Homebrew Dallthrach (Dragonborn Subrace) Species Details
The Dallthrach lineage of Dragonborn's dates back to the age of Draconians, where the first Dallthrach and their Draconian brother, seperated at birth, would spark the dawn of a new era of Dragonborn. The Dallthrach were a civilization of Dragon kind and kin that ruled vast swaths of land that rivaled all other kingdoms the Realm over. They were respected for their honor, diligence, wisdom, and strength against all odds. It wasn't until a malevolent God stole the Dallthrach's vision, sealing their great all seeing eyes, that led to their races destruction. As eon's continued on, all but one Dragon remained, the rest hunted and killed by their enemies. The Last Dallthrach in their final moments, created 3 eggs to continue the Dallthrach blood line, 2 eggs were to be Dragonborn brothers that would rebuild their great Kingdom, and the 3rd would be a Kobold, who was to be their chronicler. These days, their bloodline can be found through rare instances, recognized by their Black Sclera's, White Pupils, and like the Dragonborns of Draconia in Wildemount, they shared tails like their Dragonic ancestors. A trait carried over from their heritage.
