Dragonborn

Born of dragons, as their name proclaims, the dragonborn walk proudly through a world that often greets them with fearful incomprehension. Dragonborn originally hatched from dragon eggs as a unique race, combining the best attributes of dragons and humanoids. Some dragonborn are faithful servants to true dragons, others form the ranks of soldiers in great wars, and still others find themselves adrift, with no clear calling in life. Dragonborn look very much like dragons standing in humanoid form, though they lack wings or a tail. The first dragonborn had scales of vibrant hues matching the colors of their dragon kin, but generations of interbreeding have created a more uniform appearance. Their small, fine scales reflect those of their ancestors and as such, vary in color and sheen-bright red or blue, lustrous black, or gleaming like gold, silver or emerald.

Self-Sufficient Clans

To any dragonborn, the clan is more important than life itself. Dragonborn owe their devotion and respect to their clan above all else, even the gods. Each dragonborn's conduct reflects on the honor of his or her clan, and bringing dishonor to the clan can result in expulsion and exile. Each dragonborn knows his or her station and duties within the clan, and honor demands maintaining the bounds of that position. A dragonborn clan can vary in size, and some clans are formed with races outside of dragonborn. Some dragonborn clans also have the blood of a particular type of dragon running very strong through it. Dragonborn value skill and excellence in all endeavors, and they hate to fail. They are known to be adamant believers in self-improvement. They also often push themselves to extreme efforts to be self-sufficient, though they also recognize that help is sometimes needed in difficult situations. But the best source for such help is first and foremost, the clan.

Dragonborn Names

Dragonborn have personal names given at birth, but they put their clan names first as a mark of honor. A childhood name (or nickname) is often used among clutch mates as a descriptive term or endearment. The name might recall an event or center on a habit, and only those close to a dragonborn may use it.
