The dragonborn, or vaikas in the draconic tongue, were a majestic race which once walked the
world side by side with the legendary dragons. The first dragonborn arose from the union between
dragons and the mortal races. The innate power they were born with allowed them to conquer the
continent of Rezia.
In the wake of the great war, few dragonborn have been seen, and any reported sightings are quickly
dismissed as the ravings of yet another drunk adventurer.
Given recent events surrounding the return of dragons and Anu, questions have arisen as to whether
or not the dragonborn were truly gone as well. Many consider the race extinct, though it
is possible that some dragonborn remain, hidden away from the rest of the world.
Dragonborn were a strong and proud race. Many would have high Strength or Constitution scores, and
Charisma scores as well. They could live approximately two centuries on average, reaching adulthood
around 30. They are often fiercely loyal to their friends and family. Their proud nature tends to
lead dragonborn to more extreme ideologies and alignments.
