Description
Dragonborn of The Crystal Collective
Dragonborn within The Crystal Collective fulfill a variety of roles within their community. Those proficient in physical labor will often supplement their strengths with martial training to become a member of the illustrious Vanguard, trained to protect hearth and home with a shield in one hand, and pride in the other. Those proficient in hunting, tracking, and navigating the world beyond the caverns may become Skirmishers, gifted hunters with sharp instincts, adept at flanking and exploiting weaknesses of their prey.
Dragonborn of The Crystal Collective that are more in tune with their natural psychic abilities find their powers grow with continued exposure to the crystals formations around them. This can lead to visions or divinations to guide the Collective towards favor and fortune, eventually becoming an Oracle, a shamanistic priest commonly believed to read if not weave the golden threads of fate itself, for better or for worse. Those that covet or exploit these secrets risk becoming known as a Witch instead. While mysterious and reclusive, they are not seen as a threat to members of The Crystal Collective itself, however, all should be wary of catching the attention of one, whether by ire or interest.
When the witch dies, their flesh shrivels away before their bones explode, sending a shower of magical splinters in all directions.
