Vyrra’s Nest is a young, above-ground hamlet being established by the Scorchtail kobold clan beside a swamp.

			The neighboring swamp shapes the hamlet’s economy, defenses, and daily routines. The Scorchtails use its plants, water, and other resources while learning where it is safe to build and travel. Flooding, insects, dangerous wildlife, and unfamiliar terrain make the settlement’s growth difficult, but the wetland also forms a natural barrier around one side of the hamlet.
