"To even talk about good and evil, we need a reference point. In D&D we have
alignment as a strict tool, but simply the notion of good and evil applied at a
racial level implies that there is a universal set of standards being applied
to a whole planet of people. Kobolds are evil, but who says? Do Kobolds think
they are evil? I don't think even evil people think they are evil. They feel
they have to do things based on what they have seen and what has been done to
them. All thinking beings try to do things that they think will benefit them or
help them avoid harm and punishment."
