Drake

The Drake are a Yuan-Ti society living in the Aerohunt Swamps in Pettylin.

Drake society is organized into small tribes, which are further divided into clans.

Drake clans live in small villages of stilt houses built above the swamps, made of logs tied together with rope. They primarily support themselves by subsistence fishing, supplemented by a small amount of hunting. They have also historically engaged in piracy. They have a horrible liquor with a very high alcohol percentage - it is unclear what it is made out of.

For the most part, with the exception of the Drake Purists, who have fled as refugees to the Kingdom of Lundene with the help of the adventurers, the Drake eagerly serve the dragons and work to speed their return. There are plans to integrate the Drake Purist refugees into the Kingdom of Lundene and settle them in Hailburg.

They were previously ruled by the Three Perfects. However, the great green dragon Rearden'Hen violently seized power after being welcomed by the Drake, and Rearden'Hen now rules the Drake as a god-king from a great and ancient steppe pyramid located in the heart of the Aerohunt Swamps.

As Yuan-Ti, the Drake are included among the Cold Ones, and early look forward to the return of the dragons, and have long worked to speed that return.

Under Rearden'Hen's leadership, Drake piracy has drastically increased, as the Drake attempt to capture people and turn them into Yuan-Ti through a mysterious magic ritual.
