Dragonborn
History
It is believed that Bahamut had left the knowledge on how to make the Dragonborn and other draconic beings before he left. In doing so he hoped that the future draconic beings could bring good upon the world like he had hoped they would when he first arrived. The Dragonborn was the first species that the Vedalken created and was used as a guide to help them create the rest of the hybrids that inhabit the world. Dragonborn often take up the same traits of their draconic ancestors and can be found from the freezing tundra of the Thunukalathi clans down to the deserts of the Gregar Dynasty.Dragonborn Common Traits

Chromatic Dragonborn
Chromatic Dragonborns are often regarded as the antisocial ones of the group. Normally keeping a small circle of loved ones they tend to be by themselves and keep interactions with others to a minimum. This is often taken as a sign of them being unapproachable, rude, and having a strong dislike for people. While in reality they just like their isolation and get drained socially from others. Once when you get to know one, they tend to be the most caring people there are; once you are considered family to them, they will stop at nothing to protect you.Chromatic Ancestry
