Dracon
Appearance- Versatile quadrupedal and bipedal dragon like humanoids that come in many shapes and sizes. Scaly or plated skin covers their bodies from head to foot and most have long talons extending from their fingers and toes.
Age range- 8-150
Height range- 3"-8"
Languages- Common Tongue, Scale Speak
Culture- With a tribe like culture these decedents of dragons have one leader for each tribe that decides all for that group. Warfare and honor is where they hold their ties, but those are second to their love of their ancestors, the great dragons of the past. Despite their spiritual leaders and the chief, most Draconic are seen as equals, sharing everything amongst the tribe.
Leadership- The Draconic government is a Theocracy in which the beliefs of their ancestors or "gods" are mixed within the rules of the land. There is one ruler who speaks for all in their land without opposition. The governing leader, or Mufti, is elected from the many leaders of the Dracon tribes, selecting the wisest and most experienced of their chiefs to lead their people.
Legal- Narcotics are welcomed in the Draconic lands and are used quite often to for religious practices.
Slavery is welcomed in the Draconic lands though not nearly as visible as in human lands. Most slaves are humans captured through skirmishes on small border villages or from raiding Varrel.
Illegal- All alcoholic beverages are banned in Draconic lands seeing as a person degrading their bodies with poisonous substances is an affront towards their ancestors.
Diet- Draconic meals are often rough compared to other races, enjoying dried roots, and a mixture of fish, giant grubs and hard shells fruits. Given the harsh lands they live in its difficult to find something else to dine on.
Religion- By birth Draconic people are welcomed into the embrace of the Holy Drakkan. Following in the lessons that their great ancestors left behind they respect their highest of leaders, honor those they fight with and against and go to great lengths to rediscover all that has been lost from the times of the great dragons. Obligation, Loyalty, Reverence, and Lineage.
Racials-
*Wings- Gives free travel to other cities (cannot be used in combat until purchased with skill points. Can act as steed if one is bought)
(Wings can sprout from a characters body if person does not wish for their wings to be visible at all times, must state when wings are out or not.)
*Vicious Claws- Starts off with Journeyman rank in unarmed combat.
*Blood of Dragons- Gives 5% increase to all experience gains.
History- Little is known of just how the Dracon came to be. Most have heard of the tales where the Dragons of the past took the form of humans to hide from their wars, but instead they morphed into a creature in between the two. Peaceful towards one another the Dracon were quick to build an Empire of their own, but disagreements between them created smaller tribes that are dotted across their lands. While views are not always shared, all Dracon are welcome in The Nest, where their people come far and wide to give tribute to their ancestors. Holy wars between the humans and the Dracon have happened in the past though little ground was taken by either side though ending with a human victory. While recently no official troops have been sent into either land, skirmishes are reported often on the Garnet Isles and Amber Hill border.
