Ibok the Liberator (World of Zid)

Ibok Arwa the Liberator (created by The Flame Dawn on NS) was a Skitter type (ratfolk) Kobold remembered as father of the Kobold Confederacy. Ibok spent most of his time attempting to arouse his fellow Kobolds to shake off the dominion of their powerful masters, and a lesser part trying to dispel their weak image such as his attempts to become a Knight of the Horn. As an adventurer the latter was easier then the former as his most challenging aim was convincing his own kind to take part in his spreading revolution. He would travel from town to town spreading his message and in each find opposition from his own people much to his pain. His quest for his people began before he started traveling when an Orcish warlord demanded his native town's loyalty. Much to young Ibok's shock and indeed the shock of his fellows the Town's Elders refused. Thanks to blackpowder, numbers, and trapmaking when the Orcs raided the town for it's defiance they where defeated and this left Ibok with his drive to spread what he learned from that experience- that Kobold's don't need to be subservient to some powerful master- to other settlements. He would when a settlement was ready to accept that message establish correspondence between the town and his own- through which the Kobold Confederacy would form. Ibok Arwa would die of old age shortly after the Dwarven War of Kobold Extermination began, and before the war's end as a presiding figure over the Confederate Council as he was invited to be. In his short life he accomplished more then a Kobold is known to and has inspired generations to come.
==Notes==
*Ibok is a player character turned historical figure and legend in the World of Zid.
*Ibok was not the originator of the ideas, as evident by his past, but his travels saw the vision realized. Without one like himself to spread the idea the confederacy may never have formed or taken several centuries more to do so.
*Ibok is thus far the only character mentioned to have a musket (specifically matchlock), and blackpowder grenades excluding the nonplayer characters (the militia) of his hometown.
