Kobalos

The kobaloi (sing. kobalos) are a dracoid species dwelling within Thaelis-Y'Aada.
== History ==
Being a dracoid race, the kobaloi are among the oldest sapient creatures to dwell within Thaelis-Y'Aada, and in modern times possess only a fraction of their former might in the world. In the ancient past, these seemingly small and slight dracoids threatened to bury all lands under the tyrannical rule of their kulshedra masters.
=== Early History - The Time Before Time ===
The kobaloi were created by the kulshedra dragons for use as guards and a sapient alarm system to protect their mountain hoards. They inhabited the mountains and volcanoes along the south Vaishun coastline, serving their creators, for centuries after the first of their kind were evolved from reptiles dwelling within the basaltic badlands.
Later, their strength in numbers and rapid rate of reproduction were used to great effect by the kulshedras when they declared war upon the other dragons, and sent their kobaloi armies forth onto other continents. As they took lands previously colonised by the echidnas and troglodytes, they built their own civilisations within the mountains, occupying cavern networks and carving out their own tunnels and subterranean cities.
When the kulshedras were defeated and the Wyrm-War ended, many of the kobalos remained with their masters inside their cavern complexes within all continents. Others whose lords had been slain were left to pursue their own initiative and build their own cultures. This led to the growth of more peaceable societies (relatively speaking, of course) amongst their peoples, as the war-lust and savagery seen in their ancestors no longer served their lifestyles. Within Naenese mountains, the troglodytes would continue to harry their colonies for generations.
