These names often come from draconic culture or language for something good or something they wish to be associated with. The cut who are made often keep their names until they die.

Major Language Groups and Dialects

All cut speak both draconic and common, but often learn new languages as they do not tend to stay in one place their entire life.

History

The cut was first made when Thornheart enslaved dragonborns with their half-dragons. They were made by dragonborns having their tails cut off. This did not affect the dragonborns except the pain and shames caused. It was first when the second generation was born without tails and physically weaker than other dragonborns. As the first age dragged on and thornheart eventually died out the cut continued to exist and other dragonborns having their tails cut off would birth more of the cut. The cut was not accepted into dragonborn society as they were a reminder of weakness and pain. Dragonborn would go on to hate and despise them and some times even kill them at sight as some were disgusted by their presence.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

The cut are mostly found in relationships with their own kind, but there are a few exceptions to this. The cut can only mate and breed with other cut or dragonborns, but some relationships between the cut and other races are not unheard even how rare they might be. Relationships between the cut and dragonborns are almost impossible but on a few occasions there have been interspecies relationships between the cut and dragonborns.
