Baaz are the least powerful and most plentiful draconians. Created from the eggs of brass dragons, they were the first draconians to appear on Krynn. Draconic Regalia. Baaz so enjoyed the regal dress of the Dragonarmies that many of them continue to wear it today. Leather collars and breastplates studded with iron are common, as are layered metal leggings. Since this apparel is poorly kept, it is primarily for decoration, offering little in the way of protection. Lowly Draconians. At the bottom of the draconian social order, baaz tend to be chaotic in nature and self-serving when they can get away with it. During the War of the Lance, they served as common foot soldiers and were routinely assigned the most dangerous and least appealing duties. Their superior officers, along with members other draconian races, made no effort to conceal their contempt for the baaz, humiliating them at every opportunity. The baaz deeply resented this treatment, a feeling that still lingers. Lawless Roamers. Bands of baaz lair in abandoned buildings of all kinds. Because of their talents in disguising themselves, they sometimes live unnoticed in abandoned buildings in the center of human settlements. Baaz have a particular affinity for deserted inns and taverns. Grudgingly Accepted. Because the baaz were responsible for more human deaths during the War of the Lance than any other draconian race, humans hunt them mercilessly. Since the end of the war, the baaz have won grudging acceptance from other draconians, but relations are strained; the baaz and the kapaks, for instance, remain bitter enemies. |
