Dragonborn

Dragonborn are a race of proud, honorable warriors with strong magical traditions and ancient blood-ties to dragons. They never break an oath, and express their sense of honor by perfecting their skills and brooking no insult. They believe adversaries should be treated with courtesy and respect, even if they are bitter enemies. Caution and discretion are key to a warrior’s survival, but fear is a disease and cowardice is a moral failing. Ultimately, a dragonborn takes responsibility for his or her actions and their consequences. The drive to behave honorably is paramount to the dragonborn, and their continual drive for self-improvement reveals an additional aspect of dragonborn honor. Thus, breaking an oath is the height of dishonor, and attention to honesty extends to every word. A commitment made must be carried out.

Physical Description: Dragonborn resemble humanoid dragons, but are slightly bigger than most other races, standing between 6 and 7 feet tall. In fact, their very appearance gives an impression of virtuous purpose. Most dragonborn have very fine scales over most of their body, becoming larger towards their extremities, and are typically scarlet, gold, rust, ochre, bronze, or brown. Rarely do an individual’s scales match the hue of a chromatic or metallic dragon, and scale color gives no indication of the type of breath weapon a dragonborn uses. A dragonborn’s head features a blunt snout, a strong brow, and distinctive frills at the cheek and ear. Behind the brow, a crest of hornlike scales of various lengths resembles thick, ropy hair. Their eyes are shades of red or gold.

Society: Long ago, dragonborn empires contended for worldwide dominion, but now only a few rootless clans remain to pass on their legends of ancient glory. Although they no longer have a homeland to call their own, dragonborn continue to value honor, skill, and excellence in all endeavors one undertakes. This allows them to integrate easily into other cultures, especially those that hold similar values. Many find a home among humans and dwarves which
