Lord Thuddington

Lord Thuddington is the current leader of the Kethand Warriors. He is easily recognized by his height (3 feet, 5 inches, which is tall for a kobold) and bulky frame. Like all members of the Kethand Warriors, he dresses in a simple vest and carries a large decorated spear.

His spear is named Baby-Snatcher. During his rite of passage he stumbled along a den of bears and killed two cubs. Thuddington was unable to defeat the mother bear, but still managed to bring back the cub carcasses to the tribe. It was an impressive first kill that earned him a long scar on his left shoulder and two rubies for his spear. There are now more than 30 gemstones on Baby-Snatcher.

Biography
From birth Lord Thuddington was bigger and more aggressive than other kobolds. He always used this to his advantage, intimidating those smaller than him to do his communal tasks. After the success of his rite of passage, Thuddington was promoted to the tribal watch. Serving on the watch, Lord Thuddington honed his combat abilities. Drow and druegar alike were impaled on his spear. Inbetween combat however he was restless and not well suited to the long bouts of waiting required by the job.

When the chieftain of the Kethand Warriors was past his prime, one of Thuddington's hatchmates challenged him for the right to rule. During the duel, Thuddington stepped in and slaughtered both his hatchmate and the aging leader. It was determined that his strength and ruthlessness made Lord Thuddington an ideal chief.

Treaty with Vagueland
Several years ago, when Vagueland started expanding with shipping companies, lumber became a very lucrative commodity. This lead to some businesses trying to set up mills in the woods that are home to the Kethand Warriors. After numerous lumberjacks were slaughtered by the kobold warriors, the Council of Elders decided it was in the best interests of the city to make a treaty with the tribe. Thuddington met with some members of the Council and decided to tack on the title of Lord to his name as a sign of power.
