Kobolds & Gold
Gold has been sacred to Kobolds since the beginning of time. A Kobold Elder will consume a mix of raw meat, gold, and pine needles to 'commune' with their creator Goddess 'the Mother'. They are often in conflict with Dwarves and Gnomes who they consider despoilers of the sacred metal.

Communing with the Mother
There is only one secret that a kobold elder will seek from the Mother: that of immortality.
