Intro

Lucan Dux of VDK.
  • The Duchy Von Drachenklaue, or VDK, is a confederation of many separate households (or Hauses) that have united under the house of Duke Lucan and Duchess Yana Von Drachenklaue. Most of the Sub Hauses have adopted the green/white/black of the "tagma" as their field device, and fight as a formidable unit as part of the 1st Division of the EK's Northern Army. Members of VDK can be found all over the Knowne World, though most are settled in the Kingdom of the East.


Duke Lucan and Duchess Jana have retired to their Ducal Estate in the Barony of Stonemarche. The Duke and Duchess Emeriti still advise the Duchy and the Duchy Leaders. Their heirs, Brennan Dux and Caoilfhionn Dux, have taken over as Duke and Duchess Drachenklaue.
