A sapient reptilian species dominant in regions south of Liscor, generally unfriendly to Humans.
Drakes are revealed to have superior eyesight to Humans, able to see details of the city of Liscor from a distance that Erin cannot. Relc also mentions his scales get itchy when he's in danger, which is a non-Skill based sense. Drakes have scales in a variety of colors, including green, blue, yellow, orange, and black, usually with one dominant color and sometimes speckles. Selys is described as having scales as 'fair as light grass under sunlight'. They have claws and can have neck spines. They tend to elongate 's' and 'l' sounds when speaking. Drakes are shown to have a variety of scale colors, including lilac-purple, grungy purple (Lism), and sky-blue (Olesm). They hiss when angry and lack eyebrows. Drakes are described as having neck-spines.
The Drake species is introduced through the character Relc. Erin learns key details about them, including their relation to Dragons, their dislike of being confused with Lizardfolk, and the fact that some can breathe fire.
