Mudburrow is a small hidden village near the southwest coast of the continent of Osugbo that is populated almost entirely by Kobolds. Formerly the town of Woodhurst, the town was destroyed by both a dragon and a natural disaster in 797 PR and has been taken over entirely by Kobolds.
About
Nestled within a shallow fissure by the coast of south-west Osugbo, Mudburrow is a village built into the dirt and earth of the fissure. Once, it was the respectable lumber town of Woodhurst, supplying timbers to neighboring towns and cities. That all changed during the early years of the War of Many Names, when a dragon’s attack split the land beneath it, swallowing much of the village into an earthy fissure. The survivors fled, and what was left became a haven for the dragon’s small, scaly admirers: kobolds.
The kobolds called it Mudtown at first, because they tracked the mud everywhere, because they liked the sound (and taste) of it, and because they couldn’t figure out a better name. Also only like three of them could read and spell. Over the decades, however, the village grew into something more established. Today, under the “leadership” of its ever-changing roster of kobold chieftains, the settlement is known as Mudburrow.
The original stone foundations of Woodhurst still poke through, but most buildings are ramshackle towers of timber, clay, and refuse stacked at odd angles and made for the kobolds to inhabit. Entire streets weave and collapse in on themselves, with ladders, rope bridges, and tunnels connecting houses in ways no sensible builder would ever approve of. Along with the streets above, the Kobolds dug burrows beneath the streets, so parts of the town are literally hollow, like a warren. The fissure that destroyed Woodhurst still splits the town in two. Kobolds have strung together “bridges” made of planks, doors, or even giant bones scavenged from nearby battlefields.
