The First House of Alexander was the first royal dynasty of the High Crown of the Allied Kingdoms of Nora founded by alexander. The dynasty gained several holdings all over Nora and founded Ten Horns.

In total, six First House monarchs ruled Nora from 1 - 139 NS. The legitimate male line of the First House went extinct with the death of High King Orion I, although an illegitimate scion, Lucius ren Alexander, was active at the High Court. The last legitimate member of the First House was Mary tir Xanden, who was killed in 191.
