Homebrew Dragonian Species Details
The draconian tribes are all centered around the dragon that either birthed or fathered their species. In most tribes a dragon has relations with some humanoid species and this creates the Dragonians, they take the aspects of their dragon ancestor, all Dragonians are covered in armored scales, have tails and horns and like dragon born, can breathe an element of the dragons. Some tribes have wings and can fly. Dragons sometimes form these tribes to help them, members of the tribes could help with nursing the dragons young, keeping the dragons belongings safe, guarding the home of the dragon, sometimes even blessed by the dragon and marked as an honorary dragon, little is known to the world about this ritual, what is known is that those who survive are even more draconic than the rest of the tribe, they gain the ability and musculature to fly for incredible lengths of time and gain mastery of their breathe, but there are two stages to this ritual, the first is the marking and the flying, the second half is unknown to the best scholars, only the Dragonians know. Dragonian culture is centered around a thirst to learn from the dragon who is their father or mother. very few become what the dragonians call a Drahkon, this is what they call those who successfully pass the dragons test to become an honorary dragon and have the right to call themselves a dragon, their legends say that one will rise as a Drahkon and be accepted as a dragon and marked by several elder dragons and transform into a new dragon, this icon would be called the Eijnarii Drakis, the guardian dragon. Their myths and elders tell this tale and say the guardian will be the ultimate protector to their kind, that they will unite all Dragonian tribes and find their promise land so to speak, a safe haven where they can build their own kingdom and be free from the humans that hunt them for their horns and hide, the dragonians while powerful warriors, are still easier to kill than a dragon and have dragon hide themselves. Very few tribes interact with one another even though the dragons themselves tend to get along fine, the culture of each tribe is specialized and slightly different from the rest.
