Holly Court
Oak Court
Individuals born on the isle are inextricably linked to the ruling court at the time of their birth, aligning their destinies with the reigning monarch’s virtues and responsibilities. This unique birthright plays a crucial role in maintaining the equilibrium of the isle’s societal structure.
Before travelling through the portal all visitors dates of birth are taken and they are told which court they belong to. While in Dunsky it is not uncommon to feel a kinship with others born in the same court.
