History

Legend is told that the first Dragonborn are born from the magical experiment on malformed dragon egg, combining the essence of dragons with the adaptability of mortals in a dark ritual used to grant them a more humanoid shape, and to brainwash them into docile servants. A ritual that only partially succeeded, creating the horror now commonly known as dragonborn.
During the Draco-Giant War, dragon were seeking new tools, new slave to work for them during their exhausting fight, tools of war. When the dragons were going to the front, fighting the giants, the dragonborn were forced to create their armor, to prepare their spell component, to stitch the wounds of those coming back. And when you know the sheer size of a dragon, you know this is a task that was painfully long, and hard. Doing the tedious work the kobolds were too weak to achieve, but contrary to the kobold, the dragonborn were not thrilled by a life of enslavement. Unable to escape, they had to support this state until the end of the war.
When the great reunion started, human forces marched south, to the dragonborn territory, driving them to the desert. They were weak, ages of enslavement didn't lead them to any accomplishment, and the dragonborn leader realized there was only one way for his race to survive and prosper, and struck a deal with the Empire. They would surrender their lands and become members of Tana's empire, as long as they could govern themselves independently.
The human knew to agree and to keep their word, as an enemy that has nothing to lose is far more dangerous. And when the dragonbon and their land were fully indexed to Tana's empire, they kept a certain degree of freedom.
For years, the dragonborn were hated and feared, those who did survive during the era of dragon horrified by their draconic look. However, the hatred the dragonborn nourished toward the dragon was even stronger, in over only 2 generations, they managed to be accepted.
Having a lifespan similar to humans, the day where they were feared and rejected are forgotten. But one thing was carefully taught to young dragonborn, transmitted over the generation, a deep hatred for the dragons. Dragonborn share and transmit other important value in their society, concepts such as community, freedom and the ability to keep a promise is extremely valued among dragonborn.
