Dragonborn

A male blue dragonborn and a female black dragonborn

### **ALL FEAR THE DRAGONMEN'S POWER**

*Backed into a corner, the Dragonborn cleric clutched a symbol of Bahamut to his chest and muttered a few ancient words, feeling something building deep within him. In a flash, the pack of dire wolves with goblin jockeys atop were burned to a crisp--the Dragonborn had unleashed the ancient power of dragons-- his breath weapon! Praising his god and kissing his symbols, his thanks toward Bahamut had came about in the form of tears streaming down his scaly cheeks.*

#### **Biology**

The Dragonborn are tall, stoic draconic humanoids with thick tails and hard pointed horns or frills. They have powerful thick, dense limbs that show clearly the immense muscle mass they sport. Deep within their throats, they possess an organ not unlike a liver, which turns a chamber of specialized blood into pure magical energy that materializes as their breath weapon. This effect is dependent on their ancestry, as a Blue Dragonborn's breath weapon will not be the same as a Black Dragonborn's. Their heads and other traits resemble their ancestors' as well.

#### **Culture**

The culture of the Dragonborn is one that is greatly strained between two parties due to religious quarrels between followers of Bahamut and Tiamat. On the side of the good-aligned followers of Bahamut, they wish only to protect the right to freely worship and act in accordance with their god. On the side of Tiamat, her followers wish to spread her influence and bring about a promised change that was prophesied in ancient Tiamat-related texts. This conflict was only intensified when Tiamat, in her 5-headed draconic form, was slain in the city of Qinad in Bruvodell by a thousand Bahamut-follower's silvered spears.

#### **Origin**

The origin of the Dragonborn came about when the Dragon-God Scholars had heard of the birth of Brother King Bahamut and Sister Queen Tiamat. As gifts, they created the metallic dragons and dragonborn for Bahamut and the chromatic dragons and dragonborn for Tiamat. Bahamut and Tiamat began to argue over which was superior, and this led to Tiamat scratching out Bahamut's eye. This created the rift between the two, and their appropriately-pigmented followers.

#### **Subraces**

##### **Standard**

The standard Dragonborn are those that were created from the Dragon Scholars and gifted to the infant Tiamat and Bahamut.

##### **Scholarborn *(Draconblood)***

The Scholarborn are Dragonborn that were created separately by the Dragon Scholars in a fit of vanity to resemble themselves. They are more lithe and feminine than their counterparts.

##### **Hellion *(Ravenite)***

The Hellion Dragonborn were a tougher variant created by Tiamat and Bahamut to face against each other in religious crusades. They are thicker and more masculine than their counterparts.

#### **Statistics**

The inability of Fandom to be a useful tool in hosting large amounts of written text was made apparent during the creation of this page. Due to terrible site limitations, the Statistics of the Dragonborn will instead be taken from here instead. (Thanks to dnd5e.wikidot.com for being an amazing system reference document!) Also, the subraces above will show which subrace they are supposed to represent on the wikidot page stats-wise. Thanks for your patience. <3

The Standard Dragonborn subrace is taken from the Player's Handbook.

The Scholarborn (Draconblood) and Hellion (Ravenite) subraces are from Explorer's Guide to Wildemount and simply reskinned to fit in with my lore. No statistics are to be changed.
