History
The Dominion was created by Prince Alexios Magos Apollon in 466 BFY when he united his conquests into a single domain. he took on living god status from his exposure to Khemaat culture while on campaign. He began to spread this cult and dolled out fiefs to his descendants who became the Tyrannos or Overlord class. His many children would go on to split it apart after his death but keeping a united Supreme Overlord, the most powerful of this new generation of living gods. The internal political struggles for power did not prevent the continued expansion of the Dominion, subjugating the Horned One clans, Centaur tribes, Minotaur cities and countless other nations. The Dominion has built its success of military might and the slaves it imports illegally as well as has at home. It is much hated because of this practice and is an enemy of its neighbors, especially the Anti-Heliopian bloc. Currently there are indications that it is aligning itself with the God-Makers. It has just recently expanded its borders, destroying Nowhere and threatening Jarnepolia-Sokol's borders.
