Note from Mayor Winfield: The Kobolds are a very interesting group who lives in PaxLair. They have a house and a guildstone with the initials Kbl. Their lore is extensive and still developing. Many people are interested in the group and this tome from the Chief should help people learn more of them. I wish good fortune on the Kobolds.
