirety of the kobold clans, and with his legendary blade that he crafted called "Tyrant Slayer" the young leader would begin to reshape the histories of the kobold nation. Many believe that Zakris's great power comes from the strange beholder that lives within his nation. As the two seem to regularly meet, many advisors and visitors have noted the ancient appearing beholder even attending meetings between the various kobold clans. Zakris himself stands half as tall as an average dragonborne, with large arms and legs, many have noted him for his almost vedan like stockyness. Zakris is said to be a capable smith who practices his craft day and night, continously attempting to forge new items to slay the dragons with. As his hatred for those who rule the sky seems to burn greater then anything, with a want for power, revenge, and a hatred of those within the main continent of Crakec. Many believe the young warlord to be willing to cross the seas and conquer the lands himself once ready.Noteable Nobility
Here we shall discuss the current ages nobles and royalsZOHZU "THE FOUR BLESSED" FORMDIS
The top oath taker who serves The Pale Eye directly, Zohzu is a dragonkin of golden scale coloration. He is well known for his pride but immense capabilities amongst those sworn to the beholder. Zohzu has a unique or blessed mutation depending on your culture, with two eye stocks having grown from his head. He has begun to gain powers far beyond what he was once capable of and is noted as a threat to the leader of the Kobolds. Zohzu having watched as a mere weak kobold managed to do what he could not as they were born first, it was beyond his capability to understand. Zohzu can be noted for carrying a large gnarled staff that looks eerily similar to a dried eye stock, with a large obisidian black gemstone at the peak of it. He is also known for his heavy armor crafted and blessed by The Pale Eyed.THE PALE EYED
Known for his large central eye that was blinded during a battle with one of the ancient dragons that once called the lands it's home. Ol Pale Eye as the kobolds call him is noted for his jolly nature, seeming to enjoy teaching young kobolds how to use magic and be proper amongst society. While seeming to have only twelve stocks, many have noted that Pale Eye has an extra stock that has grown out the back of the creature over the years. Having a strange rocky like substance gathering around it, none have yet to see what color the eye is or what it can do. It is said that The Pale Eyed is a beholder that is second only to cereseki in power during the first age but with a more nefarious plan. Many historians believed the creature interested in indoctronating the kobolds into it's hive as it continued to spend most of its ability dominating other beholders that it had dreamt up to serve it. Noted as being 22ft wide, the creature seems to be capable of spells beyond many of the mortals who serve it's understanding. Some historians still believe that The Pale Eyed is actually the first beholder, and after losing a battle with Cereseki to take over the niwarves at the time, that instead The Pale Eyed, now wounded, would head south to find an easier target with kinder ways of conversion. Due to this discovery, historians continue to believe that The Pale Eyed was indeed a hive mother born into the world due to a disturbance between gods of such power that a creature like this was forced to exist from the backlash.ROGO VULPO
Believed to have been the brother of Zakris, Rogo was born a drakekin with the same size of his brown dragon parent. Having been noted as so strong he was capable of pulling boulders the size of small towns out of the ground. Rogo was believed to have been the naturally expected leader of the kobold clans when he first arrived twenty years before his brother. Though due to his lack of understanding, the muscled warrior ended up tricked into the service of multiple wyvernkin and dragonkin, furthering each of their goals at court until catching onto the truth. Only to kill them moments after and watch as what he thought would now be his power would crumble as he did not understand how to maintain it. Many believe the large drakekin is aiming for his brothers throne just like all the others.Military

Here we shall discuss the notable wars for each period and who they were against.Religious beliefs
Here we shall discuss the different religious beliefs in this kingdoms history throughout the periods.Ote
