Draco-Orcs are the native dragon race of the island of Kiston.
About
Some groups of Draco-Orcs had ceremonial drumming and chanting at noon as part of a "Highsun Ceremony" which was a sacrifice in the name of their queen: Tiamat. These ceremonies could be heard reverberating across the mountains of the island. Similar drumming could be heard when the Draco-Orcs would go out late at night in hunting parties. Some groups of Draco-Orcs had tamed and trained Wyverns on the island, to the point that Wyverns would call on command and could be ridden as mounts.
Some Draco-Orcs would hold feeding "ceremonies" with their Wyvern mounts, using prisoners and creatures taken from the Island and throw over the edge of a high cliff as a challenge for the Wyverns to chase and feast on. Often times several Wyverns would fight over the same creature, leading to grizzly "sky-funerals".
Draco-Orcs come in chromatic colors, as opposed to the ancient Metallic Dragonkin. They were described as having pig-like snouts on their faces, and warts on their scales. They are able to Snort, and have an enhanced sense of smell.
History
A group of Draco-Orcs scouted the southern beaches of Kiston and found the group of heroes later known as The Venship, after dragging them into the mountains, a vicious improvised battle led to the Draco-Orcs tossing at least two of the Venship off the cliffs, Alexias and Edgar La Croix.
It was later revealed that group of Draco-Orcs worked for Jatil Jivelg, a cruel black dragon. They had kidnapped a baby red dragon known as Presidith in an attempt to take power from the red wyrms of the island, but the baby was reverse-kidnapped by The Venship, saving its life.
