DnD Species: Dragonborn!

In this episode of Roll for Lore, we explore the proud and powerful world of the dragonborn, one of Dungeons & Dragons’ most striking playable species. Born with the blood of dragons and shaped by ancient oaths and clan traditions, dragonborn embody themes of honor, discipline, and destiny. We trace their real-world inspirations, their introduction in 4th Edition, and how they found a permanent home in modern D&D as a species tied to legendary dragons, draconic gods, and elemental power. From chromatic and metallic lineage to the unique breath weapons and cultural codes that define their clans, this episode uncovers what makes dragonborn such compelling heroes—and fearsome foes—in the worlds of D&D. Whether you’re building your first dragonborn character or diving deeper into their lore, this episode is all about embracing your inner drake.
