Dragonborn

Dragonborn are one of the oldest humanoid races in the world, predating even the elves from the First Age, and predating the Divine Pantheon itself.

They were initially created by the dragons when they battled the Prime Elementals for control of the elements for unknown reasons. Most commonly, it is believed that the dragons needed humanoid servants and soldiers for the war, but scholars cannot quite agree on why.

Regardless, at some point, they gained freedom from their draconic overlords, and have influenced history since then. Unlike other "monstrous" races like tieflings or half-orcs, dragonborn are in fact treated with a degree of respect and admiration, if mixed with a bit of fear.

Dragonborn do not put much emphasis on family, although they do group up based on scale colouration now and again.

Many Dragonborn also migrated to the Sumerkan Empire, following the prophet of Rauta, Gilganesh.

Dragonborn live around 70 years, slightly less than humans.
