Homebrew Drake-Elf / Nou'ara Species Details
Born of the union between an elf and a dragonborn, these strange creatures are exceedingly rare in most of Exandria, and have only become a common sight in Xhorhas in the recent years since the fall of Draconia. Since then, dragonborn have traveled far, many becoming consecuted to the Luxon, and have thus entered into relationships with drow. As such, they are known as Nou'ara in the Dynasty.
Nou'ara can have a wide range of appearances. Some appear to be fully draconic, whereas some others appear to be elven with only a few scales to give away their ancestry.
