The first kobolds were shaped from stone by lonely dragons deep within The Underdark, making them the only creatures made for the subterranean expanses of En. Nowadays, some kobolds live integrated into various Underdark communities, living in their own isolated communities, or are members of a dragon's kingdom. Still, others have made their way to the surface world to explore its reaches.
