Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yaarel" data-source="post: 9488803" data-attributes="member: 58172">Regarding the Dragonborn species. The 2024 Players Handbook specifies their ancestors were created from Dragon eggs, by both Metallic and Chromatic. Apparently, those that do come from Gem eggs originate from a separate historical incident?(The magical engineering of Dragonborn may have happened with or without permission from Bahamut and Tiamat.)On the planet Oerth, the Dragonborn can have come into existence anywhere there is a civilization of both Metallic and Chromatic Dragons, a location where both have been coexisting with each other historically. Or perhaps while warring with each other, each used the same magical technology to create Dragonborn from their own eggs. The Dragons seem to specifically want to engineer Dragons with Human-like features. There is something about Humans that the Dragons find beneficial.There are places on Oerth where Dragons prevail, including Dragons Island. Such a place is where it makes sense for a Dragonborn civilization to historically originate.A description of the magical artifact, Orbs of Dragonkind, mentions there are (local) kingdoms of Red Dragons and Shadow Dragons in the Hellfurnaces mountainrange, referred to as the "Fiery Kings". But the origin of the Dragonborn implies an origin place where all species of Metallic and Chromatic are coexisting together. Again, Dragons Island can be this place, as it is reputed to be ruled by "Dragon Prince".(Interestingly, 2024 describes Dragonborn as a "wingless bipedal", meaning ambiguously some might retail their draconic feature of a very long tail and some might like tails.)</blockquote>
