Blue scalebanes are the most elite of the blue dragonspawn, and they represent a small fraction of blue dragonspawn society. These are the leaders, the most powerful spellcasters, and the elders of the blue dragonspawn race. While all blue scalebanes were wyrmkin and flametongues earlier in life, scalebanes are technically a different species, having been transformed by a complicated ritual similar to those undergone by dragons as they mature. Scalebanes are chosen from the best of the lesser ranks, those who demonstrate exceptional leadership as well as combat or magical abilities.
