Dragonborn

Basic Information

Anatomy

All Dragonborn have sharp dragon like facial features, a nasty set of teeth fill their mouths, and a long neck. As well all dragonborn have a set of partially retractable claws (think like a cat) upon their fingers and upon their three toes. Most have some kind of horns upon their heads as well as spikes on shoulders, knees and ankle. They all have tails that is used mostly for balance, a few can use it as a weapon. They also have a slight hunch on the upper back whether they have wings or not. Because of the shape their feet most dragons do not wear any footwear. Also any armor and helms must be customized for dragons. In Places like the Bregritopia Empire finding off the rack armor is simple.

Biological Traits

Thanks to there natural air filtration capabilities they are adapted well to living in the toxic airs of the Rocking Sea and Dark Lands regions.

Genetics and Reproduction

The dragonborn will mate and then after a short gestation of about a week, the female will lay a clutch of one to twenty eggs depending on the subspecies. The eggs are then taken to their nest. Each subspecies has its own kind of Nest it uses for the eggs. Generally, only a few of the eggs will survive to reach the state of a hatchling.

Growth Rate & Stages

Young dragonborn grow quickly. They walk hours after hatching, attain the size and development of a 10-year-old human child by age 3, and reach adulthood⁠ by 15. After this rapid development, their aging slows dramatically. They can live to be over 250. But most die before the age of 60 due to combat.  

Additional Information

Social Structure

There was probably no other species that had the compencety for violence like the Dragonborn, however thanks that a majority of the new species being found and assisted in their society.  If the Volognomes had not found the fledgling creatures so early on in their societal development who knows how things could have turned out.

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

In dragonborn society when one weds they take the last name of the male. The lineage of the paternal side is deemed more important than the maternal.

Major Organizations

Beauty Ideals

The things that dragons find the most attractive in others are things like horn shapes and sizes, physical size, teeth and scale quality (as well as colorations).

Gender Ideals

Besides when it comes to mating male and females of the species are treated as equals in all respects except for royalty and name lineage both of which favor the male.

Average Technological Level

Due to their close ties with the Volognomes they have not achieved a level of their own instead relying on the gnomes tech instead.

Common Dress Code

Due to their own natural armor many Dragonborn that choose to wear minamal clothing to show off scales, save money on torn or damaged clothing, as well as keeping themselves slighty cooler in the hot Dungarian suns.

History

When Bawippar the Historian discovered this new race they were living in the upper tunnels of The Cradle labyrinth. They were just learning to make tools and had a very rudimentary language. The gnomes saw the enormous size and ferociousness as something that needed tempering. They took it upon themselves to help the fledgling dragonborn reach their potential. They did this in hopes that it would endear the gnomes to them. Needless to say, it worked, only cities ruled by the Elders Council of Lockgearhave the freedoms and power that the council has over the Bregritopia Empire.
Thanks to this assistance by the time they left the cradle in search of their own path they had developed into an advanced society.

Historical Figures

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Strangely enough Dragonborn are one of the most tolerant of the different species of intelligent creatures of the planet. They even treat Human better than most others even though because of the Siege Of Dishonesty they more than most have reason to dislike them. They also have incredibly deep ties with the rock gnomes.
