Dragonkin

Dragonkin is a catch-all term used to describe the subraces that were created by the Dragons in an attempt to create worshippers that would give them enough power to ascend to godhood.  What the Dragons failed to realize is that free will is essential for worship to make a being divine.  They created perfect slaves, but as they were worshipping out of obligation, the Dragonkin could not help their masters ascend.

After the Dragon Wars, the Dragons took the remains of their army back up into the mountains to lick their wounds.  The Lizardmen forcibly rebelled after tensions with the Orcs came to a head.  Unbeknownst to the Dragons, the Lizardmen had found a hidden riverway that lead from a cavern near the Spire to the western side of the Solrest Mountains.
