## Statistics

### Estimated Population

Between 20 to 100 have been thought to live on Rathnir and Eldham. Dragwen accounts report that their lost father civilization contained unspecified millions.

## What are they?

### Basics

The Dragwen are a race of anthropomorphic dragon creatures said to have originated from a subterranean world below the void known as the Untervol. Very few Dragwen are known to live on Rathnir, notable examples include Athel I and Athel II, and recently, Phrotonz and Festive. There have been some sightings in Eldham as well, but similar to their Rathnir brethren, very few have been seen there too. The only sightings have been on the small peninsula of Mirau in the Kingdom of Anglunia

### Physical Appearance

The main physical features associated with Dragwen are as follows; Horns (2 or 4) along the back of the head, scales, tails, and a lack of wings. Dragwen often vary greatly in size from individual to individual, the largest being up to 7 feet and the smallest down to 3 feet. They display no discernible gender dimorphism due to females lacking mammary features on account of being reptilian.

### Lifespan

The Dragwen race is an apparent hybrid species that has similar characteristics to that of Dragons. This apparent similarity is not only seen in the physical features, but also in their longevity of life. The average Dragwen under normal living circumstances is thought to reach an age well past 700 years.

## Where did they come from?

### Dragwen Accounts

##### Original Accounts:

According to accounts known as the dei imeç kov Untervol, which was written by the Dragwen in their native language. They are the descendants of an Subterranean exposition to the surface world led by a grand empire known as the Untervol. The small population of the Dragwen and their appearance relatively recently appearance into the world of Rarhnir is due the limited scope of the expedition and the length it took to reach the surface world.

##### Modern-day Accounts:

According to modern accounts from Phrotonz and Festive, Dragwen originally come from a place far bellow Rathnir's core. Many items of interest such as lost scriptures, machinery, and strange heat-producing plates, have supposedly been transported to the surface from the Dragwen home-land.

### Contradictions to the accounts

According to the dei imeç kov Untervol, the Untervol is a subterranean civilization far below the bedrock level of Rathnir. This contradicts the known fact that below the bedrock is the Void, as evident by multiple sacrifice pits. It is plausible the Untervol exists far beneath the void itself. Thought this would bring into question how a Dragwen expedition to the surface managed to make their way through the Void without dying. It's plausible they had some kind of magic/technology to make the journey. If such technology or magic did exist, there has yet to be any evidence of it discovered.

As of recently, a mysterious item has come into the possession of Phrotonz and Festive, with some people they have shown the device to convinced that it is the device is the item used to transport themselves to and from the Dragwen home-land. Unfortunately, no-one has figured out the inner workings of the machine.
