 “Arjun, bring me the tongs, please” the blue-robed mage had just finished pouring the potion into one of his glass cylinders, and he needed to move it. Arjun, a tan-skinned reptilian kobold, had been his assistant and student for about a year now. As a kobold, Arjun stood about one and a fifth meters tall, with a pair of horns growing from a lizard-like head. His snout was full of sharp fangs, and while he stood on the ground much as a human did, he balanced himself out with a small, ropey tail. His hands and feet were clawed, each with three fingers or toes, plus a thumb on each hand and a spur on each foot. Looking through th

Of all the dracon armies, few are as purposefully confusing as that of the Kingdom of Hekaga. Although the kingdom has many enemies abroad, the greatest fear its rulers have by far is internal usurpation. While the ruler possesses a fine bodyguard and intelligent service in the form of the Prince's Claws, this service alone is insufficient to protect against a hostile takeover in the event of a coup, save as protection against an assassination attempt by a lone agent or a few would-be killers, or as an absolute last resort against a larger-scale takeover. In the latter event, the Claws would likely be able to put up resistance as part of a de

 Most scholars recognize three basic goblin species: goblins, bugbears, and hobgoblins. The first of these are the weakest and most common, while the second are strongest as well as fewest. Hobgoblins are in the middle, neither the mightiest or most numerous, but easily the most powerful of the three. This strength comes in part from their superior intelligence, discipline, war making skills, but their greatest assets are their versatility and adaptability. While many other races are only capable of a single mode of living, hobgoblin societies readily change their societies to the demands of the time. Hobgoblins are typically orange-skinned

Each of the Schools of Magic refer to a different way magic is used. While other materials may have gone over the magics separately, this guide gives a brief explanation of them all in one place. Keep in mind that each school of magic classifies  how  magic is used, not what  type  of magic is used. For example, One can use fire magic to create a fireball (evocation), or the imbue a weapon with the ability to burst into flame (enchantment), and both schools would make use of the same underlying fire magic. Elemental magic can fall into any of these categories, but most elemental spells tend to be evocation, abjuration, or conjuration spells.

Deidre stood next to the mansion, located on the mountain she called home. Wearing her brown vest and matching shorts, the female kobold stared out at the thin sliver of land she called home. The view was fantastic, and she enjoyed it even as it caused her much grief. The whole would was spread in front of her to see, and yet she couldn’t visit any of it, apart from the port located near its base. Her master would never allow it. On occasion, she considered leaping off the cliffs in the hopes that her magic would somehow save her from the rocks below, but some days were so bad she felt the rocks would be preferable to yet another day in
