Races -- Dragon Sired
Whether by ritual, accident, or genuine affection, the dragons of Ere occasionally sire children with demi humans. These children have both the strength and durability of their draconic parents and the capacity for adaptation and compassion of their humanoid parent.

Personality: Dragon sired beings are generally extremely self sure and have a very developed sense of entitlement. They retain their ancestor's desire to acquire and hoard treasure and are natural born leaders.

Physical Description: In their natural form, a dragon sired being has skin an hair darker than their humanoid brethren with patches of scales and stiff, spiny hair. Razor teeth gleam in their mouths, and dark talons curve from their hands and feet. A long tail extends behind them.

On average, they are a foot to a foot and a half taller and fifty to one hundred pounds heavier than their humanoid parents.

Relations: Dragon sired beings are deeply feared in most less civilized groups to the point of violence. Even in cities, they are likely to hide in their alternate form as much as possible. For their part, dragon sired beings feel they are above normal humanoids but do feel a connection with their base race.

Alignment: Dragon sired beings are rarely good regardless of their upbringing or heritage. The desire for power and wealth overrides mere altruism. Likewise, following rules that are not their own is something dragon sired beings disdain and thus they are rarely lawful.

Half Dragon Lands: While they control no homeland of their own, all dragon sired beings know that they will find comfort and understanding among the Dragon Cults in Taunaun.

Religion: Most dragon sired beings are dragon cultists, exploring the deific part of their heritage and reveling in it.

Language: Dragon sired beings speak draconic as well as any languages their humanoid parent speaks.

Names: Dragon sired beings have the naming conventions of whichever parent they are raised by, most often the humanoid.

Adventurers: The desire to make their own rules and seek wealth leads half dragons easily on the road to adventure. Often, they will form their own groups and forego guilds in favor of seeking out leads and clues to treasure on their own.
