Draconith
This page is needs images. Help plz. |
The Draconith are a race of relatively small but highly intelligent and social dragons native to the world of Warhammer: Age of Sigmar. Originating in Ghur, the Realm of Beasts, the Draconith are nonetheless a race naturally attuned to the concept of Order, to the point that they built up a great empire during the Age of Myth, united by worship of the celestial dragon-god Dracothion. Amongst their most notable achievements was shattering the power of the Dragon Ogors in a great war, thanks to their alliance with a powerful race of Ghur-dwelling centaurs called the Drogrukh. Yeah, things were pretty sweet for the Draconith... and then along came Kragnos and he fucked them over big time. Picking a fight with the Draconith empire for the sheer hell of it, Kragnos then totally lost it when the Draconith managed to kill his four best buddies, going on a one-centaur crusade of genocide that nearly wiped them out entirely; it took the personal intervention of Dracothion and Lord Kroak to stop him, and by that point, the Draconith were almost entirely gone.
But not entirely; a few isolated clans still lingered, and the Seraphon rescued a bunch of eggs and took them into safety aboard their star-ships.
In Soulbound
Draconith debut as a playable species with a single racial Archetype in Soulbound, courtesy of the "Era of the Beast" splatbook. Like Stormcast Eternals, Seraphon and Ossiarch Bonereapers, they can't become truly Soulbound, but are powerful enough that they can adventure alongside a Soulbound adventuring party on equal terms.
The big emphasis is on how the Draconith are new to this era of the world. They're highly inquisitive, because up until now they've either been living in the deepest wilderness or aboard a Seraphon starship, and totally clueless about human and demihuman social norms as a result. That said, the fact they look so much like the wide variety of horrible monsters found across the Realms means that trying to make a good impression is very important to them, which is why they tend to deck themselves out in Sigmarite iconography.
