Dragonborn Paladin/Warlock (Soldier)

[CHARACTER SHEET]

Arrakas is the son of Erafras, a Dragonborn clan leader that rebelled against the human noble lord that ruled over the lands occupied by Arrakas’ father.

The human Lord took in Arrakas as a ward, as to protect his people against a new rebellion. During this time Arrakas was raised as one of his own sons and trained and taught as if Arrakas was a human noble child. During his teens, Arrakas was sent to a Paladin Order to squire for the Paladin Knights together with the Lord’s son, Devin. Arrakas was allowed to keep praying to his own gods, the Ancient Dragon Spirits of his forefathers, as long as he kept fighting for the peace and light in the world.

They quickly caught the attention of the Paladins and rose in rank quite early for their age. They were part of a unit in charge of patrolling the borders and gained experience fighting cultists, necromancers and other evil creatures.

It was not long before they both gained ranks, quickly rising to officer rank. When word reached Erafras, he sent word to Arrakas that he was no longer welcome in his clan, as he had become a human lapdog and the clan would no longer accept him as one of their own.

Arrakas regretted his father’s decision, but had gained a new family in his brother Devin & his Holy Order.

During a mission that seemed quite routine, Arrakas’s unit was wiped out entirely by a huge white dragon, and Devin was brutally ripped apart by drakes commanded by Dragon Cultists. In his dying moments, Arrakas heard a booming voice in Draconic speak to him: "Try harder little dragonling. You swore an oath to me, you try to act like us, but clearly that's not enough to keep you out of your grave. No, you need to be like us. Now get up, and taste our true power."

It was at this time that Arrakas realized he had been chosen to be patronized by the Ancient Dragon Spirits and he would receive powers from them unknown to others in this world.

He now seeks out the Dragon Cultists actively, not only by order of his Paladin Commander, but also driven by the Spirits, demanding that he clears their threat.
