Dragonborn

Children of the dragons, as their name states, Dragonborn walk with pride through a world that greets them either with fear or admiration. They look very much like dragons, with thick scales covering their bodies, sharp claws, and fangs which they can use as weapons.
Though they lack wings, they are strongly built and stout with colours resembling those of their ancestors.
Some claim that this race must be the most ancient among all races. In the Era of Expansion, they were settled in a small kingdom caught amidst the bloody conflicts between humans and elves. This conflict led to the destruction of the only place they truly belonged to, the city of Ember Cairn. However, this noble race managed to survive. Eons passed as the Dragonborn prayed to the dragon gods to restore their kingdom, and the dragon gods did not answer. Wrath grew among the Dragonborn, as well as desperation.
They stopped praying to their dragon lords and their religion, the Sacred Flame, was abandoned. The Dragonborn, however, pious and spiritual by nature, needed something to believe in. A new religion was offered to them by Castinellan missionaries who were spreading the word of their new religion, that of the Divine Seraphs. Finding it close to the Dragonborn ideals of virtue and determination, they quickly embraced the new religion and became its most zealous followers. Sharing the same beliefs with the humans of the Castinella Provinces, they were quickly incorporated into the empire, becoming subjects of the Castinellan theocracy.
Castinella awarded the Dragonborn a small region of their ancestral land to call their own. Dragonborn rebuilt the ancient city of Ember Cairn, a city made entirely of granite. Many Dragonborn from across the continent flocked to the city and began to worship the Divine Seraphs. This city became a site of religious pilgrimage for Dragonborn across the continent. With their ancient prayers finally answered, the Dragonborn were drawn to the paths of clerics, missionaries, and inquisitors, to spread their new beliefs with burning passion and burning fire when necessary. 
Although many Dragonborn accepted the religion of Castinella, others saw the religion of the Divine Seraphs as heretical and viewed those who followed it as traitors. The Daanbala family, no longer interested in reclaiming their ancestral homeland of Ember Cairn, settled in the North and established the city of Dagmhran (Dragon Home). When the Dagmhran discovered Firewyrms in the forested mountains South of their capital, they saw it as a sign that their path was righteous. The Dagmhran established the city of Karek and declared the surrounding land the Dagmas. The Firewyrms were seen as pseudo-gods to the Dagmhran, and their discovery proved two things to them: the Dagmhran were correct in their superiority over the Castinellan Dragonborn, and the Castinellan Dragonborn needed to be shown it.
