Kobold Societal Structure

Clans
Kobold society is grouped mainly by Independent Clans, each led by a chieftan. These sometimes go by other names depending on the whims of the chieftan, and are independent of one another - while they may trade or have limited contact, and rarely coordinate on anything, they tend to stay to themselves and not interact much.

Packs
Clans are made up of multiple packs, led by pack leaders with the title “Kol” - the dwellings they inhabit whether they be huts or caves or whatever are referred to as dens - and are basically the town/village/hamlet of kobold society. Generally each den will have a hatchery where it keeps its eggs to perpetuate and grow the pack. (because that’s how eggs work, Blaine). These packs will hunt for food, trade with humanoids on rare occasions and raid humanoids for supplies when necessary. They typically trade within the clan, and band together when necessary.

You know of several Kobold clans in this area:
Greenshield Clan - is a clan that you’ve heard inhabits the forests on the other side of the Cobalt River.

Gobi Clan - a clan that inhabits the hills surrounding the fangs - a pair of mountainous peaks to the west.

Brave Fang Clan - a clan that inhabits the forests and hills at the western foot of the Mountain.

Stone Horn Clan - Our party is a part of the stone horn clan which inhabits the hills and forests between Elk Run to the SW and Rock Creek to the north.
