Can agender kobolds form romantic relationships?
See title; basically what I'm asking is if the kobolds have a caste token for having no gender, and orientation tokens for forming bonds with agender kobolds.

The DF wiki only seems to include MALE or FEMALE as possible settings for orientation, though I'm wondering if it's possible to have further castes defined for this.

They can! (Also sorry for missing this, haha)

I thought they couldn't when I first made the mod and sorta accepted that agender kobolds wouldn't find love, but I've had a few agender kobolds show up married! It seems pretty rare, though.

Could be that orientation is ignored during worldgen, so any agender kobold historical figures can enter relationships.

It's definitely possible, but the kobolds do have an increased gayness in worldgen over other civs, so I'm not sure they're entirely ignored. I'm not 100% on that, though! It's definitely a hard thing to test, especially when relationships forming during a fort have either been really rare for me or are just something I haven't been able to notice, haha.

Oh, yeah, I've had a lot of agender kobolds show up to my settlements with partners, actually. I was really pleasantly surprised by that because I really didn't think the game's orientation system would allow that either.
