Dragonborn

Originally born of Dragons, as their name proclaims, the dragonborns are a proud and bold race. Dragonborn were at first hatched from eggs similar to that of Dragons. Combining the best attributes of Dragons and humanoids. Some dragonborn remain faithful servants to Dragons, while others form the ranks of other humanoid soldiers in great wars, and still others find themselves adrift, with no clear calling in life.

Dragonborn look very much like small Dragons standing erect in humanoid form, though they lack wings. Some still have the tails of the Dragons, while others are without a tail. The first dragonborn had scales of vibrant hues matching the colours of their dragon kin, but generations of interbreeding have created a more uniform appearance. Their small, fine scales range in colour. Their hands and feet are strong, talonlike claws with three fingers and a thumb on each hand.

The blood of a particular type of dragon runs very strong through some dragonborns. These dragonborn often boast scales that more closely match those of their dragon ancestor.

Though all dragonborn strive to be self-sufficient, they can recognise that help is sometimes needed in difficult situations. However, they consider best source for such help is from loyal friends and family.
