THE COURTS OF THE DRAGON

[bickando 3967]

THE COURTS OF THE DRAGON

“IN NOMINE DEI”

Issued and confirmed by His Imperial Majesty, Godfrey III of the House of Horen, 17^th of the Sun’s Smile, 1717

 

The depths to which distant relations stoop in their claims to the throne of Man and to the lineage of its greatest rulers continues to confound the Imperial Crown; it has therefore been found in the best interest of the Crown to dissociate itself with such mean factors, and create for future reference a list of the officially recognized Horenic spawn and associated dragonblood of the Imperium Renatum and beyond.

 

On Claims and Heirs

 

Of the various thrones of Oren and Man there have existed many systems of claims. Listed herein are the officially accepted models within the House of Horen, notwithstanding those made after the creation of this document. Herein, they are listed generally by legal order of succession, ignoring agnatic-cognatic defaults (for instance, Adeline Margaret of the Johannian line falls behind Jamie Oliver in order of Johannian succession; she is, however, listed earlier on the list, as her father is the current head of line).

 

The Old Horenic Model - Agnatic Lateral, Primogeniture Contingency

Such was the will of Exalted Godfrey I to create a system by which a hundred generations might pass with the crown safely held. In the Old Horenic Model, the Emperor chooses his inheritor from among his children, and should the Emperor have not made such a choice or the crown otherwise passes, the firstborn son of the current Emperor inherits, then his brothers by date of birth. Should no such candidate exist, the family trees are moved up generation by generation until a suitable candidate is found. The titles of the First Empire, those of Exalted Godfrey and of Horen V, follow such a model.

 

The Johannian Model - Agnatic Primogeniture, Cognatic Contingency

It was found doubtful in the golden ages of Johannian rule that such a system had served the Horens well in eras past given the pruned tree of their time. The Johannian Model dictates that the firstborn male of the Emperor inherits, and should no such candidate exist, the tree returns to as far back as John I to find possible inheritors. If none are found, it then passes to eligible, matrilineally-married female children of past Horens, and if none of those are found, it passes to sub-lines, then to elder and younger Horenic branches, then to cadet branches. Herein, those that have taken sub-line names, such as Horen-Cantal or Horen-Marna, are considered secondary claimants. The titles of the Fifth and Sixth Empire, such as those of John I, John II, and John III, follow such a model.

 

The Pertinax Model - Absolute Lateral

Upon Aurelius’ ascension as Emperor of Man, the decision was made once more to be rid of the systems of yore. The Pertinax model holds that all descended from Pertinax ‘the Dragonknight’, son of Exalted Godfrey, or from the main line of the House of Horen, hold equal claim to the thrones of his descendants, with the previous holder of the titles the decider of his or her heir. Should no heir have been decided on, succession defaults to the Old Horenic Model. The titles of the Seventh Empire, called the Empire of Man, such as those of Aurelius I and Augustus I, follow such a model.

 

Recognition and Degrees of Separation

 

The House of Horen

Each branch of the children of Horen is classified by the degrees of separation from its main line, originally that of Godfrey I and Horen V, in modernity the Johannians, and from its line of primacy, that which holds the most power in the realms of man, in modernity the Pertinax. Those of either of the lines are always considered Horens, and by right utilize the surname and ancestral coats of arms of the House of Horen without bastardization or other additions.

 

Named Branches and Sub-Lines

A named branch, or sub-line, is by definition one with patrilineal descent from an actual Horen, with no breaks in Horen lineage before their transformation. These are classified as, similarly to the primary lines, “Horenic”, and are by and large allowed the use of the name and background of the House of Horen. They are, by extension, also considered ‘dragonblood’, and may use it where contextually correct, and may additionally take sigils or coats of arms utilizing the Dragon in its varied forms. Legally they are considered part of the House of Horen, but by the classification of the Courts of the Dragon are for succession purposes separated, and in styling do not generally use Horen-[Branch Name], but simply the branch name.

 

Cadet Houses

A cadet house is by definition one with patrilineal descent from an actual Horen, with a single break of some kind in lineage before the raising to nobility. This almost always means the existence of a Jrent as its founder, and the enfeoffment of him and/or his children lands within the empire, creating them nobles. They are termed ‘dragonblood’, as they are born and originated from the Horens, and may use it where contextually correct. A Jrent is afforded rights on the same level, called ‘dragonblood’ when acceptable. The Dragon in coats of arms may only be used in a bastardized form, with a black line marked over all.

 

Tertiary Relations

Finally, there are the tertiary relations. This includes those with some form of Horenic ancestry that permeates through all currently living members of the House, usually through the mother’s side, and accepted as related in such a way by both the heads of the line of primacy and the main line, and three sitting members of the Courts of the Dragon. Without such acceptance, issued and confirmed in official documentation, any claims of dragonblood in any form, and the use of Horenic ancestry in the pressing of claims or other official business is deemed illegal, punishable as deemed fit by the Courts of the Dragon of the House of Horen. When given the privilege of relation, however, they may make use of the term ‘drakesblood’ where acceptable. The Dragon is banned from use in the coats of arms of all such houses.

