Lore

Dragonborn are a structured people. elemental-blooded, clan-bound, and trained from early life to treat power as something that must be shaped. They don't respect fury on its own. They respect control - because a Dragonborn who cannot master their breath, temper, or instincts is a danger to their own.

They emphasize Azirosh, framing faith through forge discipline, endurance, and war-readiness. Their rites tend to be physical and practical: forge-days, breath drills, long watches, and oath recitations spoken near heat or stonework. Even the calm ones treat training as respect.

Clans are usually built around lineage and element, with leadership earned through steadiness under pressure - protecting others, keeping vows, and holding form when instincts push toward excess. Their halls reflect that discipline: stone and crystal structures, vented chambers, cold rooms, training spaces designed to survive accidents, and stores meant for long seasons. Their cities aren't just homes; they're fortresses built for harsh environments and harsher mistakes.

Dragonborn typically judge outsiders by consistency. Flattery, easy promises, and attempts to provoke "a display" are all read as manipulation. Earn their respect by speaking plainly and keeping deals.
