Rat-like humanoids who infest tunnels and mines. They try to stay away from larger, more powerful races, as they are traditionally rather cowardly in the human starter area but have been known to attack on sight in other locations. Kobolds have a rather big obsession for mining and digging, and their religion mostly bases itself on the earth. The spellcasters of their race mostly focuses on Geomancy, and some Kobolds are known to craft Golems from dirt and rocks. As miners, Kobolds often wear candles on their head; they guard these jealously, often shouting “You no take candle!” at intruders.

Of all the things one can mine from the earth, Kobolds seem to like Gold the most. When Thrall, the leader of the Horde, entered a dungeon in Stonetalon Mountains to find the Oracle, he discovered and slew a gang of Kobolds, led by a Kobold “Mastermind”, which shows that some Kobolds actually form gangs and syndicates of their own.
