Drakkan are dragonkin native to the world of Uluthana, mostly found in the lands controlled by the Drakkan Empire. According to their knowledge, they were created in the distant past by the direct intervention of their pantheon, the Triumvirate, and their potent magical abilities are also attributed to this divine intervention.

The same magical abilities and how well they are attuned to the ambient world's heart emanation also reflect in how magic shapes their bodies, with the first axis being how "draconic" they appear, while the second axis would have to do with their affinity for a particular type of elemental magic or several of them.

The magical—or unnatural, as some would say—way drakkan came to be also reflects in several of their unique traits having to do with their means of reproduction, connection with Uluthanian wild life, and their blood memory.
