A Den: A Small Folk's Perspective
Gnash! It is... impressive! Truly! The Artificer’s Place is a chaos of whirring things and strange smells. We, the little ones, try to be quiet, you see, but sometimes a gear tumbles or a wire bounces. Our Master sometimes shouts, but usually just waves a hand. It's full of bright fragments! Lots of things we may "borrow" when he is absent, when we are quick enough! He makes grand things, you know. Such radiant stones and humming machines! A very good place for a clever kobold, certainly!
Kobold-Forged Wonders
Deep within the mountainous depths, far beyond the reach of daylight, dwell the kobolds – a crafty folk renowned, somewhat surprisingly, for their exceptional metalworking.

Don't let their diminutive stature and reputation for pranks fool you; these tiny beings engineer items of astonishing resilience, often incorporating unique designs and surprisingly potent mystical properties. While most attempt simple tools and elaborate trinkets, rare individuals achieve truly legendary status, crafting remarkable weapons, complex armor, and other incredible objects that are highly sought after by adventurers and appraisers alike. Rumors abound of a legendary "Grand Forge," said to be powered by volcanic energy and producing items of unparalleled power, but its presence remains shrouded in mystery, protected by layers of traps and the ever-watchful eyes of the kobold clans.
Tiny Smith: A Kobold Craftsman's Chronicle
Deep here within the shadowy tunnels of Mount Grimstone dwells Pipkin, a exceptionally clever Little Artificer known throughout his clan as “The Little Smith”. His creations, though often quirky and prone to small explosions, are generally regarded as ingenious, especially considering he primarily scavenges scrap metal and leftover clockwork parts. It's whispered that Pipkin is currently endeavoring to build a self-propelled miniature golem, fuelled by a complex system of gears, levers and a generous helping of volatile alchemical concoctions - a project that is, predictably, proving both complex and hilariously dangerous.
