Silver: Silver dragonkin are second only to Goldscales. They are a collection of mystics and mages, and every child born to this caste is raised as such. They are taught the ancient secrets of the universe that only a Silverscale is allowed to know.
Bronze: Bronze dragonkin are landowners and nobility. Bronzescales often handle banking and administrative duties.
Brass: Brass dragonkin are the merchants, traders, and travelers of the world, often bringing innovation and coin from beyond the nation's borders. Brasscales are the most common metallic dragonkin seen worldwide for this reason.
Copper: Copper dragonkin occupy the military caste and train their entire lives to hone their bodies into deadly weapons. Violence is typically shunned by metallics, but Copperscales are the lowest in their hierarchy, so it is permissible.

Red: Red dragonkin are artisans and crafters. Redscales are responsible for most domestic products.
Green: Green dragonkin are the agricultural class. Greenscales often sell the produce they grow themselves, but often must give a portion of the crop to the landowners.

White: White dragonkin are service providers. Whitescales do the dirty work that others above them can't be bothered to do themselves.
Black: Black dragonkin occupy the lowest echelon of dragonkin society. Blackscales are seen as untouchable and are often ignored, if not abused, by metallics. They often have to resort to begging or thievery to get by.
