 The [[Aydahar]] are a strain of humans infected with the "seed" of [[Dragon]]s.  An [[Aydahar]] comes into this world through the union of a [[Dragon]] and a humanoid strain, or by the union of two [[Aydahar]].  Outside of their appearance, [[Aydaha]]r life is essentially the same as that of the remainder of humanity.
-The [[Aydahar]] territory, the country of [[Altinqor]], is the homeland of most of the [[Dragon]]s of [[Otan]] and for good reason.  [[Dragon]]s, who are normally quite aggressive toward anything but other Dragons, share a symbiosis with the [[Aydahar]].  As repayment for their kindness and protection, the [[Aydahar]] are often seen in service of [[Dragon]]s, cleaning their nests and tending to their various needs.

 In other regards, the [[Aydahar]] conduct themselves as everyone else.  They seek power.  They often seek adventure and they are more than willing to leave their home country if adventure calls.
 ==Physical Characteristics==
-[[Aydahar]] physiology is surprisingly similar to humans.  Despite their reptilian appearance, they are mammalian.  Females produce milk after pregnancy and their ovulation and gestation periods are also identical to Humans.   After birth, however, changes rapidly begin.  Human-looking babies begin to develop elongated jawlines and the snout, typical of all Aydhar.

 As the Aydahar age, their skin develops scales, much as humans develop hair.  Their heads, rather than a coif of hair tend to produce a distinct pair of horns, though they may produce as many as a dozen horns.  It is still possible for them to sprout human hair, and females in particular pride themselves in the ability to grow long locks if it is possible for them.
-[[Aydahar]] hands and feet also undergo a significant translation, particularly the feet which take on a nearly talon-like form.  Their hands bear claws far more substantial in density than Human fingernails.

-Lastly, the Aydahar can grow tails and in rarer cases wings.  The latter two mutations undoubtedly constructed entirely from the "dragon seed" can become quite advanced.  The tails can become prehensile, with the ability to carry items and even wield weapons.  The wings, fully formed will enable the Aydahar to fly, given the proper training.

 ==Natural and Latent Abilities==
-Aydahar naturally grow scales in the place of hair giving them a slight advantage to damage resistance.  This resistance may be extended for certain types of damage depending on the type of Aydahar.  A Koke Aydahar, for example, might have enhanced resistance to electrical damage.

 [[Aydahar]] share their own unique language.  To the uninitiated, the [[Aydahari language]] sounds like a pack of hungry dogs eating, but to the trained ear, the Aydahari language has grammar and inflections that are not too distant from the common Otani tongue.
-Like other humanoids, the [[Aydahar]] are diurnal, though they can adapt to a nocturnal schedule without any trouble as they must do for their most notable cultural similarity.  All six varieties of Aydahar tend to their draconic progenitors. [[Dragon]]s living with or near Aydahar will have their lairs serviced and cleaned by Aydhar of their type.

-In addition to the standard [[Aydahar]] traits, the [[Kara Aydahar]] have a close relationship with stone, particularly the stone that provides them with their color.  Their bodies contain an organ enabling them to excrete stone, acquired from their digestive systems to their outer scales.  This innate ability can make the [[Kara Aydahar]] naturally resistant to acid, slashing, and piercing weapon attacks.
+The [[Kara Aydahar]] are sometimes referred to as Black Aydahar or Rock Aydahar because of their relationship with [[Rock Dragon]]s. Like [[Rock Dragon]]s, a [[Kara Aydahar]] individual may end up the color of any rock found in nature, but the ancient word for black, "kara" stuck with them.
