Dracanid

Physical Attributes
Dracanids are monstrous humanoids, averaging 7 ' 6'', 330 pounds, with widely varied builds. They have silver, gold, bronze, blue, or gray scales with small reptilian eyes. Some have tails, bone spikes, wings, and neck frills, but these features are not universal. Dracanids are Divine creatures that were never intended to reproduce, and thus do not have gender or sexual characteristics.

Culture and Religion
Dracanids are manifestations of divine power, given form by the Sacred Five to serve a specific purpose: the removal of the fledgling chaos god that intends to destroy Raya. Their culture and religion are highly influenced by these facts.

The Sacred Five, and thus the dracanids, are fundamentally beings of law and order. However, the darcanids were required to manifest some degree of chaos energy to exist on Raya - an imperfection that has grated on many of them for their entire lives. The extreme slant toward law and order has made dracanids hierarchical by nature with an strong respect for authority. They believe that there is a firm ordering to the universe with dracanids only beneath the gods themselves.

Most dracanids hold the Sacred Five in great reverence, and actively spread their worship and ideals at every opportunity, going so far as to model the governance of the Empire after the perceived ideal order of the Sacred Five.

History
The dracanids are a divine race created by the Sacred Five to destroy the Chaos god that was summoned by the aboleths to destroy Raya. The arrival of the 10,000 dracanids marks the end of the Time of Myth, and began recorded history. Upon arrival it was agreed that General Carnafrax was the greatest draconid, and that his plan should be followed. He chose to lead 9,000 of his kind into the chaos scar to kill the fledgling god, while the remaining 1,000 prevented its escape. The attack lead to disaster, only 218 of the 9000 survived while the growth of the god was merely slowed. The surviving 1218 agreed that their only hope to achieve their goal was to recruit local mortal races to assist them in containing and eventually breaching the chaos scar. This lead to the founding of the Empire in ID 0.
