Kobolds

Kobolds are a less intelligent cousin of Goblins. They inhabit the lands of Nelwar that are less desirable, and have been left alone by more civilized species. Unlike goblins, kobolds boast no mechanical prowess, and along with their shorter stature, this has left them near the bottom of the food chain of civilized races. As a result, many members of more civilized races view kobolds as little more than animals - the ape to the goblin's human.

Society
Kobolds live in a world of constant battle and strife. Because of their lack of centralized civilization, they are always working hard just to survive. Because of this, they end up fighting a lot among themselves as well as with other groups. This leads them to gravitate towards the strongest beings around them, be those other kobolds, or something stronger. It is not uncommon for a band of kobolds to travel with a larger creature, helping it and feeding on its scraps. Kobolds are particularly known for doing this with Orcs.

Combat
Kobolds rarely have decent quality weapons. They do not typically build the infrastructure required to make metal weapons, unless the creature they are following demands that they mine. Because of this they typically only have the weapons they have from killing others, and some basic wooden or stone weapons. Kobolds fight in large groups, and often run wildly towards the enemy in swarms, with no particular formation.
