[QUOTE="hopeless, post: 8309436, member: 36349"] For me there needs to be a reason for this. From what I can recall there was an ancient war that eventually caused the collapse of civilisation and generations later they are slowly rebuilding some rediscovering the truth behind certain legends. If I had to run this I would reveal the dragons seeking to avoid causing a famine devolved themselves into dragonborn in an effort to rebuild their Empire. This they have been successful, but the other races have also recovered encountering this Draconic Empire has caused some strife as both sides see the other as evil, although the truth is neither are they just have leaders who seek to dominate the other and its getting to the stage where they think it can only be done by destroying the other. There's a regular evil empire that worships Tiamat and they're responsible for much of the strife using the havoc to weaken both sides so they can eventually take over both. However just as there's evil gods there are also good gods and those who kept the balance over the intervening centuries. The Mage Towers are slowly growing in power gradually managing to recover the lost Art that was directly responsible for the cataclysm that collapsed civilisation and aren't likely to have learned from their mistake. And into this mix a rag tag group of heroes unaware of their true importance stumble into the plans of their would be conquerors and of course tell them to sod off! Sorry I'm having difficulty understanding why they don't just use the dragonborn instead of draconicans as I know they're very different but that was decades ago and this is 5e and there's no reason we can't adapt the setting with what we have already. Best wishes nonetheless. [/QUOTE]
