Dragonborn

Born of dragons, as their name proclaims, the dragonborn walk proudly through a world that greets them with fearful incomprehension.
Dragonborn look very much like dragons standing erect in humanoid form, though they lack wings (though most have tails). Their small, fine scales are colored from the race of dragons that they originate from, whether that be a bright silver, a rusty copper, or a brilliant red. They are tall and strongly built, often standing close to 6½ feet tall and weighing 300 pounds or more. Their hands and feet are strong, talonlike claws with three fingers and a thumb on each hand.

Geographic Origin and Distribution

In Kalin

Dragonborn were once the protectors and servants of the Dragon races throughout the continent. After the Dragon War in the first Age the Tyrant Abberon forced the dragons to abandon the Dragonborn as their servants, which the defeated Dragons complied with.
While Abberon may have had darker plans for the Dragonborn those plans were halted by his assassination.
Following their separation from their masters the Dragonborn were forced to fend for themselves. Many could not stand being disconnected from the Dragons and went on doomed paths such as aimless mercenaries or suicidal berserkers. Those that stayed together began to form into clans, and over the ages these clans found their way back to Draconfall, the region where the Dragons made their last stand. These clans banded together if threatened from the outside but otherwise kept to themselves, and wander the region following good hunting and what their spiritualist religion calls for. The Dragonborn were incorporated into the Federated Union of Eastern Kalin in the Third Age and Draconfall became part of the state of Dracon, with its capital being Norixious. While this has changed Dragonborn life somewhat, for the most part the Clan structure remains intact.
Culturally the Dragonborn are a Shamanistic and somewhat simple people who prefer to stay in their close-knit clans and families. Though individual Dragonborn will go out into the wider world to explore and adventure.

In Efaanu

Not many Dragonborn are found in Efaanu, and if they are they are far travelers from Kalin or Wahar.

In Wahar

It is said the Dragonborn (and dragons in general) originate from this land, and come from an ancient desert empire. Due to this, many Dragonborn wander the lands there. Though details in Kalin and Efaanu are sparse.

In Archin

Not many Dragonborn are found in Efaanu, and if they are they are far travelers from Kalin or Wahar.
