History​

From the depths of ancient crypts and forgotten tombs, the Mummy Dragonborn emerge, their scales bearing the weathered patina of time and their eyes glowing with an eerie otherworldly light. They are the embodiment of an ancient curse, a lineage tainted by the touch of undeath. Their ancestors, once proud and noble dragons, were victims of a terrible necromantic ritual, their life essence bound to the realm of the dead.

The Mummy Dragonborn are a paradox, living creatures touched by the chill of undeath. They possess the strength and resilience of their draconic heritage, but their bodies are decaying, their minds haunted by echoes of their former lives. Their breath weapon is not the fiery blast of their kin, but a chilling wave of necrotic energy that can wither and sap the life from their foes.

The Mummy Dragonborn are often found in the company of necromancers and other practitioners of the dark arts, drawn to the power of undeath that has shaped their lineage. Some seek to understand their curse, hoping to break free from its shackles, while others embrace their undead nature, seeking to harness its power for their own ends.

The Mummy Dragonborn are a haunting reminder of the power of necromancy, a testament to the enduring bond between life and death. Their presence is a chilling omen, a warning of the dark forces that lurk beneath the surface of the world.
