The Y'azi Dragonborn are a unique and proud lineage, tracing their origins back to the twin draconic gods Fujin & Raijin. Unlike their Dragonborn counterparts, who bear the descended appearances of lesser dragons, Y'azi Dragonborn possess a more varied and exotic appearance, reflecting their divine heritage from the gods of wind and thunder (see: Unknown). Their scales, often smooth and soft, come in a wide array of colors and patterns, ranging from delicate pastels to deep, vibrant hues. It’s said that each Y'azi Dragonborn's scales carry the essence of the elements, a tribute to the draconic deities they descend from.
One of the most striking differences between the Y'azi and traditional Dragonborn is the former's ornate and elaborate features. Y'azi Dragonborn may have elaborate horns that resemble antlers or rigid fins, whiskers that dance in the wind, and tails that often bear fur or graceful fins. These features, which vary greatly from individual to individual, are a direct manifestation of their divine ancestry, making each Y'azi Dragonborn distinct in appearance. It is extremely rare to find two Y'azi Dragonborn who look alike, as their features are as diverse as the elements themselves.
These Dragonborn are known for their connection to the natural elements, a gift from Fujin and Raijin, which grants them an inherent wisdom and deep understanding of the world around them. While their breath attacks are more limited in comparison to their Western kin, they possess an affinity for the elemental forces of wind and lightning, often displaying an innate ability to harness and control these forces with great precision.
Culturally, the Y'azi Dragonborn are a people of honor and tradition, with a deep respect for their ancestors and the natural world. They are often seen as curious yet wise, their lives guided by the principles and teachings of their draconic gods. Despite their differences in appearance, they carry themselves with dignity and pride, their varied features a testament to the rich and divine heritage they embody.
In the Y’azi Peninsula, where these Dragonborn are most commonly found, they play pivotal roles in society, from being revered martial artists and scholars to skilled artisans and leaders. Their legacy as the descendants of Fujin and Raijin is evident in every aspect of their culture, as they continue to honor the elements and the gods from whom they descend.
