Dragonborn
The Dragonborn, descendants of the mighty dragons, are an awe-inspiring sight to behold in the world of Trorune; like their draconic ancestors they are divided into notable, distinct ancestral lines: the Chromatic, the Metallic, and the Gem, each distinguished by unique characteristics and qualities.
The Chromatic Dragonborn boast a lineage connected to the powerful and often fearsome Chromatic Dragons. Bearing scales in hues of black, blue, green, red, or white, they exude an air of raw power and unyielding strength. Often driven by strong emotions, they possess a formidable presence that demands respect and commands attention. Each color lineage imparts its unique traits and an elemental affiity, such as the black's affinity for acid and subterfuge, the blue's affinity for lightning and storms, the green's mastery over poison and nature, the red's fiery breath, or the white's tenacity and tolerance to the cold.
In contrast, the Metallic Dragonborn are kin to the noble and majestic Metallic Dragons, shimmering in hues of brass, bronze, copper, gold, or silver. Radiating a sense of regality and wisdom, they embody virtues such as valor, benevolence, and justice. Their scales glint like precious metals, and they are often adorned with intricate designs and patterns that showcase their heritage. Just as their Chromatic counterparts, each metallic lineage brings forth unique abilities, with the brass and gold endowed with fire-breathing prowess, the bronze with the ability to manipulate electricity, the copper able to spew caustic bile, and the silver with its freezing cold breath.
Lastly, the Gem Dragonborn trace their ancestry to the rare and enigmatic Gem Dragons, displaying an array of vibrant colors and radiant personalities. Unlike their Chromatic and Metallic kin, the Gem Dragonborn are less concerned with the division of good and evil, embracing a more neutral outlook on life. Their scales shimmer like precious gemstones, and their magical abilities reflect their respective colors. The Amethyst Dragonborn possess psychic talents, the Crystal Dragonborn master illusions, the Emerald Dragonborn command nature's forces, the Sapphire Dragonborn control the elemental power of air and water, and the Topaz Dragonborn wield the power of light and warmth.
Despite their differences, all Dragonborn share a sense of pride and honor derived from their draconic heritage. Their striking presence and undeniable prowess in battle make them a force to be reckoned with, and their loyalty to their clans and those they deem kin knows no bounds.
