Homebrew Silverbrow Species Details
Silverbrow
Silver Dragons are unique among their kind in that they so often relish the Human form that their shapeshifting powers allow them - a trait that is more often than not traced back to the ancient dragon Mest'revek, who first took human form to teach men the secrets of magic. This ancestral penchant for spending such time among humankind leaves it no surprise, then that Silver Dragons, more than any other species of dragon, have intermingled their magical bloodlines with those of men.
Arcane Ancestry
Where their dragonborn relatives more often inherit the power and strength of their respective kin, Silverbrow children instead inherit the magical prowess of their Draconic Lineage. Often demonstrating magical aptitude at a very young age, Silverbrow have an uncommon affinity for the magic of illusions, and harbour some of the natural magical resistance of their ancestors, but by far their most prevalent magical inheritance lies in the ability to float softly to the ground from any height.
Silvered Humans
Silverbrow bloodlines run much further back than those of their dragonborn relatives, and unlike their close relatives - the dragoborn, Sliverbrow do not exhibit the same bestial traits as their Draconic ancestors. Rather than scales and horns, Silverbrow traits are more subtle. Their builds are often relatively slender, but muscular, and their hair is tinged with streaks or point sof brilliant silver. Their most distinguishing feature, however, are their silver eyes, which shimmer like pools of liquid metal in the light of day. These traits do not develop until adolescence, and it is not uncommon for the bloodline to not produce a Silverbrow for many generations, meaning that many human parents are surprised when their children begin to show signs of draconic birth.
Some family accept these silvered Children eagerly, Excited for the gifts they have been blessed with.But in smaller communities such abnormalities can sometimes be mistaken for a curse or mutation.
While they mature at a similar rate to normal Humans, Silverbrow can often live to be as old as 500 years. This grants them plenty of time to consider their own place in the world.
Silverbrow Names
While it is not unheard of for a Silvered Child to take up some other moniker in adulthood, most Silverbrow are not recognized as such at the time of their birth, and so most often go by human names.