 

Non-Horenic

Those with tenuous or no claim to Horenic ancestry, considered unrelated both legally and in the eyes of the Courts of the Dragon. This includes bastards of Jrents, those claiming to be of lines confirmed to be extinct, those bearing only similar physical features to the dragonblooded, and otherwise. As explained above, a confirmation by the heads of the main line and line of primacy, and by three members of the Courts of the Dragon, can raise a Non-Horenic to tertiary status.

 

On the Titleage Inherent to the Blood of Horen

 

It is the opinion of the Emperor of Renatus and of the Courts of the Dragon that not all spawn of Horen are to be considered in their time Princes, Imperial or otherwise. It is therefore determined that only the children of monarchs royal and above, and the ongoing lines of their firstborn sons or heirs, may style themselves as a Prince or Princess of the level of their lord fathers. In such a way, all the sons and daughters of an Emperor are Princes and Princesses, but only his grandchildren and great-grandchildren by way of the Crown Prince are also considered as such. If the Imperial title should be lost, only those styled Prince of some kind on the date of its loss retain its use as a prefix unless a Princely title of some kind is afforded to the lineage as recompense.

 

On the Horens of Aeldin and those Newly Returned

 

It is the opinion of the Courts of the Dragon that newly returned brethren may be welcomed, but must be confirmed through the existence of certificates of birth, of written, signed, and sealed letters by continental Horens that had left to Aeldin, or of other confirmation of existence by accepted sources. Without at least one such source, the legitimacy of the newly returned or Aeldinic Horen should and will be called into question by those Horens on the continent, and it is then made necessary for officiators of the Courts of the Dragon to initiate tests and investigations. Until duly audited and without validated proof, those lines not affirmed herein are considered extincted.

 

On Dragonblood Marriages and their Legality

 

All marriages and births to main lines, lines of primacy, named branches, sub-lines, and cadet houses must be confirmed by an eyewitness officiator or dragonblood of at least sub-line status and reported to the officiators of the Courts of the Dragon. Any elopements or otherwise illegal marriages are deemed null and void, even to other dragonblood, and any births not reported or witnessed are considered in kind to have been illegitimate. Any children born outside the realms of the Crown are considered illegitimate unless proven additionally by a minimum three eyewitnesses of at least sub-line status as possessing the traits of the children of Horen.

 

On the Functioning of the Courts of the Dragon

 

Henceforth it shall be that a system of courts are established for the auditing and tracing of Horenic lineage and claims, called the ‘Courts of the Dragon’. The membership shall always be exclusively of dragonblood, and shall be headed by the head of the line of primacy of the House so long as it exists as an entity. Furthermore, the number can be as many or as few as deemed necessary, but once a member is declared to the Courts, they cannot be removed so long as they live on the main continent, and cannot remove themselves. Additionally, it is considered ideal for those of the main branch to outnumber any of the side branches, for the sake of majority votes. Any have the authority to witness the birth or marriage of a Horen as proxy of the Head of the House of Horen (though cannot act as sole witness to the birth of their own children), and any combination of three have the ability to confirm a returnee or Aeldinic Horen’s lineage (also as proxy of the Head of the House of Horen). A general meeting of the Courts of the Dragon can be called by its head to for matters of determination of the line of primacy, succession in lieu of the privy council of the primary realm of the House of Horen, or for other matters concerning the well-being of the House. A majority vote of all sitting members of the Courts of the Dragon is necessary to raise an unaffiliated House to the tertiary status, to confirm the creation of a sub-line or named branch, to confirm the re-emergence of a line considered extincted, or to determine the acceptance of the various coats of arms of its constituent houses. A vote cannot be held on the naming of a new main line without the full and confirmed extinction of the previous main line.

 

The following are the grandfathered-in members of the Courts of the Dragon, declared officiators of dragonblood;

John Alexander, son of Alexander Frederick of the Johannian lineage.

Thomas Elliot, son of Charles Elliot of the Johannian lineage.

Adeline Margaret, daughter of John Alexander of the Johannian lineage.

William Jrent, son of Charles Elliot of the Johannian lineage.

Godfrey III, son of Romulus of the Pertinax lineage.

Romulus, son of Augustus I of the Pertinax lineage.

Vitus, son of Tiberius of the Pertinax lineage.

 

Those listed below have been confirmed as grandfathered into the system of the Courts of the Dragon, and are recounted for posterity. As of the writing of this document, all recognized and confirmed living continental Horens or associated dragonblood are herein - any not on this list are considered beyond tertiary in relation, and therefore not Horens. Those that wish to lay claim to Horen blood or its associated matters may request a trial from the duly inducted members of the Courts of the Dragon, laying bare their whole selves and all pertinent evidence of their birthrights to be judged wholly and fairly by those of the House of Horen.
