The House of Drageset is a minor noble house from Normark. The family was elevated to the ranks of Baron of Revby and Knight of the Realm in 1718 AN, following their instrumental role in the Battle of Revby.
History
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. Since their elevation, the Dragesets have continued to serve Normark in various military and civil capacities, maintaining a reputation for loyalty and competence.
