Scenic Rot Fang village was built on the ruins of an old Dwarf outpost overlooking a chasm. There's almost two hundred Kobolds families packed in this small area, living in relative safety, though many of them are poor. Scattered among the tents and shacks, the crumbling stones of the Dwaven buildings still stand to house the most wealthy of merchants and warriors.
1.Dwar'eet'iks den-A crumbling former Dwarf bar, the chief tends to hang out here with the rest of his most loyal warriors and a few village concubines. Off limits to most everyone else. It's a stone building, with two floors-Dwar''eet'ik keeps the entire top floor to himself, and the bottom has tables, chairs, and a single working beer tap.
2.The Ring-Dwar'eet'iks new fighting pit, made out of whats left of the bars cistern. The only way out is with a rope-the walls are impossible to climb without tools. If the hunters catch anything nasty enough, they throw it down here, and if the cheif catches anyone who disrespects him, they go down too. He's had several executions this year, most of them to a fungus squid which only just recently got sick and died after eating a concubine that gave it stomach cramps. Tak'mir doesn't know what's in it now.
3.The Last Drop-Owned the limping fighter Zzas, and located on the edge of the village, overlooking a massive chasm, this place is Tak'mirs favorite hang out spot. In fact, most every Kobold found this place after the chief kicked everyone out of the Den. It serves good food and cold drinks-courtesy of a local Kobold Cryomancer-and has a nice atmosphere. He has a crush on the waitress there...not that she knows that.
4.The High Mark-Spotted in center square, this is Gork'chuks shop, and no one sells so much as a hatpin around here without him noticing. Tak'mir can sell things here, usually for higher prices if it's rare or valuable. Arak claims he doesn't mind if Tak'mir is selling to Gork'chuk.
5.The Deposit-Right next door to the High Mark, this open air market is where Tak'mir can buy all sorts of good food, cheap too, even if prices have begun to skyrocket due to Dwar'eet'iks bi-weekly binges taking up all the stocks.
6.House of Bashing, Beheading and Bisecting-Tak'mir doesn't go here often, as it's the towns biggest smithy, and he usually prefer to buy his weapons from fences or the guild. Still, there's alot of shiny stuff here...as if he'll ever be able to afford it. Roz'rim the Smith is the owner, and won't buy from him directly, unless he finds something *really* good-he has to go through a fence for that.
7.Greenhide Armorers-Same as above, the armor sold here is of the best quality his tribe can buy, but most of is way out of his price range. They won't buy anything from him but animal parts and skin-which they pay top coin for, the rarer the better.
8.The Low Row-Tucked away in the poor district that Tak'mir lives in, the Low Row is a shop that Arak'rak'tar, Tak'mirs friend, founded in direct competition to Gork'chuks. Tak'mir can also sell things here, but Arak doesn't have the money to throw around on trinkets, preferring to deal in necessities like food, medicine, and simple goods, which he sells back to needy kobold families at lower prices-he's highly respected among the tribe for this.
Gork'chuk has strongly hinted that he won't look too kindly on anyone who sells to Arak'rak'tar, especially including Tak'mir.
9.Thief Guild-A hidden place known only to the cities thieves, not even the chief knows about it. Tak'mir can always find work here, as well as relaxation and training in the shadowy arts, not to mention special equipment.

10.Ring of Stone-Most of the warriors of the Tribe hang out here, practicing with weapons and staying alert. Most of more honorable fighters of the clan are here, those who arn't interested in hanging out in the Den-Kobold weapon instructors are keen to teach anyone who shows promise some basic self defense moves for a bit of coin. Tak'mir enjoys a nice rumble now and again to keep his senses sharp.
11.Tricksy Master-A shop run by a Dwarf of all things! He's been deemed insane by the kobolds, but they tolerate him because he can decipher languages and identitfy strange artifacts. He sells all sorts of junk he claims is "magical", and some of it sure is...just not good magic.
