Dragnor

Dragnors are dragnorish.

Introduction
According to the old dragnorish tales, the Dragnor was created by the bestial god Boowoo, together with other beast-like creatures, deep within the Earthborn Mountain. Inside their mountain homeland, the Dragnor built the ancient stronghold of Mortkj, which is still the most important dragnorish city. However, after the defeat of the dragnor-dwarf alliance against the N'zavryn, many dragnors left their ancient homeland in the valley in hope to find a better place to live. Now a days, dragnors maybe also found in all the north of Baauhl.

Almost all history of the dragnor race happened inside the Deadwood Valley, and some other parts of Baauhl.

The Wastelands War
During the expansion of the N'zavryn empire, the dragnors had to leave their ancient stronghold in order to defend their territory against the invaders. Together with the Dohhoun Valley dwarves, Nalashin warriors, and some other races, the Mortkj dragnors attempted to face their common enemy. However, due to inner conflict in their alliance, the dragnors lost their greatest leader, Moohkr'Khan, which leaded the defeat of their alliance and fdragnored the dragnors to retreat to their lands.

The Split of the Clans
After the death of Moohkr'Khan, the union of the Mortkj was broken, which lead the clans to take different actions. While the Warcrest and Furyhowl dragnors refused to surrender against the N'zavryn, the Hollowtree, Iron-root and Leafeye clans decided to retreat to their homeland and defend their territory. Leaded by the chief Urlzwv, most of the Black Claw, Thunder Grip and Blade-wing dragnors left their homeland in search of other lands.
