The Draconis Family
History
The Draconis Family traces its lineage back to the early days of the Reclaiming, although at the time it was a very minor house.
Throughout the centuries, The Draconis Family would intermarry, buy, or use political maneuvering to gain more power. The Holders of the family would go through cycles of corruption and piousness, depending on what was more effective for their survival. The first recorded holder of The Draconis Family was Xakuur Draconis, a general in the Imperial army during the reclaiming. He came from a minor noble family, but had taken the name "Draconis"—meaning “Dragon”—after his men claimed he had the ferocity in battle of a mythical monster from ancient lore. His original family name has been lost to history.
When the Amarr Empire started to expand into different systems, and the Draconis Family, who by that time was a vassal of the Kor-Azor heir, followed their lord to Eclipticum, eventually settling there permanently. When Lord Tercus Draconis assumed holdership of the Draconis Family, he married Lady Faliz Kor-Azor, one of the Royal family's minor daughters. As a part of the dowry, Lord Tercus acquired the continent of Athror, and renamed the Draconis estate and its city after the continent. The holdings have been in the family ever since.
