Draekin

Draekin believe they are the saviors of the world. Like many of the species in the Black Coast, Draekin have another soul bonded to theirs. Imagine if a dragon were to stand and walk only on its hind legs, without wings but a long tail swishing behind it. This is a Draekin, They rival the Nords in height and size, standing between 6 and 7 feet tall and weighing between 300 and 400 pounds. Their scales are the shade of all the prime colors and some come in metallic varieties. Young Draekin are lighter colored and more vibrant, over time their colors dull and darken.

They say they get their form as the chosen children of their god, who they say is the greatest of all gods and has a connection to the sun, that if he were to ever perish the world would forever be dark. And this god is not an unknown entity off in the heavens, he lives here in the Black Coast. A series of caves in the volcanic hot rivers to the east are home the Draekin and their god rests in the depths.

The Draekin value strength, honor, and kindness. They carry themselves with pride and are often smug about their superiority to other species. These values lead Draekin to search for the strongest mate possible, tossing aside domestic values for strength in magic and combat. (only in breeding pairs, or just good to have a strong mate regardless of procreation?) Prized mates are often fought over, but rarely with deadly force. The Draekin return to their caves in the east to raise children. Draekin commonly travel and adventure for most of their lives, many learn to channel the holy power of their god, if they live through their expeditions long enough they become clergy of their god.
