Dracabni

The dracabni, also know as dragonfolk, dracova or drakkenchild, are a sentient species of the lands of Lyssaria who share many traits with dragons, but are physically and mentally more adapted to interact with other sentient species as humans, elves or dwarves.

History

When the dragons were created by The Domination (a group of evil gods) to fight for them in the Diomilitia , these firsts dragons were filled with pride and envy and desire to replicate the acts of the deities of Lyssaria, the creation of life. So, using the fires from the Wyrms' Furnace , the dragons used their own flesh to forge a new group of species to be their followers, this would be called the dracabni.
After the Diomilitia, the dracabni were a people in a difficult situation, many of the other people of Lyssaria watched them as monsters for fighting on the side of The Domination, ignoring the fact that many of them deserted and fought against the evil gods. Most of the dracabni then explored the world to find a place where they would not be threatened and could live the peaceful life they desired, but others stayed looking for jobs as mercenaries or simply outcasts.

Biology

The dracabni resemble a combination of human anatomy with draconic traits. Their heads look like dragon heads but much flatter in comparison of their creators. Their body tends to be larger than other races like humans and elves and is covered by a leathery skin that looks almost like scales. This skin can take many different colors depending on the ancestry of the dracabni. They also got tails and claws are present in their hands and feet.
Something that sets apart dracabni from others is their ability to shoot an elemental substance like a dragon would.

Culture

General

The dracabni like to inhabit the coast of the mysterious continent of Sumistia . There, they create fishing villages out of volcanic stone and hardwood. They prefer a peaceful life and attend school at a young age to learn abilities from different careers, along with housekeeping and personal defense.

Family and Society

Dracabnian tribes work together as a family where is the responsibility of everyone to keep the village in a good state and teach young children. Different to their dragon cousins, dracabni couples tend to stay together in a relationship that is viewed more as a contract for the benefits of the alliance, more than a passionate affair.

Religion and Magic

Dracabni tend to keep religion and magic away, reminding them too much of their origins, which they take the shame of. When a dracabni demonstrates skill in magic or the favor of a deity, they understand the dangers that these powers can bring, so they decided to move away from their tribe.
