"In Uriask, kobolds are known for having an instinctive fear of the sky, they much rather live in their safe havens under mountains, inhabiting endless mazes of tunnels, and it's quite common for a kobold to never see the light of day during their entire life. Breach, however, learned quick that his life in the Wildlands depended on how useful he could prove himself, life there isn't a gift handed to you, it must be earned, and cowering under caves and the shades of trees would only get him killed.
Instead of fearing the immense winged predators that inhabit the blue expanse, he took inspiration from them. He wouldn't have his wings bound by anyone."
