Dragon Born
Created by the Dragon Lord Ormegandros, a male advanced greatwyrm prismatic dragon egoist/mindmage, as a way of outdoing tiamat’s draconians, the Dragon Born are the result of mixing dragon, humanoid, and occasionally giant bloodlines. Ormegandros started by creating his own, half-dragons (from other dragons of course), dragonspawn, draconians, and draconic creatures. He then organized breeding programs for specific roles, such as sneaks, brutes, commanders, mystics, and a rejects file that was allowed to breed at random in case a useful trait might arise. Energy, power, and drive, were bred for in all controlled categories.
Dragon Born eventually outgrew Ormegandros’s demiplanes, and decided that they needed to interact with the multiverses more. Ormegandros allowed his creations to explore the astral plane first. During a fierce war with the Gith’yanki the Dragon Born mastered their powers, and learned war from the meanest armies in existence.
After securing a massive sphere of the astral plane they began colonizing any plane without strong alignment traits. Many moved to Limbo. The constant mental exercise of just traveling, and the presence of Gith’zerai allies from their first war are attractive draws to the ambitious yet cautious Dragon Born. Others have begun traveling to material planes to interact with the dynamic humanoid, and near humanoid, populations.
In Eberron they are allied to the Seren of Argonessen, their arrival has alarmed many factions on Khoirvare since little is known of their origins in the civilized lands.
Dragon Born races work well together usually many races live in the same cities, providing each races specialty, and insights. The egg pits are well hidden within, and none but, the guardians, and eggs are permitted within.
Bantlings (young) are cared for by the guardians until, the age of 4 years, when they are returned to their parents. Training in every class, and profession is available , but Dragon Born are expected to excel. Dragon Born do not take npc levels, and any Dragon Born with racial HD is considered an untrained apprentice until they gain a PC or PrC level.

This slow moving creature is covered in a layer of thick heavy scales. Motes of energy hover around its mouth.
The blazing heart tribes are stout warriors, and mighty masters of elemental magic. They are powerful personalities with the endurance of dwarves, and the hide of a dragon. They live to increase their power, whether mental, physical, or magical. Blazing Hearts are drawn to their calling at a young age. Very few ever multiclass except for prestige classes that have a similar focus as their original class (barbarian to frenzied berserker for example).
Blazing Heart are gifted with the breath of their ancestors, but in a lesser form. Many Blazing Hearts master this ability with other training being a secondary consideration.
This Blazing Heart sorcerer started with these ability scores before racial adjustments: str 12, dex 13, con 14, int 10, wis 8, cha 15
Combat
Blazing Heart on their own are reckless, believing in their own power and focus to see them through. When working with more patient and cunning Dragon Born, the unique powers of the Blazing Heart take on a frightening new dimension. A Blazing Heart spell caster rains down death with spells from behind the lines of warriors. A single Blaze warrior’s endurance, and thick hide allows him to shrug of blows that would impress even the most crotchety of dwarves. Combined with their breath few living soldiers remain that can say they survived battle with a well led blazing Heart Squadron.
Breath Weapon (ex): Each Blazing heart has a breath weapon that takes the form of either a 60 ft line or a 30 ft cone, that deals 1d6 + 1d6 per meta-breath feat the Blazing Heart possesses, this breath deals either acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic damage. The shape and type of the Breath is set at character creation and cannot be changed afterward. The reflex DC for half damage is 10 + con modifier + 1/2 the Blazing Heart’s HD. This ability can be used 1/day + 1/day per two meta-breath feats the Blazing Heart possesses, but never more than once per 1d4 rounds. This example has a lightning cone for 2d6 damage 1/day with a DC of 13 (note: taking a meta-breath feat like recover breath that can be taken multiple times count as multiple feats)

Skills: Ghost masters gain free ranks in Knowledge (the plane) equal to 3+HD regardless of it being a class or cross class skill
