Lombard Scalespeaker
 
 * Gnome cleric of the Draconic pantheon

Lombard is one of a very rare breed, a humanoid who practices as a cleric of the draconic pantheon. Despite the inherent nastiness and of his idols, Lombard himself actually comes across as quite an affable fellow, taking a very pragmatic and simple minded approach to the situation the mammalian races find themselves in (“Well yes, it’s a shame that the dragons are aggressive, but that’s how the gods want them to act. They used to be a whole lot worse, we have The Covenant now so that’s really good, and it’s usually only people who deserve it who get sacrificed anyway, and if we didn’t have dragons around watching over us we’d probably just be fighting amongst ourselves anyway. Would you like more tea?”).

For the minority of Venac’s humanoids that hold un-coerced reverence for the draconic gods Lombard is a relatable and well liked figure, and thus the kobolds often employ him in interactions with the populace that don’t require too great a degree of delicacy or intimidation. For everyone else he is simply a curiosity or an object of mockery (when he isn’t around at least). His divine powers are quite limited, despite having been a cleric for many decades, and it’s suspected that the lack of a threat he presents is one of his most liked features by the kobolds.
