History
Among the tharurian dragonborn, commonly believed myth about their ancestry is that they were born out of Asgorath's blood, together with Tiamat & Bahamut. However, old text of dwarfs and elves contest this notion.
What is known, is that dragonborn most likely created as a slave race for the chromatic dragons, around -10,000 TbS. The exact process is unknown, but this might have been achieved with selective breeding among humanoids, dragons, and half-dragons with magic involved. This might have been an idea that brew from the powerful mages among chromatic dragons. The suggestion is supported by the fact that most dragonborn are chromatic, not metallic.
While dragonborn themselves might not want to believe to be created by their former slavers, historians agree that it was the mistreatment of dragonborn that played a part in Fall of Titans and loss of power that dragons would later suffer. It's regarded that metallic dragons helped to free the enslaved dragonborn in their efforts to beat their chromatic brethren.
Most dragonborns of Melyria are nomadic but on the continent of Umeros Tharurian dragonborn have managed to arrange their clans under Overlord of Aradace Tharur.
