Dragonborn

Dragonborn, sometimes called Draconians or Half-Dragons, are a species of humanoid Dragons capable of exhaling an elemental breath weapon. In the current age Dragonborn have a very low population as they almost went extinct during the Age of Arcanum.
Dragonborn seem to be descended from Dragons, with their origin being able to be traced back to before the Dragon-Elf War in the Silver Age. It is widely believed that the first Dragonborn were the offspring of Dragons that used their shapeshifting ability to allow them to mate with Elves, with Dragonborn being the descendants of those offspring.

The Fall of Vracaris:

Before the Age of Arcanum there existed the Dragonborn empire of Vracaris which was home to a large portion of the Dragonborn population. In 523 BF Vracaris was mysteriously destroyed and with it disappeared the majority of the Dragonborn population.
The combination of the Fall of Vracaris and the Fall of Arcanum after it led to the Dragonborn population to remain low even to this day, with the Dragonborn species spread across the world.
The ruins of Vracaris can be found on the island of Scorchland in Terrasmus. The little archaeological information that could be gathered from the ruins suggest that the Dragonborn lived in a matriarchal society and worshipped the Draconic Pantheon before the fall.

Apperance:

Dragonborn are bipedal humanoid dragons that usually lack wings, though some do. They have scaled reptilian skin with Dragon-like heads and tails. 
Male and female Dragonborn look almost identical, though female Dragonborn tend to be larger and stronger than the males.
Scales: Dragonborn scales come in a wide range of colours, similar to the colours found in dragons. Examples include hues of black, blue, gold, green, red, silver and white.

Maturity:

Dragonborn mature quickly, they attain the size and development of a 10-year-old Human child by the age of 3, and reach adulthood by 15.

Reproduction:

Dragonborn hatch from eggs. Female Dragonborn can produce a single egg approximately every 10 years. This egg must be kept warm for 12 to 18 months before it hatches. If the egg is not kept in the appropriate climate it will hibernate indefinitely until the right conditions are met.
