new location
a small land locked plain lays between the ocean and the kingdoms of polick and the shining fields in said cities they refer to the plain as the bad lands which is filled with tribes of kobold orc and goblinoids as well as a few other race’s people of other kingdoms venture out into the bad lands to watch or participate in the gladiator fights held in by the tribes
new event: the gnoll invasion
long ago the duegar rose from their caverns and began to gain the trust of the civilization above their heads not long after they were just another face in the crowded markets bustling side streets and beautiful weat fields until one day they all disappeared for weeks not a single duegar to be seen until they rose all at once from their caves but not like before they wore armor and were armed to the teeth however thats not what scared people what scared them were the canine like people sprinting out from behind them after a Great War both the gnolls and duegar were forced back into caverns throughout the world in many cases separating their cultures and leaving them in small underground encampment’s these camps worship a wide verity of demons and devils though in recent years a tribe of duegar have moved into the bad lands and oddly enough their dominating in the tournaments.
new race info
though Most kobold live in a the bad lands and cave systems it’s not uncommon for dens to be granted access to a kingdom to work in manual labor they are treated well by the people and seems as just another working class race though that’s not to say they aren’t all good over generations in civilized life it’s not uncommon for a few bad eggs to hatch resulting in kobold rogues and criminals
