Dragonfolk

Dragonfolk reside on the isle of Darastrix Tolgalen. They're rarely seen in the mainland outside of the occasional political entourage, and even those only happen every few dozen years.

## Personality:

To the dragon folk, honor is more important than life itself. First and foremost, honor is tied to battlefield conduct. Adversaries should be treated with courtesy and respect, even if they are bitter enemies. Caution and discretion are key to a warrior’s survival, but fear is a disease and cowardice is a moral failing. The drive to behave honorably extends into the rest of the Dragonfolk’s life; breaking an oath is the height of dishonor, and attention to honesty extends to every word. A commitment made must be carried out.

## Physical Description:

Dragonfolk resemble humanoid dragons. They’re covered in scaly hide, but they don’t have tails. They are tall and strongly built, often standing close to 7 feet in height and weighing at least 250 pounds -- females being of basically the same height and weight as males. Their hands and feet are strong, talon like claws with four fingers and a thumb on each hand. A Dragonfolk’s head can feature a blunt snout, a strong brow, and distinctive frills at the cheek and ear. Behind the brow, a crest of hornlike scales of various lengths resembles thick, ropy hair. They have yellow eyes.

## Religion:

The Dragonfolk are one of the few races that don’t worship The Twelve. Instead, they worship patron dragons of the same color as their clan. No outsiders know for sure if there are dragons on their isle. On the main continent, a dragon hasn't been seen for centuries.

## Language:

Dargonfolk learn to speak, read, and write their native language, Draconic, as well as Elfish, which they view as a lesser language used for trade and diplomacy. Draconic is thought to be one of the oldest languages and is often used in the study of magic and other scholarly pursuits.
