Cobalt Dragonkin

Descendants of Cobalt Dragons

Students file into a classroom, taking their seats and waiting to see what awaits them in their new course. Expectations of heavy tomes and Elven and Dwarvish professors fill their heads, but when the hour tolls, a woman of glittering scales walks in, glasses perched on her snout, arms full of scrolls. While the students expected to be greeted by one of their own here at the Unending Scroll, they are met instead with a Dragonkin, her knowledge just as great as anyone else at the academy.
Cobalt Dragonkin are the descendants of one of the Elder Races and a Cobalt Dragon. They have inquisitive minds and are built to survive the long winters of the coldest places in the world, but they often choose to live where academies are, utilizing their knowledge and talents as teachers and Scholars. It is not uncommon to see them teaching a variety of classes in the greatest academies of the world, magical or otherwise.
Above all else, these people believe in service. The Council of Metallic Dragons has proven that they can make a difference, no matter how small, no matter where. Metallic Dragonkin follow in the footsteps of their ancestors, each in different ways. Cobalt Dragonkin study and teach, serving in professions where their knowledge can be shared with all. Much like the Pachyderms and Elves of the world, these people find their purpose in teaching and broadening their horizons.
