The Dezeld Air Wing is an elite force of fighters who excell in atmospheric combat. Before the great exedous, they also had a group of space born fighters as well.  However, due to current limitation on ships, they have found otherways to act as a military force for the Dezeld Their ranks are concidered permanent, and are carved into their very scales.  Once a rank is gained, it can not be removed, meaning promotions are taken very seriously.  Because of this, the ranks are designed to be built on each other.

The Kerinwy are the offspring of a Dezeldi and a Non-Dezeldi. They are recognized as members of the society, but beyond that have no rights other than what is given to the parents. Equal rights activists have had their concerns quelled, by the simple fact that every kerinwy is conciderd a child. As they go through natural genetic changes at maturity, they become a Dezeldi.

The Dezeldi are responsible for the procreation of the race, and are required to find a non- Dracon mate. Two dezeldi seem to be incabable of bearing young together.

Line 161: Line 162:
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.  Certain ranks, such as that of the military or leadership, have an additional part added to the front of their name

===Confirmation Ceremony===
The joining of 2 Dezeld, or a Dezeldi and a Des' is a ceremony deep in tradition, and the recognition that it is the joining of not just two people, but two clans, 2 families, and at times, 2 empires.
====The Offering====
Each side offers the potential mates to each other... this first part is to show that both clans agree to the ceremony that will take place.
====Test of the Male====
A male that can not protect his mate is not worthy of a mate. This test is one of battle, to prove prowess, and willingness to put ones life on the line. This is more for show, but the injuries one can sustain are very real.
====Test of the Female====
This is a test of trust. and commitment. again, ceremony from when the males would mark a female as his, the male will tattoo the female, either in the hand, or the face, as the female preferrs. Choosing one or another is not a sign of shame, but some feel that a marking on the face shows greater trust.
====The Naming====
The ceremony finished, each are named according to tradition. At this time, any offspring created before this time are also named, and officialy recognized.


====Banquet====
A feast in the honor of the new couple.
