Phocion served twice as king of Dragonspine in the mid-1990s. He was the public face of his kingdom during this time as he traveled to many events, in contrast to most of his populace (similar to how [[Randall]] is currently the public face of Dragonspine). His reigns were notable in that he attempted to institute the idea of what he called an "Amtgard Middle Class" where masterhoods in the orders, while qualifying one for knighthood, did not necessarily imply that one was actually worthy of knighthood. He also served as champion of Dragonspine. He earned the title of [[Warlord]] with an outstanding string of victories (41?) in a well-contested tournament.
