Kobolds

There are several tribes of kobolds on the Island. The best-known are the small ones who inhabit an abandoned mine near the road south of the Crossroads. They are neither very strong nor well-organized, but they are aggressive and numerous, and travellers are warned to be careful when going south. Another tribe of fish-eating kobolds can be found far to the north and are stronger and more intelligent than their southern cousins, perhaps due to their diet. They are said to worship an old book which they believe has magical power.
