While many might confuse a Wyrmkin for just another kind of Beast, a close observer of their differences will realize they are something else entirely. Wyrmkin of all colors and varieties work together in the same clans with no clear hierarchy based on their type. Due to their tough scales, these creatures are good at resisting the attacks of others. This work along side their natural aggressiveness to give them a strong edge in combat. Of all the races of Vesperian, these are the most likely to pick a fight.
Members of this race claim to be descended from "Great Wyrms" (or Dragons as we know them). Many of them do indeed appear dragon-like, lending support to this claim. Others more closely resemble a common lizard which is cause for speculation among scholars as to whether there is truth in dragons being the originators of this race or if it is more of a convenient coincidence that they cling to.
In either case, members of the Wyrmkin race tend to be very proud and demand to be respected. They are often treated as they expect due to their great strength and magical prowess. Many great warriors, mages, and alchemists are born to the Wyrmkin peoples. If their tribes weren't so standoffish toward one another, they might band together to become a powerful nation indeed!
