The Des (or Desa for a female) is the highest social rank. Even Dezeld respect the Des. They are Non-Dezeld, who have chosen a Dezeldi as a mate, and have through them, helped ensure the survival of the Dezeld Race. The first known Des was Rae Sterling, mate to the first Dezeldi Valareos Draconrouge. It is the custom of the Dracon to assign the title to the mate, and from there, respect the traditions of the Des' original race. The Des’ can choose, however, to take on a Dezeld name, as Rae chose to do. | The Des (or Desa for a female) is the highest social rank. Even Dezeld respect the Des.

The name of a Dezeld is broken up into 3 Parts. First can be considered similar to Mr, or Mrs in common, it represents the social class, and color of the dragon, or in the Des’ case, the color of their mate. The second is a given name, and is their true name. The third shows who hey are mated to. Rae Sterling, therefore, became Desa’figret Fferyllt fi’Valareos, which means Lady of the Red Fferyllt, mate of Valareos. Valareos became Dezeldi’figret Valareos fi’Fferyllt. For identification with rank, only the second name is used, so Commander Sterling became Commander Fferyllt | The name of a Dezeld is broken up into 3 Parts.
