Thor turned to bronze and origin of kobolds
so after seeing Thor turned to bronze i got immediately reminded about the old creation myth of the kobolds in the unforgotten realms show. so i wonder now exactly how they got created in Urealms? We know of sandbolds and they where created in a completely different way, so what is the kobolds real creation story in Urealm and is Thor still a bronze statue?

Now, the Sandbolds say that they were created by Phanto to study time magic, but you also have to remember that Kobolds are notorious liars in URealms lore; my understanding was that the 4 'last' Sandbolds were lying about being Phanto's children because that's just what Kobolds do. Until we get concrete evidence of anything beyond them studying time magic and being killed by Maelstrom, just assume they're lying about their origins (and who knows if they were actually Eusocial or not, those 4 Sandbolds might not want to have kids of their own).
@LexderMob Yes, pretty much. Just wait for the official lore to come out before jumping to any conclusion.
I'm going to say that Kobolds weren't sentient until after The Lightbeards Campain. Going off our homework and Robs tendency to build off his past works I'm going to build a bit of a narrative to explain this.
Thor was the celebrated God of the Dwarves until they learned the truths that he hid from them. After the Elves broke Thor's facade, the Dwarves gradually lost respect for him. When the Elves started celebrating a dwarf that he created with more fanfare and respect than they ever showed him it was the last straw and he broke. This is what Led him to attack Bruce. He was then petrified in bronze by Verandra and formed a new grudge on the Dwarves. He then sought out someway to escape his bronze prison. He observed how the kobolds, creatures that have been in the Realm since before the Sun Dragon Gods even appeared in the sky {I think that is right.}, ate stone and other minerals. He crafted a plan that would satisfy both of his needs, a way to escape and get back at those turn-coat dwarves. With his Creation Magic, he gave the Kobolds sentience, those that were left out would eventually become known as Groundbolds. He then convinced them to chew him out of his prison, this did not go nearly as fast as he thought it would, with only his head being free in the modern day. He also convinced them that Dwarves were their mortal enemy. And so time moved on, and this is the reason for the dicey relations between Kobolds and Dwarves to this day.
