Dragonheir

The dragonheirs, formerly known as dragonmasters, were an Abeiran human bloodline who had been granted the power to control Dragons by the primordials.

Abilities

Dragonheirs had the ability to control Dragons by gaze, voice, or touch. A few legends told that the most powerful dragonheirs could harm Dragons by gaze or by touch, as well. A dragon affected by the powers of a dragonheir was forced to flee to a remote place and sink into a deep torpor.

History

The original dragonmasters were the roost masters of the primordials, humans charged to keep their dragon steeds in check. After the Dragons defeated the primordials, they began to systematically kill any known dragonmaster, until only a few individuals remained.

The most prominent surviving heirs of the dragonmasters, called dragonheirs in modern times, were those of the Arkeld, Horndragon, Marlserpent, and Relguld clans. The Dragons also purged any dragonheir they knew about, and eventually they exterminated the Horndragon and Marlserpent bloodlines, while leaving only a few survivors of the Arkeld and Relguld clans.

Notable Members

The only known dragonheirs were human natives from the Sword Lands in Laerakond.
