Dragonborn

Dragonborn
Hidden Epithet:  “Guardians they stood, faithful and tall;  but Corruption can be pure, and pure corruption broke asunder all.”

Dragonborn are mostly native to the northwestern areas of the continent of Manirthos, and fully hold sway over the Valkan Islands. The Dragonborn society of the Valkans have a militant and seafaring culture

Born of dragons, as their name proclaims, the Dragonborn walk proudly through a world that greets them with fearful incomprehension. Shaped by draconic gods or the dragons themselves, Dragonborn originally hatched from dragon eggs as a unique race, combining the best attributes of dragons and humanoids.

To any Dragonborn, the clan is more important than life itself. Dragonborn owe their devotion and respect to their clan above all else, even the gods. Each Dragonborn's conduct reflects on the honor of his or her clan, and bringing dishonor to the clan can result in expulsion and exile. Each Dragonborn knows his or her station and duties within the clan, and honor demands maintaining the bounds of that position.

Dragonborn tend to extremes, making a conscious choice for one side or the other in the cosmic war between good and evil (represented by Bahamut and Tiamat, respectively). Most Dragonborn are good, but those who side with Tiamat can be terrible villains.

Red and Brass Dragonborn are never seen in the Valkan Isles.
