Rodhin, the city of the dragonborn

[Zeromaru X]

Wow! This is very cool Zeromaru! Thank you so much for sharing this with us on this very special day!

I have only had time for a quick read through, but I really like what you have done here. Adding Dragonborn to Blackmoor might be seen as controversial by some old schoolers, but this is very much in line with what Zeitgeist Games and Code Monkey Press were planning for Blackmoor 4E.

Well, as someone who started playing D&D in 4e, I thank them for that. It was a way to add my favorite D&D stuff to the first campaign world. And to entice my players to play it as well, as most of my friends only knew about the Realms or Dragonlance (thanks to the novels).

Now, we mostly play with 5e rules, but the dragonborn are still a thing in 5e.

Rodhin did appear on the preview maps that were released for Age of the Wolf and this has been identified as how they wanted to introduce the Dragonborn race into the setting. I like how you tied in the lore with the Dragon Gods for their backstory and connected Dragonia and its new relationship with this city.

The idea is there in the 4e Campaign guide. Is not much developed, just a paragraph saying that the dragonborn from a civilization to the south opened an embassy in Dragonia, and from there is that the dragonborn adventurers in 4e come from. I linked that to Rodhin, to give the city relevance in the campaign.

I have yet to develop how people in Blackmoor see them, but I like your Peshwah view of dragons. Following that idea, to the Peshwah, the dragonborn perhaps are like living gods or something like that.

I also like your ideas about the Dragonborn and their access to technology. This does seem to make them different from Dragonborn of other settings?

The technology stuff its unique to Blackmoor At least, in the Realms and in Nentir Vale, the dragonborn are more of using traditional medieval weapons.

Also, unlike the near atheists dragonborn of the Realms, my blackmoorian dragonborn are a deeply spiritual people. Their King... well, Queen currently, is basically the pope.

EDIT:
Now that Yaztromo point me out to this Zeitgeist setting, maybe I will give dragonborn mastery over smokepowder instead of steam stuff.
