Lizardmen

Lizardmen, also called Dragonborn, are the dominant sentient race in the lands of Zhor'Zahai. They are a sentient reptilian race, standing between 6-8ft when fully grown, depending on heritage. In mythology, they are descendents of the dragons and cousins to other Dragonkin (such as Wyverns).

Similar to the Wyverns, the lizardmen develop specific phenotypes based on their heritage, with their phenotype manifesting according to the elemental table.

Of the various heritages, the red and brown lizards are the most dominant. The large desert expanses of Zhor'Zahai are an idea environment for natural hardiness.

Members of the species are intrinsically linked to the primordial elements and magic, and thus present a very definite aptitude for magical ability within their inherited element (although usually little outside of this). Outside of their innate breath weapon, they will often demonstrate an aptitude for simple cantrips with no training, often mixing their magical aptitude with their other choice areas of expertise.

The Everlasting Empire
Lizardhood has become intrinsically connected to the Everlasting Empire, as the majority of all of the Dragonborn became unified under the empire centuries ago.

However, in the current era, very little lies outside of the empire's grasp and thus the question of what is part of lizardhood, and what is part of the empire has become a distinction that has lost much of it's meaning.
