The Draekfon are a race of humanoid dragonfolk that inhabit and hail from the many areas of the land of Eeshgluviina, which is located in the southeastern hemisphere of World 2. They are said to be born from the destructive forces of Gaia, World 2's Earth.
Hatched from eggs within the womb of their mother and birthed into lava chambers deep within the core of volcanos, or in the center of violent storms, or even in the thick cold of icebergs, the Draekfon are born as dragons that when of a certain age go through a evolution-like metamorphosis into their more humanoid states that they are able to shift back and forth between.
The Draekfon are often known for their destruction, ferocity, and conquering during a chaotic event known as the War Of The Horizons, in which they waged a war against the 13 Horizons of World 2 after the assassination of a falsely accused ruler. Allied with the Huemanians, Htlialon, and Vklovan, they nearly conquered the world. For thousands upon thousands of years they've held a grudge towards the world. It is said that they shed so much blood during the war that even generations later they can still smell the blood of their enemies with disgust.
Revered by a vast majority of the word aside from the allies that aided them within the War of The Horizons, the Draekfon are rarely spotted far outside of their homeland unless it's to make trade with allies.
The Draekfon culture is often seen as barbaric by those who use the war to hold a grudge against them. However this is merely a prejudice view that has been pasted onto them over the years. The Draekfon are actually quite honorable as well as prideful, with their culture being one that thrives on the strong surviving and the weak perishing.

The Draekfon can be categorized into 5 existential ethnicities/tribes that inhabit Eeshgluviina.
The Draewiins are the Draekfon that are born within the volcanic lands known as Daghlafla(which roughly means "A land to bathe in melting earth" in their native tongue). They're usually characterized by their deep red to molten colored scales both in full on dragon and humanoid forms. Some of the more powerful Draewiins, such as the tribe leaders or Kingborns, bare magma-like cracks along their skin in their humanoid forms.
The Draenites are the Draekfon of the deathly cold arctic lands in the far north of Eeshgluviina. Unlike their kin, the Draenites are born naturally pale white or icy blue in comparison and are the only ones who's hair and eyebrow doesn't alter from the snow white that they are born with.
The only time that it does is when a Draenite isn't traditionally born within the frozen mountains of ice within the waters of their lands, which is shunned. The Draenite is made an outcast through a ritual in which their wings are clipped, and are not seen as a true Draenite but rather a homeless Draekfon of lower class until it is of age to request a fight to the death for a place among its people if it so desires. Afterwards, they are sent to travel throughout the world for 10 years to learn before they are truly accepted back home.
The Draefoons of the north are from severely windy mountains of Fuekonan. The Draefoons are the friendliest of the Draekfon race and are much more in tune with what their people call The Voices of Naturae. They are known to be much more free spirited than the others. Their known characteristics are how their wings slick and smooth their wings, tails, and scales are due to the climate that they've existed in for so long. Some even have fur opposed to scales or both. They are well adapted to the air, and are known to be some of the fastest flying Draekfons by far.
The Salmondrae are quite unique due to them being the only Draekfon that are unable to fly in the traditional Draekfon way due to their lack of wings. Not only this, but they are also the only Draekfon that lives within burrows. They inhabit the massive muddy and forested area in the southeast of Eeshgluviina known as the Burrowed Sky of Draekondor. The Salmondrae are the smallest in their dragon forms in comparison to the others, however their use of Dragonforce/ and earthly wisdom more than make up for it. They are the only ones of their kind capable of harnessing and conjuring the Blue Icarus, a devastatingly powerful blue fire unlike any magic or natural fire. Another thing that they are able to use is Naturae Earth, which is magic gifted to them by nature rather than magic that manipulates the earth.
The Merdraeks are deepsea Draekfon that traded the free skies and the rocky lands for the calm flow of the oceans and seas surrounding Eeshgluviina. Much like the mermen/mermaid people, the Merdraeks have entire cities beneath the water that are surrounded by a large dome that absorbs oxygen so that travelers from far are able to enter. These are the calmest and most peaceful of the Draekfon.

Dragonforce - Heavily draekonian magic/draekomancy, the Dragonforce is the source in which Draekfon draw their power. Each Drakefon have a piece of this source embedded into their hearts, though the connection to the Dragonforce varies per individual. The power is said to have been forged by the burning core of Gaia in her days of anger towards the civilizations that called it home, which in turn created the first ever dragon. The Dragonforce is believed to be the forever burning heart of the first dragon in which the Draekfon worship.
Draekomancy - it is the capability of performing dragon-related magical feats, often either taught by a dragon, siphoning magic from a dragon, being magically linked with a dragon, or being a dragon. But it truly depicts magic that is exerted by dragons, since most dragons are described as magical creatures to their very bones.
Kingborn - The Kingborn are Draekfon who are born with an extraordinarily powerful connection to the Dragonforce, so much so that even within their humanoid forms they appear much more dragon. These Draekfon are born noticeably larger than average. These Draekfon are likely to be in line to rule their land by status alone.
Skinborn - The Skinborn is a derogatory name for the Draekfon who were born partially dragonoid instead of as dragons. They are unable to turn into dragons, only having access to a dragonoid form ironically similar to a Kingborn, but seen as ultimately inferior and recessive. They are of course born nearly the size of a human child but just slightly larger and with and patches of scales here and there on their bodies.
Flinsko - An offensive term used by the Drakefon that means "child with small existence" or "one that is insignificant".
Diggers - A racist and deregatory slur aimed towards the Salmondrae that they are likely to take heavy offense to.
Weem! - The proper initiation of a duel to settle differences among the Draekfon that involves a test of brute strength and ability.
Weemfoe! - A respectable battle to the death.
Droganhimmer - A word that means "An irrespectable, foolish, or underhanded person"
Tiefee! - An expression of joy or accomplishment