A gloom dragon like creature that has seemingly began to gain power deep within the lands of the unified kobold kingship. This dragon is said to be worshipped by the oath takers of Oteos's Chosen as the original spreader of the disease. Each member seemingly feeding themselves to the creature as their names appear upon the back of the creature in the form of a tombstone, forever remembered. Those of the order protect the old fat dragon that no longer chooses to move, many have noted the small group of mages who serve the creature directly. The dragon seems to offer powers to those of the order in exchange for its continued existance within the lands or so the stories go. However, as the years have gone on, Ote seems to have begun showing signs of divinity with so many worshippers and oath takers.Events/Holidays

Here we shall find how the coins look, what materials they are made of, and what the value of the coins are on the overall market. DIAMOND CROWNS The first coin that replaced the common platinum that the dragons used for its shininess. Giants though, are not dragons, thus the more common material of liquid diamonds would be harvested from the cores of the volcanoes in the heart of the magma as it was believed. This material would be farmed to make coins and other magical items. RUBY VOLCANOS Believed to be equivalent to the gold piece commonly used by the lesser nations including dragons. Thus the Jotun-Modr pioneered the coin in the shape of their homeland to be used by those sworn to them. These simple coins are individually 5cm by 5cm like the other coins, however it is clear and seems to sparkle from its craftsmanship only possible by the Jotun-Modr who individually made each coin. SAPPHIRE HILLS Sapphire hills were thinner coins due to there higher rarity, though most giants valued sapphires less then rubies and only slightly more then emeralds. Thus most recognized this simple hill drawn with sheep grazing into the individual sapphires as a silver coin. EMERALD PLAINS Lastly and most common in the Jotun-Modr volcanos were emeralds. As the material was farmed simply from their individual Rok-heap herds. Thus simple grass would be carved into the coins as apprentices practiced there arts on the coins.Trade Goods
Here you shall find the trade goods this race has on offer in the nations they inhabit.Owlbears
A species that can be found almost anywhere. However, they are rare to find as the owl bears are continously hunted for their magical properties. And many would be animal poachers have found a large amount of wealth in the darker alleys selling owl bear eggs. As few can survive captivity there is currently no known way to farm the beasts.Leviathan
Fish that walked on four legs and shoot lightning out of there mouths. Said to be used by the kobolds to power deep underground facilities within the beholder colonies. These creatures are also noted for being ridden into battle for the capable ranger or druid. However, when they attack they seem to shoot off witch bolts continuously almost similarly to magic missles.Tungsten Items
Tungsten is a greyish-white lustrous metal, which is a solid at room temperature. Tungsten has the highest melting point and lowest vapor pressure of all metals, and at temperatures over 1650°C has the highest tensile strength. It has excellent corrosion/rust resistance and is affected only slightly by most acid spells. Though noted at the time to be rare to find a kobold capable of creating such heat, it is rumored that the leaders of the kobolds in the first age were capable of breathing fire hot enough for a short time to melt and heat tungston. Though the process took multiple powerful kobolds, it is said that a single item would take weeks to craft. But when crafted, one could not ask for a stronger non magical item. Noted for their immunity to all spell effects, but not being able to carry any natural spells. The tungston items are capable of resisting rust breath up to an ancient rust dragon, however they are incapable of being enchanted.Scoff Boar
A large boar that is commonly found being ridden in the world or farmed for meat. The creatures are extremely smart, and seem to live in herds of a hundred or moreLanderkins
A fat looking drake that is commonly grey, black, or brown or a color mix of the three. They are large creatures that are used as beasts of burden. They are commonly bred with dragon turtles and other such large monsters to increase its size and sturdyness. Known to hall the same amount as 4 oxen. The creature is extremely easy to tame as the are food motivated. Though it should be noted as they grow older there horns take on bizarre shapes and will need to be cut off every few years.Tuortas Fruit
A strange animal that grows almost bright green and produces from the center of its body a large fruit. Though the fruit is common of whatever the creature has been eating. Walking on all fours, the creatures are noted as slow, but never full. They can be farmed for their fruit on the creatures back, you can also cook them alive and supposedly the juices from the fruit mixed with the meat of the creature creates a fine dish fit for a king
