The Dragonborn were a race of humanoid half-dragons, the product of alliances between Dragon- and Human-kind during the early years of the great War of Dragons. Since then, clans of Dragonkin, though rare, could be found throughout Auriin.
Appearance
Dragonborn looked very much like dragons standing upright in humanoid form, though they lacked wings and in most cases lacked tails. Their skin was covered in scales of colours reflecting their draconic lineage, though in much duller tones than the vibrant hues of true dragons. They were tall and well-built, often measuring well over 6'6" and weighing over 300 pounds, though there was a great deal of variation between subraces. Dragonborn were born armed with breath weapons, like their draconic ancestors.
Behaviour
To many dragonborn, the clan was more important than life itself. Dragonborn owed their devotion to their clan above all else, even the gods. A continual drive for improvement reflected the self-sufficiency of the race as a whole - dragonborn valued skill and excellence in all endeavours. They inherited both adaptability of their human progenitors and the obsessive behaviour of their draconic forebears, which made for a potent combination. These traits allowed dragonborn to excel in a wide variety of fields, from baking to blacksmithing, warfare to fine art.
Territory
While some dragonborn remained in their ancestral home of Shuul, many went on to roam the mainland of Auriin. By the end of the fifth era, dragonborn could be found all over the continent. Some dragonborn integrated themselves with larger society, living amongst other humanoid races as equals, whereas others belonged to nomadic clans wandering the wilds.
Dragonborn with chromatic ancestry were widely - and often falsely - perceived as evil, due to the acts of certain chromatic dragons during the war. Thus, they often found themselves forced into reclusion, living far from society in forests, caves and ruins, in tight-knit family clans.
