Drakken

The Drakken are a race of sentient dragoniod humaniods from Endless Legends.

Characteristics
An ancient and venerable race, the scholars of the Drakken prize lore, history, and wisdom above all things.

History
The Drakken were a native species of semi-sapient dragons that inhabited the world of Auriga. They were uplifted by the Endless, and were regarded as one of the immortal race's most successful creations.

Thousands of years after the disappearance of the creators, the Drakken have become one of Auriga's most influential races.

The gradual onset of longer winters has not escaped the notice of this race who are more attuned to Auriga's rhythms than all the rest.

Already they have struck out across the vast planet forging ties with all who share Auriga's lands. They understand well that even if the cataclysm comes again, their first duty is to preserve what the Endless left behind, so that one day, maybe in a hundred years, maybe in a hundred thousand, their great teachers' creations will still endure.

Culture
Few in number but exceedingly powerful, they do not seek war but rather relationships, information, and knowledge. Faction histories, artifacts, and ruins are highly prized by the Drakken while wealth, military power, and advanced technology are viewed as insignificant.

Militarily they have limited numbers, and bring to battle very few but very powerful units.

They are masters of statecraft, this people can force Peace, Truce, or even an Alliance on other factions due to their wisdom, persuasion, and prestige. Hereditary keepers of Endless artifacts and knowledge, no other peoples are so adept at unearthing secrets and mysteries from ancient sites.
