Dragonsong Dominion: Notable People

Alexander Court - Current Dominus of the Dragonsong Dominion and Paragon of the Code (1371-, rule: 1394-). Eldest son of Sikander Court (1340-1392, rule: 1380-1392) and grandson of Alastair Brant (1321-1380, rule: 1365-1380). Alexander was brought up during the golden age of Dragonsong, where the navies and armies of the land were at its height. This age ended with Bloodstone's invasion of 1392 when his father was unceremoniously executed in front of the domina and their daughters along with all the heads of noble houses that were in Western Gate at the time. Luck would have it that Alexander and his brother Marcus were abroad signing strong treaties with the realms on Mistone and Dregar; so when news of the attack reached them, they were the first to call out for help and bring together armies to retake the land from the invaders.
 
A strong willed but wise man, a renowned swordsman, and a good leader, he has in his brother his highest councilor. His ear, though, is in the population; Alexander takes great joy in mediating or judging cases of the simple folk. He has been married to Domina Lucia since 1398; together they have four children, Sander (heir, 1402-), Lucilla (1405-), Tullius (1408-) and Arrieta (1410-).
 
Marcus Court - Younger brother of the Dominus (by 10 years) and Swordmaster of the Code (title given to the commander of the combined legions), he is responsible for the training and fielding of the Dominion's renowned army. A private man, he keeps to himself and only offers advice to the dominus when asked explicitly.

Although, by tradition, the Katana of Dragonsong belongs to the dominus, Marcus has been granted the privilege of being its bearer during his brother's rule for none in the land is more capable of wielding the massive 5-foot-long katana than he.
