Dragonborn
Dragonborn are found in Cryingrock, Highspire, and the south of Fostian. Their unifying features are sharp teeth, sharp claws, and a thick hide covered in scales - though the scale colour varies by region. Each of the ten colours of dragonborn are said to have been descended from each of then ten known colours of dragon: white, blue, green, red, black, silver, gold, bronze, brass, and copper. Nobody knows if the dragonborn are descended from dragons or were created by them for some purpose.
Dragonborn (Cryingrock)
Nobody is quite as self-sufficient as the dragonborn of Cryingrock. Their ports are treacherous, and even once your ship is docked you won't find a warm welcome - especially if it's trade you want.

Many dragonborn from Cryingrock have piercing blue eyes - regardless of their scale colour. They also are more likely to be born with tails or wings than other dragonborn - some believe this makes them closer to true dragons than other dragonborn.
Dragonborn (Spirean)
The Spireans have a complex nobility and monarchy consisting of intermingling gold, red, and brass dragonborn. The majority of city populations is made of these dragonborn, with most other races having a low tolerance for the vast amount of social decorum required in Spirean society.

Diplomacy runs deep in the blood of The Spireans. Much of the calendar of the nobles here is devoted to careful negotiations with the dragonborn about borders, and so this tends to trickle down to most levels of society. People who visit Westkeep in Highspire joke that getting a drink in an inn is such a careful deal to be made that most sailors die of thirst upon entering the city.

Dragonborn from the Highspire Peaks stand taller than most other dragonborn. They are seldom seen outside of their homes, only taking to the seas for extraordinary reasons.
Dragonborn (Fostian)
The dragonborn of Fostian are so accustomed to war that it has become a part of them. What began (in their eyes) as an effort to spread peace has devolved into a nation of war-weary veterans and soldiers.

Fostian dragonborn are notable amongst other dragonborn for their white and silver scales and propensity towards large horns. It isn't unusual to see scars amongst them - relics of the on-going war with the thanoi.
