Dragonkin

Paradoxically, Dragonkin are neither Dragons nor kin to them. Instead, they are servants of Dragons born of other races which under take a ritual to resemble their masters. For most of their ilk, this is a sought after boon and given as a reward for loyal service and great deeds, though at times, the ritual may be performed upon slaves or geased individuals who have little say over the subject matter. Dragonkin are long lived, drawing power their masters and aging very slowly. They also develop thick and scaled skin and the elemental blood and breath of their masters. This is the ultimate gift to an Immolator, but must be born with caution; Dragonkin severed from their patron will not live long if they survive the process at all.
