**Race: DralKull**   **Lore:**   The DralKull, known as DragonKin, are a unique race of humanoid beings with a deep connection to dragons. Their history is rooted in a tale of a dragon who sought to leave the lofty realms of the skies and immerse itself in the world of mortals. This dragon, named Dralkor the Wise, made a fateful decision to sever its own wings, relinquishing its ability to fly. Dralkor believed that true wisdom could only be gained through understanding the world from the ground, where mortal beings resided.   As Dralkor's wings fell to the earth, they shattered and gave birth to the first DralKull. These beings resembled a fusion of humanoid and crocodile-like features, with tough, scaled skin and powerful builds. Dralkor shared his ancient knowledge with the newly-formed DralKull, teaching them the importance of wisdom, honor, and the duty to protect those who couldn't protect themselves.   The DralKull embraced their role as protectors, becoming strategic masters in the art of heavy armor and combat. They developed a deep respect for history and the ways of the Divination Apostles, a monk subclass. These monks followed the path of Dralkor, combining their martial expertise with ancient knowledge, ensuring the safety and prosperity of their people.   **Physical Characteristics:** DralKull are bulky, with strong, muscular bodies covered in rugged, thick scales that range in color from earthy browns to deep greens.
