I am a new DM, starting my first campaign. i have had an idea about dragonborn npcs taking over a country, and the players must stop them. i am having trouble thinking of ways to introduce enemys who have a personality, maybe even becoming bad over time. any tips?
Start them out as a Lawful neutral invading empire who wants more land/resources and people to follow their rules....then maybe there was a change in leadership (a coup? long live the new king/queen/warlord) and they are still lawful but now lawful evil. They were pretty oppressive before but now...not following rules gets you more than just jailtime or public humiliation (torture or death). Or they could be different dragonborn factions or clans under the same rulership...and first you were dealing with one group that was LN (mercs would work) and now you're dealing with LE soldiers of the empire. You could even differentiate dragonborn colors. Work on the rules of their society and the differences to the one they are invading.
