Dragonbourne

Dragonbourne/Lizardmen

Lizardmen were the next experiment, and they turned out much better for their creators, despite lots of

variation based on breeding, magical experimentation and progenitors traits. These were stronger, less concerned with their own safety, and capable with similar cleverness as most humanoids, and were utterly devoted to their creators. They serve the dragons whole heartedly, acting as armies, guards, diplomats, kidnappers, and on occasion food. The lizardmen, or as they prefer Dragonbourne worship the dragons as Gods and Goddesses, accepting their judgements and wisdom and their commands as moral imperatives.

As dragons grow dormant, Dragonbourne civilizations continue and seek the agenda that they best believed would serve their master, even if they have been abandoned. This has created fortified city states in isolated areas, or treasure hunting groups that would seek out gold and humanoid sacrifices back to the site of their former master’s horde. Some hide the secret eggs of their gods and do their best to bring about a hatching, something that rarely happens without intervention. Kobolds spread like vermin and survive wherever they are able, eking out a living wherever larger creatures ignore them. They are on every continent, except where goblins are, as they compete for a similar wrung in the food chain. Like their massive masters, Lizardmen and kobolds can also go into a hibernative state which can prolong their life. Heat usually wakes them up, as does the presence of a dragon. This usally happens only when there is a lack of food, or if there are other more dangerous predators that the kobolds/dragonborne are incapable of defeating. For the dragonborne, it takes a few days of sleep to enter into this state.

Both kobolds and dragonborne bear an almost genetic aversion to harming or eating anything that is clearly

draconic; including each other. Dragonborne usually make a place for kobolds in their settlements, but neither can easily bring themselves to harm each other. Dragons and their first children (Drakes, Wyverns and such) have no such compunctions. While kobolds run from such assaults, and dragonborne accept such sacrifices as necessary moral judgement.

Dragonbourne can interbreed, but one type is always dominant, usually that of the mother.
