Iovan

Iovan are a proud race of humanoid-like dragon creatures that to most, are given some semblance of trust or respect. The Iovan themselves are pure-blooded dragons who were given a blessing of a humanoid form and have an almost dog-like facial structure, wings made of feathers and a tail. They are also subject to the respect of the righteous noble families as many Iovan's have been members of royal families for generations.

> As Maje'en walked up to the balcony, he looked at his subjects and smiled, lifting a hand to settle them down. He was announcing his Son Ha'alben and daughter-in-law Mirala as the next king and queen. As he lowered his hand, he began to speak, his words filling the air with confidence and grace, with a great sense of pride. As he had introduced them, his son and daughter-in-law walked up into view and bowed in respect to what would be soon their subjects. All this time they had been working hard to be ready for this moment and their hard work paid off. Soon enough Maje'en turned to face his son as their wife, the queen faced Mirala, where the gave some final words before ceremoniously placing the crown on their head, the symbol of the new leadership.
