The Dragonborn are a proud species of draconic humanoids. They can be found all over the world, but tend to form their own communities instead of integrating with other Peoples. Their cultures are heavily based around the worship of the Founders, and as such, most Dragonborn are very religious. All major organized religions in Argeth are led by Dragonborn. They originated from the Life Spirits that worshipped the Founders as a united concept, not raising any above the others. Because of that, instead of taking on aspects of the respective Founder's element, they took on the shared draconic aspects.

Breath Weapon
You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation. When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
Damage Resistance
You have resistance to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestry.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and Draconic. Draconic is thought to be one of the oldest languages and is often used in the study of magic. The language sounds harsh to most other creatures and includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants.
