Echelon Expansions: Draconic Bloodlines

Great-grandma was seduced by a dragon,

When she became the dragon’s reeve.

You might think there’s no such thing as dragons,

But as for me and my dad, we believe.

— The Wyrmish Rovers

While direct, if distant, descent from a dragon is a common explanation for a sorcerer’s draconic bloodline, others are possible.

• Long association with a particular dragon or line of dragons;
• Having been born under a Dragon Star, fated to be the champion of wyrms;
• An ancestor who was soaked in a dragon’s heartblood (or you were!); and
• A soul-wrenching rite of passage, bonding you to a draconic patron.

There are many ways to explain a draconic bloodline,and there are many types of dragon. Here are twenty-five bloodlines more specific to each type of dragon.

• Chromatic dragons, evil incarnate and masters of their domains.
• Metallic dragons, paragons of good and protectors of mortals.
• Primal dragons, manifesting the powers of nature.
• Imperial dragons, impartial judges and overseers of the land.
• Outer dragons, interplanetary and interstellar travelers.

Whatever your lineage, this book has you covered.
