The Diiv Kiir are a people descended from the blood of dragons. On the world of Bal-Kriav, nearly 100,000 are home to the lands, seas and depths of Midrêth.
A medium sized humanoid race, the Diiv Kiir have dragon-like features, some subtle, some obvious. Rarely do they have wings or even talons, on the whole much more subtle than their closest dragon-blood cousins, the Kriistvrii.
Diiv Kiir come about naturally and unnaturally. The natural way is intercourse with a dragon that has shape changed into humanoid form, or vice-versa. The unnatural way is process of magic and a dragon's blood delivered to a near-term mother. Whitefang's sorcerer/monster-makers are storied for this latter method.
If there is a sizable population of us, we can form family groups and mate among each other, but even this has its limits. Other measures are taken to assure the continuity of the line, you could say that some dragons build their sizable hoards from their services.
The greatest Diiv Kiir bloodline is that of your family, the Biles. Our line is strong, storied, a legacy of leaders blessed by Bahamut for its strong blood and the guidance of Ares for its nobility and warrior spirit.

On the world of Bal-Kriav, the Council of Bile has the largest Diiv Kiir population. In this empire, three of the more notable dragon-descended groups are the Bile family and the families that make-up two of the Orders of War. One of the orders is the Ladies of Castration, a militant society composed of nothing but dragon-descended female knights. The other of these Orders of War with a dragon heritage are the Wardens of Aspungad.
Another area in Hells Womb with a large Diiv Kiir population is the city of Scartaris.
The dragon bloodlines of the Lands of Purity are generally adherents to negative entropy and the holy. They are new arrivals to the region, descendants of the Eenkai and the gold dragons home to Gebs Rain. Most are citizens of the Nordern Theocracy and the Divine Empire.
In the Aerie of Dragons, a white dragon named Amaglothorn spread his seed among the elven maidens of Inzurakthol. The offspring of dozens of these maidens are Diiv Kiir, lines that have stayed pure, and as a whole called the Children of Amaglothorn.
Among clans, tribes, and even in some civilized areas, the dragon-descended often have an additional title to their name like Son of or Daughter of some dragon. Hundreds of Sons and Daughters of Amaglothorn dwell in the lands of Tári Súrion.
Diiv Kiir have a distinguishing mark that sets them apart from other bloodlines. This birthmark, bodily feature or coloration, is a Dragon Vanity Mark, a clear way of knowing their lineage. The Khage, dwarves that mixed with silver dragons, have either silver fingernails or stunning silver hair like the delicate silver hair of the elves.
