Triaxus-Trained Social : You have been trained in intricate dragon-handling techniques that originated on Triaxus. Varisia, Korvosa Pseudodragon-like house drakes wage war against imps in the skies above the city of Korvosa.

Sometimes, this seemingly endless conflict makes its way down to the streets below. The people of Korvosa are long inured to fending off wayward and excitable house drakes, experience which also makes them more knowledgeable about dragonkind in general. Beyond the benefits of this trait, Korvosans often have strong feelings about house drakes and similar creatures, either positive or negative. Legacy of Faith Dragons enjoy the servitude and worship of others, and given their origins as once-divine beings, such subservience seems only natural to most of dragonkind.

Dozens of cults and sects venerate individual dragons as beings of great power; some fanatical groups even consider certain dragons to be gods. Yet in proper classification, the only true dragon gods worshiped on Golarion are Apsu and Dahak.

However, when mortals gaze upon a great wyrm in the flesh, they are often inspired to a degree of immediate reverence that the intangible forms of other deities rarely elicit. While the worship of true dragon deities is relatively uncommon in the Inner Sea, there are places elsewhere on Golarion where draconic faiths are far more common. Even among oracles serving philosophies or other gods, many seek to emulate the sagacity and poise of imperial dragons, and are empowered by the draconic connection between those true dragons and the destiny of Tian Xia itself.

ORACLE CURSE Many stories told about dragons focus on their treasure hoards and the fierce pride with which even the smallest and least significant of draconic kin protect their collections, not to mention the dangers of challenging true dragons for their wealth. The greed of dragons is legendary, and holds true even for dragons who seek to promote justice and enlightenment. It is more than a personality trait for these dragons, existing as a core facet of their primal essence.

In most parts of Golarion, including the Inner Sea region, dragons rarely deal with major civilizations, and are more likely to be found in stretches of wilderness or remote locations secure from prying eyes.

Dragons who do directly interact mostly do so in the form of attacks, ranging from raids to free slaves to the devastation of entire cities or kingdoms out of sheer spite. This isnt to say that dragons never aid lesser creatures, but when such help is given, it is almost always on a personal level.

However, this is not the case in Tian Xia, where the imperial dragons who are bound to the balance of nature and civilization do not avoid humanity, but serve as rulers, advisors, and gods. The power inherent in draconic blood is not always recognized for its true nature. Extraordinary strength, great charisma, preternatural wisdom, and supernatural abilities of all sorts can be explained away by any number of other phenomenon.

Oftentimes, the expression of draconic influence on a characters ancestry many generations removed goes unidentified. The tendency of draconic power to skip one or more generations between manifestations can further confuse efforts to understand the source of unusual abilities.

People living in rural communities without access to arcane knowledge may never know why a farmers daughter has such tremendous strength, or it may interpreted as a divine gift or quirk of chance. Only in the most overt cases, where a scions body is physically transformed with draconic features, is the influence easily identifiable to the uninitiated.

Examples of these expressions and how certain dragons interact with the races of the Inner Sea region are found below. These traits can be selected in place of specific racial traits, but their racial point RP values are also listed for campaigns using the race builder rules from Pathfinder RPG Advanced Race Guide.

Dragon Magic 3 RP : Some elves have potent draconic blood. Elves with this racial trait who take a draconic bloodline as a class feature treat their Charisma scores as 2 points higher when determining the DC and uses per day of all bloodline abilities and bloodline spells.

Dwarf Following the Quest for Sky, many of the fledgling dwarven Sky Citadels were forced into confrontation with territorial chromatic dragons, which their descendants still remember. Dwarves do respect gold and silver dragons because of their generally lawful and good outlooks, but usually have little interaction beyond mutualif distantesteem.

However, legends claim the Mbeke dwarves of the Mwangi Expanse have strong relationships with the primal cloud dragons that live in the ranges around their fabled sky citadel. Treasure Sense 2 RP : Some dwarves have learned to sense the presence of material wealth with dragonlike precision.

