Half-Dragon

**Half-dragons** are the result of a dragon crossbreeding with another creature or of that creature undergoing a magical ritual.

## History

2,600 years ago the dragons of Argonnessen are thought to have wiped out all half-dragons along with the Mark of Death in their purge of House Vol. The dragons declared the mixing of dragon and elf blood as abominable in this instance.

## Appearance & Personality

Half-dragons inherit the traits and appearance of their dragon forebears, blended with that of their non-dragon ancestor.

## Abilities

Half-dragons have the *breath weapon* ability related to their associated draconic color.

## Society

Half-dragons are typically looked down on and shunned by dragons. Those who ally with the Daughter of Khyber may become half-dragons.

## Lands

Half-dragons are present in Q'barra. Elves of the Draleus Tairn may have rituals to create half-dragons. Some half-dragon lizardfolk are present in Xen'drik.

Half-dragon rakshasa are known to belong to the Talons of Tiamat, and act as liaisons between the Daughter of Khyber and followers of other Overlords within the Lords of Dust.

## Notable Personalities

* **Lady Vol:** Erandis Vol was the result of years of cooperation between House Vol of Aerenal and a flight of dragons of Argonnessen. She is the child of an elven mother with the mark of death and the green dragon known as the Emerald Claw. Her and her family were presumed destroyed in an event that united the forces of Aerenal and Argonnessen behind a common goal.

## Notes

Keith Baker has suggested on his website that the line of Vol was not exterminated for simply producing a half-dragon, but rather for producing a creature with an apex Mark of Death. He suggested that a dragon creating a half-dragon with the mortal races would be considered appropriate when it involved the Draconic Prophecy or is specifically required for a desired outcome.
