This family is the richest and most powerful family in the city of Hookridge. The father rules the city in an Autocratic fashion – controlling both the powerful militia (including a standing army and the city guard), and the two largest temples (Ptah and Horus).
The Draytons believe strongly that the old houses deserve to own the new Backbone and have resisted (and outright defied) the will of Rathwyn, who wishes to see a more egalitarian power-sharing arrangement.
