In the players handbook Dragonborn are a scattered people.
What if they were native to an area and had a 1000 year old nation of their very own? That is a lot of time for culture and history to develop.
My first thought is Draconian is the native language and civilized Kobolds would also be citizens. Bahamut and Tiamat temples would be there as well representing the ying and yang of life.
Dragons might visit but would not stay there, uncomfortable with either the attention or the lack of obedience from their distant kin.
likely in the distant past they were conquerors with a slave run economy. I would see them as traders today. They would sail the seas with great ships. many cities would have draconian quarters originally started as trading communities, but now acting as good citizens in their new homelands.
But what would you see as unique to draconian culture?
Communal sulfur baths?
Kobold science labs?
Gelatinous Cube dips? The cubes are chemically reduced to a liquid consistency, you only take 1D4 acid damage but a scaly hide enjoys a deep cleansing.
Magic items that increase the potency of their breath weapons with leveling. 3D6 to 4D6, to 5D6 and so on...
~~or that could be a racial feat.
Please brainstorm with me. What would a thousand years of national status produce in a Draconian culture?
