History:
Sauronmatians are known as humans with dragon blood, in day to day life they don't require to mask their "true" appearance. Within 2 to 3 centuries of existence, they extinguished majority of Dragons except Lungs who supported them. Sauronmatians were nomadic and occasionally mercenary group of Iranic origin, based in Eurasian steppe. The founder Arshaka was great hunter, his strength and cunning helped him with catching big game and monsters which required group of man to kill. His distinctive traits were easygoing manner and trouble-making along the way, not exactly wise king material mind you.
There were rumors of terrible lizard terrorizing the region, the tribe was about to ignore it if not for the fact that it was near them. So they sent some warriors, though none returned. One day Arshaka was dared during drinking sessions, that remark initially was a joke knowing rowdiness. He did
accept it and by the end of next day he had killed the Dragon alone. Due to his feat, various other tribes joined under the banner of his tribe and since then Sauronmatian clan was born.
Arshaka then killed Dragon king and feasted with his close kin who later were called Unchained, due to their increased power and cravings compared to other clan members. Few centuries later cannibalism and blood drinking amongst Draconians was forbidden, as people lost their minds in pursuit of power; becoming blood-lusted fiends. It got so bad that immature unchained were forbidden to stay near wounded compatriots(especially when they were in their wicked cycle.) This rule is in use since that period. Those branches which followed that practice were hunted and killed, with remains cremated while their names were erased from history. Sauronmatians were powerful clan, one of 3 human clans in fact while they warred amongst each other. The only thing they disliked more were monsters. Those three clans were reasons why many of ancient and prominent clans, disappeared from the face of earth, which earned infamy them amongst the monsters.
Draconian kings were feared for their power especially since Artaxerxes I possessed control over 4 elements, not even golden eyed Daeva was capable of matching such feat despite their expert mana control.
The clan has been disbanded in 5th century AD due to invasion from other clans, few had survived by migrating and keeping their memory alive. It took centuries until clan finally ressurfaced in XIX cent.
Traits:
Mana resistance: Sauronmatians show high degree of resistance when it comes to magic, decreasing its potency albeit not nullifying the effects. When it comes to their own element, they are immune to it. It's mostly shown when scales are manifested though it also works passively. Individuals with special sight can notice microscopic waves which muffle any energy that comes in contact. Innate mana resistance gives them 20% spell resistance.
Dragon Scales: Beyond giving the mana resistance, the scales also improve defenses of the Draconian. Some are harder than diamonds being able only to be crushed by localized enormous penetrative force while others can give out with strong blunt damage. Nonetheless they are excellent protection against bladed weapons and only few can deal damage either through their sharpness or magical effect.
Keen senses: All their senses are three times more acute, they can more or less decrease their sensitivity to stimulus.
Venom resistance: Due to their dragon blood and upbringing they are highly immune to venom.
Strong body and mana reserves: While Daeva have bigger mana reserves and Asura have stronger bodies than they have, Sauronmatians have above average vitality and mana reserves when compared to other creatures.
