Kekra's Refuge

Portal 1

  Before the Portals, kobolds were globally looked down and abused by most of the other races. There had always been attempts to organize the smaller clans into larger groups, but nothing seemed to last. The larger races were always one step ahead, or just a bit stronger.   The chaos initially caused by the portals, caused a charismatic Kobold who believed herself to be the reincarnation of a legendary Kobold shaman to act. While the other races and kingdoms were fighting for control, Kekra spread word around her kind. When one of the portals that only lead to an otherwise deserted network of cave tunnels, Kekra laid claim to it. The tunnels led deep underground, around floorless caves and through poisonous subterranean flora that the Kobolds were immune to.   Kekra’s people had found a place to finally flourish.   Today, kobolds in the city of Kekra’s Refuge are trying to rebuild their society. They lack persecution but also lost their nomadic way of life. Travel from the portal to Kekra’s Refuge is about half a day’s ride on giant lizards that are required to traverse the floors, sides, and ceilings of tunnels between the two points.
