Draconians are a mutant race of dragonborn-like creatures born from infernal energies (harvested and perfected by Tiamat during her time as archfiend of Avernus) being used on Kiston to imbue pipped (unborn) dragon eggs with new life.
The Draconians most famously were used as soldiers in The War of Many Names upon Tiamat's return to the realm, where she deployed them generously across Kiston but also to all corners of the realm.
About
There are several benefits to using Draconians as opposed to something like Dragon Spawn:
- Follow orders incredibly well.
- Not frightened by dragon's natural presence.
- When they die, they give spectacular explosive deaths as part of the "unborn" process.
As a result, Draconians were often reserved for armies that follow Tiamat directly, as opposed to any armies assigned to lesser dragons, who were instead typically given Dragon Spawn.
