Dragonbloods Of Xa Hoi
Long ago, the warring factions of what would become the Tian Xia nation of Xa Hoi pledged their fealty to the area’s sovereign dragons in return for their protection . Since then, Xa Hoi has been ruled by those dragons’ descendants. The citizens are used to the sovereign dragon’s prevalence throughout the nation and consider physical evidence of the dragons’ influence in their offspring to be a desired blessing. Sorcerers with the draconic bloodline and dragonblood individuals are often held in high esteem and are expected to do great things.All Monsters in "Dragonblood"

Dragonblood
Source Monster Core 2 pg. 136When a dragon holds influence in a community, either by exerting their might or blending in and living among them, a child might be born that exhibits physical or mental aspects of that dragon. These offspring are known as dragonbloods and often have draconic features belying their heritage. Dragonbloods can be found among all ancestries, though many dragonbloods are either human or have some kind of extant dragon connection, such as kobolds who have a close association with a dragon.
A dragonblood typically possesses some physical feature that gives away their draconic nature. These can be subtle features such as elongated fingernails that resemble claws or unique eye coloration. For many dragonbloods, these features are more overt, taking the form of horns, draconic tails, wings, or patches of scales. In some cases, a dragonblood resembles a bipedal dragon outright, often leading to confusing them with other reptilian ancestries such as kobolds and lizardfolk. For dragonbloods who have no obvious features, there are still the occasional hints of their draconic influence, typically manifesting in times of overwhelming emotions, if only for a moment.
Dragonbloods can trace their connection to a specific type of dragon, commonly referred to as a draconic exemplar. The physical features and abilities of a dragonblood always match that of their draconic exemplar. A dragonblood whose exemplar is a cinder dragon, for example, will manifest crimson scales or the ability to breathe fire. A dragon's opinion of a related dragonblood can vary. Most dragons tend to look at dragonbloods with indifference. Benevolent and social dragons often find a kinship in learning of a related dragonblood. Some dragons see dragonbloods as beneath them, however. As a dragonblood isn't a “true” dragon, the draconic exemplar cares little for them.
