Homebrew Drakkin Species Details

Drakkin or "Drake Kin" are an evolved species humanoid pertaining to Drakes. Though similar to dragonborn they are not related but in fact share some similarities primarily in uniquely elegant facial structures.

Drakkin live in Hierarchical societies predominantly in small communities and can adapt to survive in most climates quickly. Traditions of warriors, mages, and assassin's dominate the social structure of a Drakkin Collective. These are the higher Drakkin in social status known as "J'oudhan" or "accomplished" J'oudhani Drakkin typically adhere to the "K'urraahn" or "Anointed" ones, a circle of 4 heavily decorated J'oudhani, the K'urraahn run the day to day goings on of a Drakkin Collective.

A Drakkin that may find itself traveling out of it's collective voluntarily to seek a new life is known as a "Shaak-To" or "Destiny Forger" there are other ways for a Drakkin to leave it's collective these are known as "Urrukhaii-Lok" or "Dishonored One" where a Drakkin is banished for reasons deemed too severe to allow punishment within the collective. These Drakkin must seek forgiveness by completing a trial known as "Arraas" "Redemption" a complex task more likely to get you killed than allow you to return (this is meant to be used in extreme circumstances). Traders are known as "Selesz'Juore" "sweet Tongue". And others.

The Spoken Drakkin language is a dialect of Draconic with personalized scripts.

Drakkin are open and cooperative with other races but remain entirely isolated from others in case of unforseen circumstances involving war between them as the Drakkin are too small in number to participate in such events.

Drakkin carry themselves in high esteem and regard themselves as higher than other races due to their heritage involving intellectual or martial prowess sometimes both And loath to refuse a challenge, prideful by nature the Drakkin are extremely tough personalities and embrace perfectionist ideals within reason. 

Drakkin often have long eccentric names in their native draconic script if they hail from a collective, they may also choose a name they deem fitting but will always be hailed by their collective name by other Drakkin.
