General Raptorhead

Lore

This draconic race has a custom of generational shifts through trial by combat. Each Raptor has the right to challenge another once per lifetime, when the race's coming of age ceremony is held. Those who defeat high-ranking elders gain roles as leaders, but also become targets for the next generation. Winning additional trials and rising to the race's highest rank wins one the right to approach the monoliths more closely than others. Given the race's veneration of the monoliths as divine manifestations, for them this is the highest honor attainable.
