Albertine (5e Race)
From D&D Wiki
Albertine[edit]
"We come in on the cold winds. Yet stay from the creatures we meet."
Physical Description[edit]
Albertines are eastern dragon with a love for the cold. They don't seem to be related to normal dragons, as they don't hold all the same powers. They have a ghostly appearance, rarely ever having pupils. Long manes that covers their necks, and plates only on their chest, the rest of their body is a smooth scale. They have thick "scarves" that come off their snouts, being as long or longer than their body.
History[edit]
Little is known about the Albertines, they have a connection with the cold winds, and are thought to come from the plane of Frostfell. They move to other planes when the winds show them the way, and once they're there, they tend to stay as they meet new creatures, acting like most silver dragons, finding mortals with short life spans, amusing.
Society[edit]
Albertines society back home follows a mutated(Alpha) or non-mutated(omega) pack. They don't live together, yet in the jagged cliffs miles apart, coming together on the coldest day to converse about pack rules, and new boarders. They don't marry, but have life long mates, maybe one or two at a time. Mates are normally picked by the mutated one, and given to the male. Mates don't live together, and don't raise the offspring together, just meet once awhile.
Albertine Names[edit]
