Chalcron's Kobolds

The informal name for the tribe of kobolds that live on the southern side of Chalcron's Mountains.

They are a tribe of ~100 kobolds, every single one named Kevin. A surprisingly civilized bunch, they appreciate books and the fine arts, only travelling to the surface to acquire new reading materials. They worship "The Mother," a large crystalline dragon who awakens once a year to eat, pass on moral wisdom, and then go back to sleep. It is the kobold's job to gather food for her, a job aided by the Tree of Life, a large crystalline tree deep in the mountains. During the Great Crystal Famine (during the Pyrrhic Age), the Tree of Life was dying, and the kobolds were forced to take food from the local villages to meet the demands - a venture that led them to meeting their hero, Trelvis Bresley and his friends.
