Drakken

One of the children of Grimm, god of logic, Drakkens are a reptilian race of sapient humanoids. Due to the natural blessings given to them as the firstborn of Grimm, the Drakken find themselves at the top of the social heirarchy. Drakken tend to be fairly rational beings, and are the least likely to run into trouble without a plan.

## Naming Conventions

Drakken naming conventions traditionally consist of a family name followed by a singular given name. Middle names are rarely utilized. While once common, generational names have become rarer in recent times.

Some Drakken have done away with the traditional naming scheme, and have begun to adopt the given name first name pattern utilized by other races. Most Drakken who have abandoned their familial ties do away with both their family and given names, adopting a singular descriptive name instead.

Drakken names are often short, consisting of 1-2 syllables, and utilize strong, abrupt consonants, and smooth hissing sounds. Doubled letters are common, denoting a lengthened or held sound.

### Example of Generational Naming

The Nox are a traditionalist Drakken family. Nox Thaquun and his partner, Sind, decide to name their firstborn Kulvar. When Thaquun’s younger sister, Tharind, has children with her partner, Keldar, they decide to utilize the same first syllable of ‘Kul’, naming their child Kulos. This first syllable will continue to be utilized when naming all children of this generation, just as Thaquun and Tharind’s parents before them utilized the syllable ’Tha’.
