Dragonborn of Bahamut

The Dragonborn of Bahamut are a race of draconic creatures created by the deity Bahamut during the Time of Dragons. They are creatures reborn from good-aligned humanoids who, to show devotion to Bahamut, willingly took on draconic traits in place of their original biology.

The Rite of Rebirth
Rarely, members of the humanoid races may hear the call of Bahamut, asking them if they want to devote themselves completely to Bahamut. Normally it is first heard before adolescence, but sometimes adults hear it as well. Not all those who are called answer, but those who do may undergo the Rite of Rebirth. Those who commit to this demanding ritual meditate for a full day and night, their head filled with reminders of all they are giving up. If they elect to go on, they then enter an egg-shaped chamber at dawn and sleep until dawn the next day, emerging as a dragonborn, ready to become a permanent champion against Tiamat and her spawn.

Traits
Bahamut gives his adoptive sons the best traits of the Metallic Dragons, but not all dragonborn born with the same abilities. Some born with the aspect of Heart, wich develops a dragon breath; other born with the aspect of Wings, wich gives him or her draconic wings and the ability to fly; and other are blessed with the aspect of Mind, wich sharpens their senses of a dragonborn and gives him or her with the immunity to sleep and paralizys.

Like other draconic cretures, dragonborn of Bahamut are long-lived. The oldest of them lives up to 400 years.

History
The Parwiccan Cycle speaks of dragonborn knights that existed long ago, in the long-forgotten Time of Dragons, loyal warriors of the Platinum Dragon in the Dragonfall War. Hovewer, the race disappeared and only reappeared again in the Present Age, when humanoids loyal to Bahamut undergo the Rite of Rebirth.

The Platinum Cadre of Tymanther has the theory that the dragonborn are the ancient creations of the Platinum Dragon, but is unknown if the abeiran dragonborn are related in some form with the adoptive sons of Bahamut.
