<a href=#ekkel>ekkel</a>, north of the ruins of avaro’s dungeon. around

next to the green on the south border of marikest.

until arriving in marikest, the concept of a surname was totally unknown to
|
|
|
|
|
|
the kobolds, so they all invented names based on plants for themselves once
|
2024-12-28 22:16:07 +01:00
|
|
|
|
they became needed. in the city they’ve been under the mentorship of a
|
|
|
|
|
|
halfling named <dfn>bobbie fairchild</dfn>.

|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
the purpose of the kobolds’ arrival in marikest is to study outside
|
|
|
|
|
|
cultures, in the hope of easing the ancient distrust between kobolds and
|
|
|
|
|
|
surface dwellers. unravelling the common perception of kobolds as stupid
|
|
|
|
|
|
and/or evil is hard work, so progress is slow. but the recent political
|
|
|
|
|
|
situation has been <em>very</em> interesting to study as a group of
|
|
|
|
|
|
outsiders.

velzek’s old home, <dfn>ekkel</dfn>, consists of a network of caves within
|
|
|
|
|
|
the windswept wall. despite the historical friction between kobolds and
|
|
|
|
|
|
humanoids, ekkel has enjoyed peace for decades, due to its location far away
|
|
|
|
|
|
from any major surface roads. like all burrows, ekkel is considered to be a
|
2024-12-28 22:16:07 +01:00
|
|
|
|
single huge family; kobolds don’t consciously keep track of closer kinship
|
2024-12-22 04:27:37 +01:00
|
|
|
|
bonds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
the centre of ekkel is a large cavern; individual living spaces radiate
|
|
|
|
|
|
out in a dense network of narrow tunnels. the central space is dominated
|
|
|
|
|
|
by a huge temple to suveesha, which serves as a communal kitchen and
|
|
|
|
|
|
dining room, as well as a school. outside of her studies into humanoid
|
|
|
|
|
|
cultures, velzek’s duties at the temple included teaching young kobolds to
|
|
|
|
|
|
read and write, and—like all priests to suveesha—helping in the kitchen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
ekkel is far from isolated. several of the outer tunnels dip into the
|
|
|
|
|
|
underdark, and through there, are connected to other kobold burrows. in
|
|
|
|
|
|
fact, due to its safe location, it has been steadily growing in recent
|
|
|
|
|
|
decades as more precarious communities decide to migrate there. however,
|
|
|
|
|
|
its current population is still only around six thousand.

the goddess known to humanoids as berei, concerned with home and family,
|
|
|
|
|
|
is commonly revered among kobolds in consecuar in a form known as
|
|
|
|
|
|
<dfn>suveesha</dfn>. she is represented in this form as a four-horned
|
|
|
|
|
|
kobold holding a golden flame; temples to suveesha generally have a
|
|
|
|
|
|
pair of huge braziers outside the entrance, providing warmth to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
community.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
it is claimed by some senior members of the clergy that ekkel is
|
|
|
|
|
|
particularly blessed by suveesha, and insulated from the troubles of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
outside world. maybe it is. or maybe it’s just that, from the perspective of
|
|
|
|
|
|
the surface world, it’s in the middle of nowhere.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
while amongst the humanoids, velzek and the others have been instructed to
|
2024-12-28 22:16:07 +01:00
|
|
|
|
adopt berei’s more familiar symbols: a bundle of wheat, a sickle, and a
|
2024-12-22 04:27:37 +01:00
|
|
|
|
rising sun.
