Dragonmen Tribe

"We know not our purpose for being. Is this body Beast, or Human? If there is meaning to everything in this world, then where does our meaning lie? For no matter how long we search, we can find no answer. And so whether we are Beast or Human, we bare our souls and thus swear. Our eyes exist to pierce through falsehoods and see the truth. Our claws exist to tear down walls, and destroy the malice within. Our fangs exist to bite through our weakness, our anger and our hate. For when we forget our compassion, we are no more than Beasts. But so long as we wield the sword of reason, we are dragonmen."

- The vow of the dragonmen

The Dragonmen Tribe is a near extinct tribe of Dragonmen which Tio Klarus hails as a princess. They were one of the strongest races in Tortus. The Klarus family were rulers. However, the majority were killed by manipulations of the Evil God, Ehit.

Description
A legendary race of powerful beings that was presumed to be extinct around 500 years ago. Dragonmen were a race of humanoid beings with the ability to use special magic of "Dragonification" to transform into Dragons that boasted immense strength and defensive ability due to their sturdy scales (Dragonmen's clothes are stored inside their scales after they transform). It is speculated by Hajime that the special ability of "Dragonification" was imbued into the Dragonmen with the use of "Metamorphosis Magic", though it is unknown how it got inherited. Dragonmen have the ability to control their own mana like monsters and can use one or more elemental magics that they specialize in according to their Dragon type.

Dragonmen were considered foolish idealists by most races due to their desire to create a nation where every race can live in peace and tranquility. When they succeeded, however, the other races bowed and acknowledged them as Kings among Kings due to them creating a empire in which all races could thrive under their protection. Though the Dragonmen lived in peace with other races for centuries that changed when Ehit manipulated the other races to turn against the Dragonmen, as the various races banded together to destroy their Kingdom and began to kill most of their citizens. Fortunately, a secret village was prepared by the King Kharga Klarus and lead by his his father Adul Klarus to which the surviving Dragonmen fled to. The Dragonmen have sworn to defeat Ehit and free Tortus from his manipulations.
