His scales of gold stood out in this hall though it is his home. He pushed his way through the large set of doors to the attendance chamber, the attendants by the door did not sire to do so. Awaiting in the reception hall on a raised pile of pillows was the ancestoral dragon gleaming red. The dragon glanced at him, then looked on curiously. Before him stood a gold Dragonborn clad in armour as he approched looking supremly confident. <div style='margin-top:8px;'></div> ### Origin Related to dragons only distantly the dragonborn where in fact born of dragon. Long ago when the first dragons came into being each dragon drained the blood of the Kor, ancient titains of magic, and past it out in goblets so that their people may drink a mouthful while the Dagon, their leaders, saved the entire body for themselves. With each one slain a new brood of dragons was born creating the broods as they are today. As such many clans are ruled by an ancestral dragon or at least those that chose to stay and rule, many decide to abandon their people during the War of Screams. Those that chose to stay are honored while those that now roam separately are treated with disdain, but never to the dragons face. ### Broods Dragonborn were created with the dragons themselves from the blood of the Kor. As such they share the same heritage and the same bloodlines. Dragonborn take after lines called a brood, a line of heritage for dragons, this is the main ancestor for the individual. A dragonborn may have unique colourations and features form varies broods, but will take after one as a dominant, dragons after all have problems sharing. This leads to clans looking very unique as two or more dragon brood-linse in the family would produce entirely unique dragonborn and occasionally genetic throwbacks. If a dragonborn from a different clan or a clanless, referred to as a "scaleless", marries into the clan they benefit from the clan but in name and protection only. Any offspring of the newcomer are looked down upon if they have "The wrong scales". ### Ancestral Clans Once a great empire that spanned worlds the War of Screams destroyed it and all is left are small kingdoms that have formed and fallen each ruled by an ancestral dragon and the clans. Most clans in this age have multiple brood-lines in their clan and amung their ancestral dragons creating a unique mix of varies dragonborn. The clans live in any number of environments assimilating others into there society and by assimilate it is either as slaves or as allies. This is not to say that many are not benevolent in there own way toppling inept governments and protecting those that they see as allies. \columnbreak > ##### Dragons in Setting > As you may have guessed these dragons described in this resource are not those typical in most settings. These ones have a far more varied sense of morality over the good vs evil heroic style ones described in the Monster Manual. However you can adjust them back by making metallic dragon clans as bastions of righteous and chromatic dragon clans as slavers and tyrants. ### Dragonborn **Age.** Young dragonborn grow quickly.
