    Arviden II The Duke of Pharynx was chosen to be King of Zorkain. During his reign there were many smaller raids and battles between Zorakin and the kingdom of Raxoria. Both countries have claims on lands and resources and neither had the inclination to solve it through diplomacy. Arviden were a major force of grabbing Raxorian land as the nobles of Pharynx needed more land for their unlanded noble sons.   Arviden died in battle against Raxorian forces and as he had no sons the Duchy was awarded to his oldest sisters husband.    Arviden were born 1 A.O and died 59 A.O.

    Alexeris

    Alexeris the Duke of Solei-Font was born in 24 A.O. and died 107 A.O.   Alexeris held a grudge against the kingdom of Raxoria as his father fell in battle against them when he was very young. He advocated for conquering Raxoria and make them a subject of Zorakin and this was probably a very important reason why he was chosen king of Zorakin by his peers. Alexeris became the conquerer of the Kingdom of Raxoria and managed it reasonably well by allowing many Raxorian to keep their noble status, although most of the higher titles or rich baronies were granted to Penner nobles.   At the end of Alexeriks reign there were much troubles in the Salamorian region to the north east of Zorakin. The troubles often flooded over and into Zorakin, making it necessary for Alexeris to prepare a military action. Unfortunatly Alexeris died before being able to launch the invasion and as Zorkain struggled to chose a new King, the preparations withered away. But the Zorakian nobility did not forget.

    Valien II Coinmaker

    Valien II the Duke of Dravioauxe were chosen as King of Zorakin at the longest assembly of Dukes in the history of Zorakin. In the end of it Valien were chosen as he was the one everyone could agree on, if they themself could not be King. Valien had never shown any tendency to become King, and he very reluctantly accepted the title.   No one actually thought he would achieve anything. But as the Salamorian troubles intensified Valien quickly assembled a large force and invaded. He defeated the robber barons forces, bandit groups and brought peace and stability to the realm. Just as an afterthought he declared it a part of Zorakin, and granted his followers land and titles in the new Duchy Salamora.     Born 70 and died 110

    Gardigolf the Shipwright

    Gardigolf the Shipwright, the second born son of Valien III   Born 184 and died 244   During Gardigolfs rule Zorakin the amount of coastal raids became prevailent, and the local lords where unable to respond quickly enough. Gardigolf decided that in order to protect the Kingdom, the kingdom needed a fleet. Of course some of the lords of the realms had a ship or two but it was insufficient. Gardigolf realised that the only solution where a royal navy, payed for by the King and ordered by the King. Gardigolf payed shipwrights and mariners from other realms into Zorakin and then he ordered ships to be built and sailors to be trained. The drainage of coins where high, but as the fleet became operational and the pirate raids lessened it became clear it had been a good idea.
