Dragonborn

The amethyst-scaled dragonborn rested her hands on the earth, feeling it thrum within her scales. As her eyes began to glow a deep purple, thorny vines broke out from the earth, snaring the Imperial soldiers intending to detain her. She giggled to herself, readying her stance for the battle ahead.

Dragonborn of Akronis

Dragonborn are not common among the other races of Akronis. They are descendants of mortal races touched by the influences of dragons, but these blessings are few and far between. Most dragon factions are reclusive, have settled far away from the continent of Karator, which is what allowed the Imperials to settle there without much threat. So those of society interacting with dragons, living to tell the tale, and receiving their blessing are very rare. And even still, most of the dragonborn don't leave where the dragons are, instead setting up communities within the habitats of their patrons.   However, some dragonborn descend from those that did return to society. Some dragonborn take residence in Imperial cities, living among polite society while still grappling with their draconic heritage. However they act, all dragonborn feel a deep connection to the earth and the arcane, most having a natural affinity to either or both due to the forces being of draconic heritage themselves.   Due to events in history, Dragonborn do not typically get along with Goliaths or other giant-related beings.
