Driftscale - Background

You exist separate from the dragonborn's traditional social structure, born to dragons living outside The Covenant. This divergence from tradition may attract scorn or admiration, branding your choices as unorthodox. Whether your dragon chose to voluntarily leave or was driven out due to unavoidable circumstances, you've embraced the existence of a wanderer upon leaving that life behind. Life outside The Covenant is laden with challenges and demands adaptability, with new cultures, laws, and customs presenting as a strange and confusing labyrinth.

You have a heightened awareness of dragon activity in your surroundings. This uncanny ability enables you to anticipate and prepare for potential encounters.
