Homebrew Dragonkind Species Details
Generations ago, people lived among dragons in peace. Some were even able to befriend them and were granted the gift of a dragon. Learning the ways of the dragon, these humans were able to harness the power and become dragonkind. This was also the era of the Dragonborns. As time went on, the humans eventually turned on the dragons that once helped them and gave them their power. After hearing about their kins demise, the Dragonborns grew hatred towards these dragonkind. Thus, a feud erupted between the races and peace has never been spoken between them.
