About the Drake County Alliance
The Drake County Alliance is a community of players that will work together in Chronicles of Elyria. Through cooperation and economies of scale, we hope to bring wealth and success to our members. Our centralized leadership structure will provide expertise and guidance to domain managers and enable them to utilize more efficient practices, while still maintaining their sovereignty.
Location
The majority of our counties are located within the Kingdom of Vornair, on the border of the Coast of Aritaur (part of the Conclave of Aritaur) and Dawn’s Reach (part of the Stormlands).
We have claimed a large area within the Alpine Coniferous Forest biome in Kingdom 2 that will feature coastlines, mountains, forests, and grazing areas.

Tribes
As part of Kingdom 2, The Drake County Alliance will be made up primarily of Hrothi and Brudvir, with small populations of Neran and Kypiq characters. However, we have active plans to import Dras, To'Resk, Waerd, and Janoa as well as the lost tribes when they are found. If you are interested in playing a non-native tribe, we will help you make the trip to our lands.
Values
As one of the founding members of Vornair, Count Vestan Drake is dedicated to the success of the Kingdom of Vornair and its citizens. He expects no less than a cooperative attitude with the Kingdom, Duchy, and County from all of his citizens. We will succeed by working together to protect the people and the resources of our communities.
Organizations
We of the Drake County Alliance are proud of the entrepreneurial spirit of our citizens. We are always looking for more organizations who want to call our county their home. Here are some of the organizations that are headquartered here:
Government Structure
Our government is made up of many invested leaders who have been part of the community for years. It is broken into two primary branches: The Executive branch run by each Count, and the Legislative branch run by the Senate.
The Senate
The legislative body of the alliance, the Senate, is responsible for developing policy that can be adopted by all of the counties in the alliance. Each Senator manages a government department that handles policy for the entire multi-county region. Both hereditary and elected Senator positions will be available, to allow for a balance between stability and fresh ideas.
Both the Count and the Senators represent the people of the alliance and we encourage every citizen to voice their ideas and opinions. Together we will work to develop a government that serves the people while ensuring that the alliance is an economic, military, and cultural beacon within the region.
Culture
One benefit of such a large community and combined resources is our ability to take on much larger-scale projects. Our plans already include a grand Coliseum, jousting tournaments, theme parks, hotels and casinos. What these all have in common is tourism, which will bring more people to our settlements and businesses.
Have an idea for a large project? Come join us and make it a reality!
Religion and destiny will play a big part of many players’ lives in Chronicles of Elyria. While Vornair may not have an official religion, our county will make every effort to utilize those mechanics for the betterment of our people. We plan to build massive cathedrals and monuments for whatever religion is prevalent in our society. We will also employ astrologers to help our citizens identify and chase down their destiny. Together, we can make sure that our community has many chapters in the story of this game.
Role Playing
While our community at large does not typically role play, we are accepting of those that do.
Our History
Jaxon Forge was never meant to follow in his father’s footsteps. While his skills with a blacksmith's hammer came naturally, it never really felt right to him. From an early age he showed a passion for exploration and understanding the world around him, his courage often getting him into trouble. As a teen he would sneak off to explore local caves. One night, as he tried to explore deeper than he ever had, long after his friends had abandoned him, he stumbled upon a strange metallic object. As he brought his torch closer to inspect it, he let out an audible gasp, echoing throughout the caverns. It could only be one of two things: a giant diamond, or a white dragon egg.
For years, Jaxon led a double life. He spent the day sweating over hot steel, bending metals to his will. But when he looked at his reflection in a new blade, all he saw….was a dragon. At night he would sneak back to the cave, where he set up a ramshackle campsite. He wouldn’t sleep, he just lay there, staring at the object, waiting…. Over time his red hair and beard grew long and tangled, his words jumbled from lack of sleep. His friends would no longer adventure with him to the caves, thinking he had lost his mind. But still he hammered on….still he returned to the cave.
Until one night, a night like any other, Jaxon turned the last bend in the caves and stopped in his tracks. On this night, the campsite lay torn to shreds and burned to a crisp. The object was gone. Someone had found and stolen his treasure. Jaxon fell to his knees, weeping, was he crazy? Was it just a diamond that he sat on for years, and had now lost forever? He crawled to a nearby precipice, planning to end it all.
Then he saw it, the shimmer reflecting his torchlight. A small shard of the object, like a piece of eggshell, had fallen into the pit. It was real! Shaking visibly, Jaxon donned his climbing gear and repelled into the pit to claim his prize. No other signs were anywhere, but he knew he was right all along. He had a renewed vigor. That night he returned to his home and packed his belongings, leaving a farewell note to his family before leaving, never to return again.
Jaxon set off on his mission to find this mysterious dragon. He was no longer Jaxon Forge. He began to introduce himself as Jaxon Drake, the Dragon Hunter, traveling from hamlet to village to town, following rumors of strange flying lizards. Over time, his name and story spread and young adventurers were inspired to follow in his footsteps.
Jaxon’s tale soon caught the attention of a minor Count by the name of Vestan Krieger, who bestowed upon him the title of Chief Justice. Jaxon and the Count's daughter Erzabet fell in love, married and settled down in her estate. The couple would go on to have many sons and eventually succeed her father as Count and Countess.
Count Jaxon Drake could no longer risk adventuring on his own and began to send younger, more capable explorers to follow up on draconic rumors. This led to the formation of the Adventurer’s Guild. After spending years as an adventurer himself, the eldest son Vestan took up leadership of the guild and sent his brothers off to explore the far regions of the duchy. Years later, they returned, bringing with them grand stories, massive treasures, and deeds to all the lands in the region. Together those lands came to be known by the family that brought them all together: Drake.