This ability functions as scent, except it can detect only precious metals copper, silver, and gold and creatures primarily made of such materials.

This trait replaces stability and stonecutting. Elf Elves tend to attract the attention of green dragons, especially in forested regions of the world such as Kyonin, where they skirmish over woodland territory and ruined elven cities.

Closer to the Crown of the World, Snowcaster elves are constantly on the lookout for dangerous clutches of white dragons or cruel linnorms. Draconic Consular 2 RP : Elves serving in the company of dragons are trained to assist and represent their draconic allies. This racial trait replaces keen senses. Gnome Gnomes enjoy the company of dragons who appreciate their love of the natural world and magic.

Bronze dragons, faerie dragons, and pseudodragons are all often allies of gnomes and are common sources of draconic power in gnome bloodlines. However, not all gnome interactions with dragons are beneficial ones.

A community of gnomes living deep below the city of Goka in Tian Xia is rumored to have been enslaved by a ruthless underworld dragon for generations, working off a centuries-old debt to the ancient and cantankerous creature. Faerie Dragon Magic 2 RP : Some gnomes ally with capricious faerie dragons or share a supernatural kinship with these enigmatic creatures.

Gnomes with this trait add 1 to the DCs of saves against the illusion spells they cast.

The caster level for these effects is equal to the gnomes character level. This trait replaces gnome magic.

Halfling Copper dragons, with their whimsical nature and appreciation for humor and pranks, often find common ground with halflings and occasionally work to liberate halfling slaves in various nations around the Inner Sea.

This effect lasts for 1 hour. This trait replaces lucky. Half-Elf Straddling the divide between the worlds of elves and humans, half-elves often find themselves influenced by both elven and human histories with dragons. In Tian Xia, half-elves are often used as diplomats by imperial dragons, especially sovereign dragons operating in Amanandar, Quain, and Shokuro. Dragon Soul 4 RP : Some half-elves have forsaken a part of their lineage by embracing a more distant connection to dragons.

Half-elves with this trait choose to count as either elves or humans for any effect regarding race. This trait replaces adaptability, elf blood, and elven immunities. This trait replaces orc ferocity. Human Human history is rife with draconic interaction, from imperial dragon leaders in Tian Xia to the ravages of chromatic dragons in western Taldor.

Humans who express draconic power in their bloodline are most likely to come from the Dragon Empires of Tian Xia. Draconic Heritage 4 RP : At times, a humans family history can have a dragons power bound to the bloodline. Humans with this trait gain darkvision with a range of 10 feet and low-light vision.

This replaces the bonus skill rank humans receive at each level. Dragon Scholar 4 RP : Dragons have a long history of individual interactions with specific humans, and some humans seek to better understand this relationship. This trait replaces humans bonus feat racial trait. Half-Orc Most half-orcs know the bloody history that their orc lineage has in regard to dragons.

From the conquests of Kazavon centuries ago to brutal attacks by red and blue dragons throughout the Kodar Mountains, most half-orcs have an unkind view of dragons.

Silver dragons like Terendelev of Mendev offer an aspiration toward something greater, suggesting that even a half-orc can be more than a bastard of both worlds.

Dragon Sight 2 RP : Half-orcs with this trait gain some of the keen senses of dragonkind. They have darkvision with a range of feet. This replaces darkvision and intimidating. Dragon Slayer 2 RP : Some half-orcs train to defend their kind against dragons that would take advantage of or enslave them. Learned Legacies Throughout Golarion, humanoid races have admired the grace, might, and eldritch power of dragons.

Others are downright wicked, oozing malice and evil, leaving the hero of the story no option but to engage the spiteful, fire-breathing, beast in battle.

Our heroes always sally forth wilfully, but cautiously, engaging these ancient creatures to save a damsel in distress, or to save families, from what seems to be sure destruction. These tales have been drawn from eighteen old and forgotten books and the thirty-three illustrations are by different artists bringing styles that are as different as the stories themselves. What would you be willing to sacrifice for a chance to live…and love…forever?
