Kobolds

Kobolds, the race everyone loves except for when you don't. For the kind that tries to take even the smallest of gold to appease their dead masters, the dragons. Kobolds, the ones that dig the sewers of the world in hopes the humanoids above don't kill them in an instant. Kobolds, the chaotic little balls of joy that collect large hoards of wealth. Ahh everyone loves them.

Esarius, "The World Archivist"

Kobolds, the small spec on the scale of the world of Aedir. Originally created by Ubo'Tao to serve the Dragons, the Kobolds diligently worked to collect wealth for their master's hoards. However, after the Dragon-Hunters exterminated the Dragons of the realm, the Kobolds were almost wiped out. However, Kobolds, with their extremely short lifespan are surprisingly effective breeders. But, they die, a lot.
Kobolds of the modern day are surprisingly not that endangered, they are often seen as helpers to the Humanoids, in hopes that they don't die. They dig out the sewers for the Humans, as they are expert excavators and are known for digging large caverns filled with traps to confuse humanoids.

Additional Information

Social Structure

Kobolds have a unique social structure in the fact that it's completely and utterly chaotic to a humanoid. The first big factor is that magic is seen as a negative to the Kobolds. Kobolds that are born with magic are labeled as an outcast and are often left to die in the wild. This is because to Kobolds, those that had magic were originally killed by their Dragon masters as they were seen as weak links compared to stronger Kobolds.

Kobolds live mostly in dark environments, like caves, sewer systems and even in mountains. They prefer the shadows so they can hide from more monstrous creatures that pray on them.
