==== Relations with Wyrmlings and Other Draken ====

The relationship between Drakelings and Wyrmlings is often complex and unbalanced. Wyrmlings, being the more adaptable and numerous subrace, often take roles as merchants, scholars, and city-dwellers, while Drakelings dominate the warrior caste. This divide has led to unspoken tension within Draken society, as many Wyrmlings view Drakelings as brutal and outdated, while Drakelings see Wyrmlings as soft and weak. However, both are necessary for the survival of the race, and there exists a reluctant mutual respect between them, at least when their goals align.

Within the Bone Clan, Drakelings are revered as living weapons, their ferocity and combat skills celebrated. In contrast, within the Skyholder Clan, they are often kept away from leadership roles, as their aggression clashes with the clan's philosophical and spiritual approach to power. While Drakelings can rise in status, it is far harder for them to gain the trust of the Skyholder elite, who prioritise discipline, wisdom, and self-control over brute strength. However, some Drakelings have found ways to temper their aggression, channelling their strength toward discipline and divine purpose, earning respected positions as defenders of sacred sites, spiritual warriors, and guardians of ancient dragon sanctuaries.

Despite these cultural divisions, some Drakelings have forged new paths outside of traditional warrior roles. A few have embraced spiritual pursuits, dedicating themselves to the Skyholder belief in ascension, though their devotion is often met with scepticism by their more battle-driven kin. Others have become scholars of warfare, studying strategy, history, and the nature of battle to evolve beyond mere brute force. These rare individuals are both respected and feared, for a Drakeling who wields both strength and intelligence is a force few can challenge.
