Society
In the beginning, after the Primordials retreated to their planes and before the old gods arose, the dragon gods roamed the material plane. There were few but they were powerful, roaming the world, seeing more and more wonderful sights. The dragon gods dug into the earth to find precious metals, dove into the sea to find the largest pearls, and crafted wondrous items. Eventually, due to pride or greed or malice, the dragon gods lashed out at each other. Eventually only two dragon gods were left alive. Tiamat, a goddess who had amassed power by devouring her foes, and Bahamut, a god who only defeated those who struck him or others first. They warred for centuries, before collapsing exhausted in an embrace. That night, the dragonborn were born. Bahamut and Tiamat settled their differences for a time, looking after their new children. They taught them legends, metal working, magic, and song. Tiamat believed that her children should work to bring her more riches, while Bahamut belived that his children should be free to live as they pleased. They warred again, now with their children next to them. Bahamut was victorious and made a deal with dark forces to bind Tiamat in the Nine Hells. Bahamut then retreated to the Outer Planes, to make a safe afterlife for his people. Bahamut is a distant god, rarely involving himself with his people, which has caused many dragonborn communities to become rather agnostic. Some dragonborn communities are even completely atheist.

There are a few Dragonborn city-states but most Dragonborn communities are isolated villages in deep canyons or high mountain valleys.

Relations
Dragonborn are usually proud and aloof, not worried about other beings. Dragonborn can be quite competitive but that is usually reserved for fellow Dragonborn or people they find quite able.

Adventurers
Dragonborn seldom adventure. The only reason as a Dragonborn leaves a community is if they have been cast out or if they have been a mission or a quest to help the community.
