I have stood by and watched this debate with great interest, and I now feel the need to express my opinion. I believe that all races of Faerun can live in peace together. My organization, the Iron Throne, has had great success in integrating other so called "evil" races into human society.

There is proof of this, for example, we actually actually managed to integrate hobgoblins with human mercenaries, Tazok was very successful in accomplishing this!

And let's not forget that Mulahey, who is one of our most distinguished...um...SCIENTISTS, YES, THAT'S IT, SCIENTISTS, actually managed to make peace with Kobolds during his expedition into the Nashkell mines. The Kobolds even offered to Mulahey's personal bodyguards! Who would have thought that Kobolds would want to protect a Human?!

I'm with Baggins on this one. Kobolds really should be treated as equals, if not superiors. Let me tell you a story, friends.
On a recent expedition to the Firewine Bridge, I fell and broke my fingers. Obviously this crippled me, and I was unable to move from the spot for days. I lay there, calling for help, but no one came. Then, one day, a lone kobold in a white robe walked past. He looked to me, and placed his scrawny little hand on my finger. "You are healed, my child," he whispered, and vanished before my eyes. I looked down to find my finger repaired, and I could walk again! I now spend my time looking for this mysterious kobold, and in the meantime I will preach equal rights for his kin! No, not equal...
Bow down for the new masters! Kobolds will overpower you all! You may have big swords, but they are small, and their hands can reach places we would rather they wouldn't. Bow down before the kobold!

Due to the collapse of the organizational base for the Iron Throne in Baldur's Gate, all comments made by supporters of this excessively militant faction will be ignore from here on. In plain enlish? Of course I can say it in laymen's terms. The validity of the Iron Throne as a power is currently in question due to it's known plans to overthrow the Duchal authorities. Therefore, all comments made by those loyal to the illicit faction will not be acknowledged.

kobolds aren't really that smart. I mean look at xvarts they can build their own villages, hire out mercenaries (Ursa the bear) and even make peace treaties eg. there are a lot of xvarts in the gnoll stronghold that are friends.

and hey all you have to do is keep your cattle away from them and teach them a few manners and we have another kind of halfling race in our community.

The Iron Throne has not completely collapsed. There are those of us who remain loyal to this great organization. To ignore us is pure folly. Afterall, we were the ones who managed to integrate kobolds with humans, we were the ones who managed to embrace hobgoblins as equals. These, are just but minor examples of what society would be like under Iron Throne rule.

We wanted to make the Sword Coast the envy of Faerun, if it had not been for some minor mercenaries who had nothing better to do with their time, but destroy the future of Baldur's Gate, we wouldn't be having this debate right now.

Every race would have had a prosperus future under our rule. But that vision still lives! The Iron Throne shall rule! The Iron Throne shall return!

Why even now we are in negotiations with the Shadow Thie...I mean with a powerful group in Amn that will help us accomplish this goal!

I am with ITR completely infact they even managed to get gnolls working with the hobgoblins and humans for a while, and we all know gnolls are quite viscous creatures.

Hmmmm.... could me and my xvarts join you at the Iron Throne I mean you even managed to get an xvart working for you, some organizer guy on the top floors. He was quite nice and could talk the common tounge fluently.

And anyway having that other organisation from amn on your team could be quite handy.

Lord Dracon, the Iron Throne welcomes you and your Xvarts with open arms. The individual you speak of is Destus Gurn. He has served us well and has now been appointed General of our soldiers!

The group from Amn shall remain anonymous for...undisclosed legal reasons.

As for the question of Dragons, Dragons are highly intelligent creatures and in a lot of ways more intelligent than humans. I don't see why we could not have come to some comprimise with them.

We may seem power hungry, but I assure our reasons are for good
