Gurradon

The Guraddon race is a Draconic species, situated in the North-Western Islands of The Land.

Biologoy
Gurradons evolved from Reptillia, unlike Primal’s (Mammalia) and Karachna’s (Arachnid). Whereas other races and cultures primarily use movement and gesturing for actions such as mana manipulation, Gurradon’s instead use their powerful vocals to conjure spells. This gives Gurradon’s advantages over other race’s as the loss of a limb for a mage of any other race would massively hinder, or destroy their ability to cast spells.

Whilst Guraddon’s have the same rate of muscle growth as any other race, they are typically leaner, and have more prominent muscle definition due to cultural factors, such as diet and roles in society that need physical demand.

Culture
Gurradon’s are known to be big users of scaling; where a section of natural scales is removed and replaced with artificial scales of a distinct colour, or material; not dissimilar to tattooing. This method is used by garrison’s in place of armour, as it allows movement to be much freer.

Gurradon's are said to have some of the most beautiful singing voices in the known world due to their incredible vocal range. Because of this, Gurradons hold a monopoly on The Land' entertainment market, due to having, what is often considered the widest range of talent and performers (vocalists, musicians, actors, etc.)

This association with an incredible voice has translated into severity, as they much prefer Diplomatic, discussion, and agreement instead of force. This is obviously not unanimous, with there being factions preferring a more aggressive approach, such as the Silverhide.

Unique Abilities
These vocal skills have translated into Magical use as they are the only race who can cast magic through voice instead of hand gesture. Meaning they can be disarmed and still be capable casters, unlike other magi.
