Draconians

The Draconians are powerful, heavily armoured warriors of such might that they are unmatched by any mere mortal. Draconians are Immortals, and are slaves to the Fire Elementals.

Gameplay
Draconians are incredibly powerful, their plate is so thick that arrows and swords cannot pierce it. They are living, walking tanks more than a match for any mortal. Draconians are virtually unmatched in ground warfare, and crush any resistance given to them by mortal races.

Lore
The Draconians are a race enslaved by the Fire Elementals, during the Golden Age of the Imperium, a rogue Elemental began the first Elemental Invasion, in which the Draconians were used as his foot soldiers. It was during this time they took Talis, and brought about the slavery of the Lizardmen, who were later freed when the invasion ended. The Draconians were led by one of them named "Carnifex", who was larger than an Orcish Brute. Carnifex led the Draconians to victory at Talis, and at the bridge seperating New Avalon from the rest of its territory.

They were later banished when the invasion ended, but caused immense damage unrivaled by anything of that era. Traditional Imperial tactics were useless against them, as their plate was so thick mortal weapons had no effect. It took a large concentration of power just to bring down one Draconian, who often slew scores of mortals before they were banished. Draconians had Magi of their own, who used the power of flame to great effect. The Draconians are currently in the Elemental Plain of Fire, and will not likely return until the next Elemental Invasion.

Significant Members

 * Carnifex, a massive Draconian warlord who was present during the invasion. It is the only Draconian whose name is known by Imperial scholars, however it may be that its true name is something else. During battle, Carnifex spoke little, and appeared to have a limited grasp of the Common language. It often yelled out taunts to its enemies, and possibly simple commands.

Trivia
