Dragonborn

Children of the dragons, as their name states, dragonborn walk with pride through a world that greets them with either fear or admiration. Some claim this race to be the most ancient among all races. In the Era of Expansion, they were settled in a small kingdom caught amidst the bloody conflicts between humans and elves. This conflict led to the destruction of the only place they truly belonged to, the city of Ember Cairn. However, this noble race managed to survive. Eons passed as the dragonborn prayed to the dragon gods to restore their kingdom but they did not answer. The Sacred Flame, their religion, was abandoned. The dragonborn were pious and spiritual by nature and needed something to believe in. This was offered to them by Castinellan missionaries who were spreading their new religion, that of the Divine Seraphs. Finding it close to their ideals of virtue and determinatino, the dragonborn quickly embraced the new religion and became its most zealous followers. They were quickly incorporated to the empire, becoming subjects of the Castinellan theocracy. Castinella awarded the dragonborn a small region of their ancestral land to call their own. Dragonborn rebuilt the ancient city of Ember Cairn, a city made entirely of granite. This city became a site of religious pilgrimage for dragonborn across the continent. With their ancient prayers finally answered, the dragonborn were drawn to the paths of clerics, missionaries, and inquisitors, to spread their new beliefs with burning passion and burning fire when necessary. The land of Etharis will hear the dragons roar once again.
Things to Note:

• Dragonborn can be found most commonly in the Castinellan Provinces, and especially in their home city of Ember Cairn.
• Dragonborn are generally untrusted by magic users across Etharis due to their heavy involvement with The Inquisition.
• In Etharis Dragonborn have Darkvision, their Breath Weapon can be used as a Bonus Action rather than an Action, and they will have a lifespan of up to 600 years.
