Dragonkin

Dragonkin are humanoid-looking Dragons that fall somewhere on the spectrum between true dragons and drakes or wyverns in both power and intelligence. Native to Triaxus, they are capable of forming a permanent bond with a partner, a deep and meaningful connection that only ends with death.

History

In the Skyfire Mandate, a region of Triaxus that connected the Ryphorian-controlled Allied Territories and the true dragon-held Drakelands, some dragonkin historically bonded as mounts with ryphorian riders into battle in formation with powerful dragon allies. As spaceflight was developed and the territorial wars became moot, particularly after The Gap and upon the signing of the Absalom Pact, active ryphorian-dragon hostilities ceased. In the wake of this truce, most dragonkin and their riders repurposed themselves as the Skyfire Legion, a mercenary league that protects innocent colony worlds that are beyond the reach of the Pact's laws, with the rest taking to the stars independently.
