Also, people to imagine how characters would look like, and having some clues on how to differentiate an imagined Dragonborn woman and a Dragonborn man in your imagination is also nice. In a world where Dragonborn, Orcs, Lizardfolk and spellcasters exist, it is quite possible to imagine people not to run screaming just because they see a Dragonborn. It is not our world. Maybe that's too cosmopolitan for a fantasy world? Maybe you're right. But then, even Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes and Halflings are to cosmopolitan already. With Dragonborn (and Tiefling), you can no longer hide this fact. But it makes sense - the implied setting is not just a fantasy world - it is a world with several large empires in its past, each spanning wide areas of the world and uniting people not only of different color, but also of different species. These empires lead to an "inter-mingling" that is probably unprecedented in our history (at least not in Europe - America might be in fact the first historical example for such a thing).</blockquote>
