Warrior Group – The Kale Gen is divided into several warrior groups, with only the council members of the gen and their staff not belonging to any warrior group. Each warrior group has a primary mission, such as to run the trade caravans, or produce craft goods, or guard the gen. A male kobold generally grows up in, becomes a warrior in, grows old and dies in his warrior group. Female kobolds may or may not stay in the same warrior group once they reach the age of adulthood and are mated.
Warrior Contingent – The Krall Gen maintains three warrior contingents. Every warrior is allowed to own property in the Krall Gen, and the Krall Gen also encourages free trade (though it is taxed). As such, the warrior contingents do not control economics, though the leader of each warrior contingent does get a cut of the taxes. Each warrior contingent is responsible for fielding a number of warriors which is dictated by the lord of the gen.
Whelp – A kobold who has not yet reached the age of adulthood.
Year-group – A peer group of kobolds in their fifteenth year of life. In the Kale Gen, all the male kobolds in the entire gen that are in their fifteenth year are put together into one year-group to pass through the trials of caste.
