I have a question regarding the mites in Stolen Lands. What do mites call themselves? I'm pretty sure something different then the rather derogatory "mite". And what do the kobolds call them? I'm fine with them being derogatory, but not being exactly much taller than the mites, "mites" seems unfitting.

Perhaps the Mites might call themselves the "Mighty Rulers of All We Survey" (or "Mights" for short).
And the kobolds could pick up on this, and call them the "Mights" as in "Mighty Annoying." Except they use ruder words for "Annoying." And for "Mighty."
The kobolds call them 'blue meanies'. The mites call themselves "the People', but since the mites only speak Aklo, it probably sounds like nails on a blackboard crossed with splintering wood. "Scree-erch" or something like that.
I took another approach with my Mites...
King Grabbles and the Mites of the Round Table.
He also had an artifact, the Horn of Mity Might.
They are a silly people, with silly puns. And love for torture.
Still, I went with the idea that in Aklo Mite means "small", and the fact that Mites breed mites is just a coincidence.
