Silly question

Au Ra aren't actually descended from dragons! Their horns are their ears.

More than one source identifies Au'Ra as the progeny of dragons. As well as the cranial projections (horns) are how they hear and have spatial recognition.

The descendance is supposed to be in dispute in the lore, as to whether or not they actually are, which I think adds a nice touch to the story for them. It's never been confirmed nor denied really.

Oh, my mistake! Honestly, that makes them even cooler. Can I see where they're confirmed as descended from dragons? I love the lore so much. Q_Q

I'd like to see those sources too, since their features can't possibly be from being descendants of dragons because

the First

has Au Ra but no dragons.

Yup. People tend to forget that dragons are not indigenous to Etheirys - Middy traveled with his clutch of eggs to our world (post sundering) went "Yo, can we crash here?", to which Hydaelyn went "K." He pretty much tells you this in HW/SB (minus the sundering part).

I don't believe there is a single official source for this. The character creator blurb for the race outright states that their horns giving "enhanced hearing and spatial recognition" is not a draconian trait, and therefore a reason to consider them dissimilar.

The overall vibe of the description is that their appearance leads people to speculate that they are related to dragons, but this seems to be a coincidental sharing of visual traits that don't actually have the same function.

Meanwhile, the lorebook page about the race doesn't even raise the possibility.
