Kobold {Erethes}
Kobolds are a version of Dragonborn evolved for dark environments, A side effect of living in the Underdark for so long. However, They've been down there so long, that they have only a small amount of their dragon ancestry, only being born with a semi-red dragon ancestry. Over the years, Kobolds have spread out across the surface. As a result most kobolds, Especially the surface ones, Appear as small, Almost goblin-esque, Red dragonborn. While ones that have been in the Underdark for longer periods of time, Are very noticeable, Considering they look almost completely different.
One of the first races to start living in the Underdark, They are one out of three races in the Underdark that are a part of a council of sorts, Aiding in making decisions for the entirety of the Underdarks people. While Primitive, They are actually one of the smartest races in Erethes, At least for the level of technology they normally use.
