Dragonborn are a race of wandering mercenaries, soldiers, and adventurers. Long ago they established the Empire of Arkosia, but that empire was destroyed during a world spanning conflict with the Tiefling empire of Bael Turath. Now the live in clans of honorable warriors scattered throughout the known world.
A dragonborn's honor is the most important factor in his life. Even bitter enemies must be treated with courtesy and respect. Although they do admire caution and discretion as virtues that help a warrior survive, cowerdice and fear are considered moral failings and diseases. A dragonborn will never break his word and any commitment will be completed to the letter.
