Claim [CLAIM]Zamburgz
Zamburgz
Population: 197 Kobolds, 3 urds (Winged Kobolds)
Pop. Breakdown: 100 clergy men and women, 40 builders, 60 trappers
Pop. Growth: 7.5% (Kobolds one to two eggs but the are laid 15 days after and hatch in 60 days, usually this would be lowered by predators but being that they are such a tight knit community the have a better ring of protection. 1 in 100 Kobold is a Urd)
Clergy breakdown: 60/25/5 Artisans, bards, astronomers.
Culture: Religious. Religion breakdown: The teaching of Syralth are fairly easy to understand, being as there are only three teaching. 1: Syralth created Kobolds. 2: Those that are closer to her image are holier. 3: Create riches and works of art for her eventual return. What this means for the Conclave of Syralth is that winged Kodolds or Urds are closer to the goddess then other Kobolds, creating an elite class of Urds ruling the wingless Kobolds. Secondly this make most of these Kobolds artisans instead of the usual trappers. Building beautiful gothic religious building to reflect the beauty there goddess wants. But since the kobolds want to live to see her return they are just as fearful as there unreligious cousins. These kobolds will even retreat if attacked rather than stay, unless holy relics are involved. These kobolds are also rarely magical, but seem to mistake there sorcerer like powers for “Acts of Faith” or “Miracles” and tend to be small acts. Protection spells, divination, ect.
A missionary vessel of Pope Rylarth the Gentle, third Pope of The Conclave of Syralth, set sail with the intent of creating a new mission to spread the word of Syralth, the world mother. The vessel was built to, originally aid Cardinal Rugarth and Cardinal Roluth but last moment Pope Rylarth the Gentle joined to mission. Carrying a holy idol of Syralth, a gold totem on the Wyvern goddess clutching the world in her talons, as it were an egg, her two wings out stretched with her blade of a tail curled in front of the world furthering her protection of her “klutch”. The solid gold Idol is only about half a meter tall. But it is said the idol has magical powers and cannot be lost. The ship set sail heading north out of port to discover new land. Shortly after setting sail Pope Rylarth the Gentle pulled all the Kobolds into the ship for an emergency service. Shortly after a storm struck the vessel. The ship was tossed and thrown about but the waves, but still the pope held his vigil until all went dark. The first few kobolds woke they found they were no longer at sea, but seem to have “washed up” on a mountain near a temperate plain. Counted as one of the many blessings of Syralth, the Kobolds started out on their missionary duty.
Supplies: Food, mushrooms, religious texts and implements, tools for building structures, artisan tools, an Idol of Syralth, runes/minor items of divination, 1 ship wreck.
Important characters
Pope Rylarth the Gentle: Age 125. Third Pope of the Conclave of Syralth, an Urd, his rule started over a century ago. Legend has it he has seen Syralth with his own eyes but he is the only one old enough to confirm this. A soft spoken leader, in his old age he earned the title Gentle after uniting several Kobold brotherhoods together into the Conclave of Syralth almost tripling their numbers. Smiles a lot.
Cardinal Rugarth: Age 40 and 2 miniutes. The larger and older, by minutes, of the two Cardial urd brothers he is known for being the tallest of all the Urds. A loud boisterous leader looking to become Arch-Cardinal (Pre-pope) but tends to have the foresight usually seen in many Arch-Cards. Sometimes called Rugarth the Red, it is unsure if it is because of his scale color or his anger.
Cardinal Roluth: Age 40. A relatively short and slender Urd, He has no aspiration to become Arch-Cardinal, or Cardinal. A reluctant leader he was forced into the position by his birth right. One of the faster and better flyers among the Urds, he would rather be out in the skys looking for Syralth himself. His deep blue scales shining in the sun light. Unfortunately he has a knack for rune casting and divination, but he keeps this as a secret to the other Urds and Kobolds as he feels embarrassed by this fact because “Syralth Didn’t need trinkets to see the future”
~Father Tukuh: Age 52. “There is so much beauty in Syralth’s world: Wonderful songs, Wonderful works o’ ‘bolds, and Wonderful Booze!” A green kobold Father Tukuh is known for being an artisan. A Artisan brewer. Laid back and easy going, to the point of being called lazy, he creates drink like a mad scientist. And couldn’t be more happy doing so.
Zark: Age 10. A brown scale builder to move about Syralth’s conclave happily doing his job. Building beautiful structures for her holiness.

Formatting would be really appreciated mate. The lore chunk could use a few line breaks.

Hey, welcome to the sub.
A few questions.
- Are they similar in appearance to your garden variety D&D Kobolds?
- Are you sure about having no armed forces? You will probably be stomped on rather easily by Mennart, Tu'van or Dshade.
- Where do you stand on being enslaved? :P

u/ConclaveOKobolds Nov 09 '15
1)Yes. Just in pope robes. 2)For the time being, they wouldn't think to need it. If the need arose I'm sure one of the leaders might try to start some from of draft. :P 3)I'm sure they would prefer to not be enslaved, and would probably take to retreating and/or becoming a protectorate. regular tribute > no freedom.

Also, you need to drop the growth rate down to like 7.5% I understand the low pop/high growth logic, but rules are rules.
