Homebrew Dragonkrest Species Details
Dragonkrests are born from dragons, much like the dragonborn. Dragonkrests exist in a world where danger, death and capture surround them. Dragonkrests were shaped by dragons from their dropped scales. Dragonkrests have human-like traits such as legs and arms. But they also contain dragon-like features such as wings and the ability to breathe fire, acid, ice, etc. The dragonkrests saw themselves as greater than dragons and left them to pursue life within their own civilisations.
Dragonkrest History
Dragonkrests were formed around 50,000 years ago. They were formed from the dropped scales of the dragons. They appeared upright with arms and legs, but they bore an extreme resemblance to the dragons. Their skin matched the colour of the dragon they were formed from. Dragonkrests are often about 7 foot in height and weight close to 400 pounds. Their hands have claw-like fingers with talons on the end of them. The scales of the dragonkrest often match or closely follow their original dragon but they have also mutated different colours from the dragons. The dragons created them to be subservient to them, but the dragonkrests rebelled and left to make their own kingdoms.
Dragonkrest kingdoms
The dragonkrests belong to different kingdoms. When the kingdoms were huge major points of faith for the dragonkrests. They had a feeling of belonging and they respected their kingdoms above themselves. The way dragonkrests behave is based off of the clan they have allegiance to. If they dishonoured their kingdom they could face jail time or even death. Each of the dragonkrests knew what they had to do to keep the kingdom alive. If you were a soldier or guard you were more respected than some nobility. Dragonkrests value excelling in their core strengths: Strength, Intelligence and Wisdom. Dragonkrests learned to accept failure and use it as a way to improve and not make the same mistake twice. They also learned how to make their own slaves to do their dirty work. Theses slaves are called draglings.
Fall of the dragonkrests
During the height of the Dragonkrest kingdom they were a main dominant force. The orcs weren't fans of their success and decided to try and make them suffer. The orcs mixed various potions together until they found one that worked. The orcs released this new found potion in the various Dragonkrest kingdoms. The kingdoms quickly began to fall apart as dragonkrestians were dying and falling ill. It was extremely potent and quickly spread among the dragonkrests. Some managed to escape the poisonous potion and fled into hiding. They were forced to hide away. After the release of the potion the orcs made their way through the dragonkrest kingdoms and looked for and killed any survivors of the potion. Those that escaped the kingdoms were safe from the orcs but they held a personal vendetta against all of the orcs in the world.
