Red Dragon ScionsMany centuries ago, the great dragon Nimrith the Red awoke in Khugdihr. After defeating its defenders and laying the hold to waste, we arrived in his wake. Our tough scales may be dark, adapted as we are to our underground home, but shine a light on them and the crimson hues that arise betray our noble heritage. Nimrith may be long dead and gone, but we are not so easily wiped out.

Treasure HuntersNimrith the Red was a busy dragon. While he was off laying cities in ash, he barely had time to amass the hoard a great dragon like him deserved. Therefore, us Darkscales decided to do it for him. If a great hoard was waiting for him back in Khugdihr, he would surely return to us to give us guidance. When he did return, however, the outsiders followed him. When he was killed in front of us, we could do nothing but flee. While it is a bitter memory, this time of great hoarding made Darkscale Kobolds excellent treasure hunters, procuring the finest gems and metals from under the noses of orc, goblin and dwarf.
+50% Looting Speed
The ScatteringNimrith is dead. The Darkscales have been pushed to the fringes of the Serpentspine. Be it by human, dwarf, or orc, our ancestors have been killed or driven out by all outsiders. We will never forget this. Every kobold carries a coin from Nimrith's hoard in their pouch, and vengeance in their heart.
-0.03 Monthly War Exhaustion
Stronger TogetherDarkscales are naturally suspicious of outsiders. But we are few in number, and if we are to achieve our great goals we may be forced to look beyond our own kind. The no-scales known as goblins are much like us. They fight the same foes, have long lived in the fringes like us, and in their size are often overlooked by the brutish races like us. If we are to cooperate with anyone, it should be with them.

Mushroom MeatWhen our ancestors emerged from the depths, they did not know how to live in the caves of the Serpentspine. At first glance, it is a darkness devoid of life apart from all the other creatures that live in it. So at first, our ancestors would subsist on meat alone. But we have progressed much since then. Mushrooms and more do grow here, and under carefully prepared circumstances they can provide impressive yields on par with our former meat diets. Plus, it is a lot easier and less stressful if your prospective dinner cannot eat you instead.
+10% Production Efficiency
Ceiling CampsThe caverns of the Serpentspine are a dangerous place. Or at least, the cave floors are. Minotaurs, ettins, orcs and worse follow our scent and hunt us, but they cannot find us. If only they looked up! Between the thick stalactites of the caverns, kobolds look down at them and snicker. Our towns and camps are cleverly built into the cave ceilings, safe from the monsters lumbering below us.

Our Grand EffortsThere were Darkscales who thought they had more important things to do than serve Nimrith. They have gone their own way and scattered through the Serpentspine. All the better. So long as those who remain believe in our grand efforts, we will ever be united. Every Darkscale who remains in the clan is willing to risk their scales for whatever needs to be done.
