 They have the least amount of draconic blood necessary to be considered draconic. Much less, and they’d be indistinguishable from a sape by appearance, although admittedly they would tend to be noticeably shorter than the average sape.
-Despite their small stature, they live long lives, typically over 200 years.
+They tend to live for only five to ten years.
 ===Wyrmkin===

 They often take up jobs requiring immense endurance and physical prowess, and they have appetites to match.

 They are adaptable, hardy people, and they can survive in the wilderness between villages for months on end. They are sociable, entertaining people, and they tell engaging stories.
+Draigfolk also have similar lifespans to sapes, typically 70-90 years.
 ===Alwyvern===

 They are also adept liars, fond of feigning ignorance to waste the time of others.
+They may live for up to 250 years.
 ===Speaker===
+[[Speaker|Speakers]] are those whose father is a dragon.
+They range in form wildly, but you can tell a Speaker from any other draconic by the fact that they can shapeshift,
+they possess both wings and arms, and they possess a breath power like we true dragons do.
+Speakers are usually incredibly powerful mages.
+They live far away from the draconic villages, as they are more than capable of defending themselves, and they often resent full-blooded dragons.
+They may live for up to 500 years, although there are some speakers who have lived for over 1,000 years.
 ===Demiwyrm===
+[[Demiwyrms]] are those whose mother is a dragon, and they often have a similar appearance to full-blooded dragons,
+and a lifespan of thousands of years. However, unlike a true dragon, they cannot shapeshift, they lack wings,
+and they do not have a breath power like dragons.
+They are nonetheless respected members of Feyndraigish society. Demiwyrms are far more common than dragons, but without a breath power or the magical ability of speakers, and the fact that they cannot shapeshift into a form which has hands like dragons can (which would allow them to wield weapons), they rely on villages for protection.
+They often act as elders for a village, remembering the history of the village and making decisions on how the village ought to be managed to meet the needs of its patron dragon. As they are typically the strongest people living in each village, they are instrumental in finishing construction projects.
+Demiwyrms may live for up to 3,000 years.

 [[Dragon|Dragons]] are the backbone of feyndraigish society.

+The nation revolves around the movements and whims of dragons, entire villages will pack up and move when a dragon decides the view would be nicer elsewhere, often because entire villages will be descended from one dragon.
 A great many abandoned villages across the countryside get that way because of a dragon’s wanderlust.

   * Mind Dragon
 The authority of the Mind Dragons are absolute. They may order anything of any 'lesser' race, up to and including death, for any reason including no reason. Their rule is by definition totalitarian. They do not meet with non-dragons.
+  * Incarnate
+Incarnates are the de-facto leaders of each tribe of dragons. Regardless of the specific caste to which an incarnate belongs, any incarnate is equivalent in status to any other incarnate. There are twenty incarnates of each tribe of dragons at any time.
