Dragonborn

Dragonborn are a race of draconic humanoids most commonly found in Perax. They are believed by Peraxians (and many others) to be descendants of the ancient dragon gods and Peraxian nobles. As such, the dragonborn in Perax are viewed with a sense of awe and respect similar to that of royalty. Outside of Perax dragonborn are viewed with a mixed sentiment. The inhabitants of Indarra do not take too kindly to the dragonborn due to the recent invasion attempt by Perax.

Dragonborn are tall, strong humanoids. Their bodies are covered in metalic scales and come in all the same colors as their dragon ancestors. Dragon born reach maturity at 30 years old and can live to be up to 500.
