The House of Drageset is a noble family originally from Normark, now residing in Nouvelle Alexandrie. The family was elevated to the ranks of Baron of Revby and Knight of the Realm in 1718 AN by King Tarjei Thorgilsson, following their instrumental role in the Battle of Revby. Following the collapse of Normark in 1737 AN, the family relocated to Cárdenas, where they were granted status as Peers of Nouvelle Alexandrie by King Sinchi Roca II.
History
Origins in Normark
The House of Drageset traces its noble origins to Elias Drageset, a military officer who played a crucial role in the Battle of Revby in 1718 AN during the Wars of the Dispossessed. As a reward for his valor and strategic brilliance, King Tarjei Thorgilsson granted Elias the titles of Baron of Revby and Knight of the Realm. The family's elevation to nobility coincided with King Tarjei Thorgilsson's reform of the peerage, which restricted blood nobility to the House of Einhorn. The Dragesets were among the few families to receive new noble titles during this period, marking them as a house of particular significance despite their recent ennoblement.
Exodus to Nouvelle Alexandrie
During the collapse of Normark in 1737 AN, the House of Drageset, led by Bjørn Drageset, joined many other Norse nobles and citizens in seeking refuge in Nouvelle Alexandrie. The family settled in Cárdenas, where King Sinchi Roca II granted them status as Peers of the Realm in recognition of their noble heritage and in accordance with Nouvelle Alexandrie's policy of providing sanctuary to displaced nobles of friendly nations.
The Dragesets have since established themselves as prominent members of the Norse expatriate community in Cárdenas, maintaining cultural ties with other Norse families while integrating into New Alexandrian society. Bjørn Drageset has become particularly active in promoting Norse cultural heritage within Nouvelle Alexandrie and serves as a bridge between the Norse community and New Alexandrian society.
