Good day lads. My name is Dux Von Drake Bafis. I am a marquis in Dragon Estate, a march on the border of Imperial City. Beyond our gates are the Mountains of Laruz. My troops are stationed here to protect His Majesty Kingdoms from invaders of the east.
This is my faithful wife, Lady Dursina. She is a daughter of Sir Dominic Dracov -- a knight and Protector of Dragon Clan. Yup, she's taller than me. So what?
Damian Domigo is my adviser. He is a Dragon Mage who knows ancient magic. Rumors said that he owned a dragon but I never saw one, so far.
These are the Dragon Old Guards. They are well-trained with halberd. They are strong that they can use a halberd with one hand. They served my father for many years. Now they are my finest bodyguards and protect our Dragon Estate from unwelcome intruders.
Sir Dominic Dracov, a knight and Protector of Dragon Clan.
Me with Sir Dominic. When in present danger, he is the one who rides out and investigate what is happening at the border. He wears heavy body armor and wields a lance and a black sword. He also carries a large shield. His black stallion is the fastest in this land.
This is our Dragon Black Vanguards. They are masters of spear. With medium breast plate, they move swiftly in combat. They faces are hidden behind full face helm and only I know their true identity. When I'm out from the estate, the Vanguards escort my horse carriage.
Finally, these are my Dragon Marksmen. They are armed with metal crossbow and wear light chain mail.
As a marquis who hold a title Dux, I can raise an army of 20 men. But so far the Dragon Clan is consist of 10 soldiers. I am about to recruit a few more men to garrison the border. That's mean there are another ten mouth to feed and a bagful of goldleon (gold coins use in our kingdoms) to pay these men.
To raise income for my army, I provide escorts to travelers who want to travel beyond the border. The Dragon Black Vanguards also serve His Majesty to protect precious cargo convoys.
Sometimes we conduct black operations by sneaking into enemy's land and steal their harvest and goldleons. Mostly our enemies are the brickmen of the sea - the pirates and the Vickins ( a tribe of axe men).
