i should rewrite my kobold creation story some day
the avatar of the god of flight and majesty's avatar was a dragon - the first - but was beset and nearly killed by wyverns immediately after being born.
the god took what remaining power they had over the dragons flesh and, separating it from the dragon's immortal body, forged the flesh of kobolds, imbued with the favor of healing from the god to cure the god's mighty avatar
because of their inclination to hospitality, the kobolds of my world are innately attuned with healing in both manner and skill, by cultural traditions from the first of their kin
