| Background | ||
| Kurtulmak is the spite-filled gods of kobolds, and to a lesser extent Urds. He resents his low ranking among the humanoid gods, and seeks the eventual enslavement and destruction of the other humanoid races. However, given the weak and ignoble status of the kobold race, he is biding his time. Kurtulmak has a particular loathing for the gnomish gods, and his priests will kill (or torture) gnomes whenever possible. Kurtulmak holds power over the other demi-powers in the kobold pantheon, although all of them seek to supplant him day. The infighting tends to be fairly minor ,as kobolds are well aware of the need to support each other against their common enemies. Kurtulmak's shamans are expected to be leaders and examples of their god's virtues. As such, they help plan out new construction in their lairs, attacks against their hated enemies, and personally lead ambushes whenever possible. |
