Nyza's Scrapbook

Although she does not often show it to others, Nyza the Kobold sorceress keeps a journal / artbook. Below are some of its entries, all written in Draconic.

Terminology (updated as the need arises)

Softskin - "Creatures with skin, not scales: most mammals." Nyza uses this phrase a lot. In Almebezbik, the word carries a mildly insulting connotation toward non-reptiles. It implies that they are inferior because they do not have a natural layer of scaly armor. Because this attitude is so prevalent among kobolds, the word is generally not even considered disrespectful to use.

Feud - "A long, bitter quarrel." In Almebezbik, a feud is usually considered a bad thing. Protracted fights among two families can lead to the destruction of them both. Among kobolds, the equivalent Draconic word is actually very positive. Kobolds hold long grudges when they feel they have been wronged. The longer a kobold vows revenge, the stronger his resolve and strength of character. The most prominent example of this is an ancient legend involving Garl Glittergold, the god of gnomes, and Kurtulmak, god of kobolds.
