Dragontouched

Hailing from the Terrabor Empire, the Dragontouched are the inheritors of a genetic lineage of mutation and exploitation. Previously created from the genetic stock of both human slaves and their draconic overlords to produce a more effective slave population, they have since clawed their way from servitude to supremacy. In overthrowing their masters, they had proven their mettle and have since utilized their draconic gifts as a justification for their noble status. There exists some debate as to whether the Dragonborn are a pure strain of the Dragontouched, though both lineages largely dismiss these claims.
