Torg of the Rings (3e)
 |
This book is largely concerned with Kobolds¸ and from it's pages readers may discover something of their character and a little of their history (a very little). Further details can be found in the selection from the Bright Orange Book of East Bumble that has already been published¸ under the title of Kobolds Ate My Baby! Third Edition. Which was derived from the earlier chapters of the Orange Book¸ penned by King Torg himself¸ the first Kobold to become famous the world over¸ and called by him Kobolds Ate My Baby!¸ since it told of their journeys into East Bumble and returning with many plump babies: an adventure which later involved all Kobolds in the greatest feast of all time. Those events¸ however¸ are not recounted here.
Many¸ however¸ may wish to know more about these unusual people before reading this adventure¸ while some may possess the earlier work. For such people a few words on their more interesting traits are collected here from Kobold-Lore.
Kobolds are an obtrusive and very young people¸ and due to their rabbit-like libido¸ their numbers are ever growing. Fortunately as they've yet to develop the concept of fear or the realization that they are no match for any of the other races¸ their numbers are generally kept in check. Their favorite food is babies; they worship Vor¸ the big red god of Anger; and are lorded over by a King whose appetite is nearly as great as Vor's anger. They are dim-witted and slow to learn: in fact¸ if they couldn't see in the dark they wouldn't have a thing going for them.
