Dragonborn History
Dragonborns were one of the first races of humanoids created. Metallics were created by Bahamut and the chromatics were created by Tiamat. The creation myth so goes on to describe a large conflict between the two creator gods that ended in Bahamuts fall and most of the metallics starting to worship Tiamat.
In the early years of the Dragonborn they were a monarchy with theocratic tendencies. When king Pherax came to power he built up the Dragonborn armies and set his sights on the mainland starting the expansionist period.
One of the first major things that happened in the third age was the expansionist period when the dragonborns of Wild-Fire Isle tried to occupy small villages and cities along the coast. this lasted for about 5 years before the mainlanders managed to take back the territory. Dragonborns said they had rights to the land as they were the original humanoid race. they also made the case that their own lands were barren and ashfilled with almost no resources, so they needed to expand. However by the combined forces of Loudwater, Sleetsted and Reun they were forced back.
After the failed expansion the King was severly disliked for wasting resources on an perilous pursuit and was promptly dethroned and replaced by a council of elected officials from nobel background.
the council was successful for many years until Argyn of Godsblood staged a coup and took control. He ruled with an iron fist and managed to create a period of sudden growth as dragonborn families where forced to produce more offspring. children were taken early from their homes and put into shcooling and afterwards teh military academy. but resources were scarce.
Dragonborns were looked down upon on the mainland due to their past actions. This drove the now desperate dragonborns to start a full on assault on the eastern shore, capturing most of Aridell and parts of Reun. This empire was called the Baltican Empire. It lasted a long time, before the Orcish Empire joined the fray and through sheer numbers alone managed to force them back once more. When the Balitcan Empire fell, so did Argyn of Godsblood.
The dragonborn state, now in perill and of unknown identity managed to create a functioning civil council. At the same time, the unstable period ended up creating intelligence agencies fighting for control over the state. The intelligence agencies (Chromatic and metallic order) quickly became the actual government and the civil council is more of an international theater play. Working from the shadows The Orders quickly managed take control over everything within dragonborn society. This created an even more nationalistic, xenophobic and expansionist Wild-Fire Isle.
Now, with the tension at an all time high, the dragonborns, already hated by the entire world, started to plot their next actions. The occupation of the Halfling town of Helften, ended in a horrific and long lasting war that ended with the creation of the Twained Empire (reun and copperstad) and the creation of the first ever Dwarf, Human hybrid, Dalas Duin the first.
After having destroyed 80% of the halfling populous, taken most of their holy scriptures and relics, and leaving them with nothing but pain, the dragonborns sat dormant for years. However, things might take a turn for the worse as a new war hits the horizon.
