The Dominion of Silence
The Dominion were once a faction within the Order of the White Sun until Albena the Silent broke away from the nation. She believed that Guiscard the Holy wasn't doing enough to fight the Old Gods and the creatures they unleased upon the continents. While they still maintain an alliance with The Order, they are a separate entity.
The district of Ruse is home to the capital city of The Dominion with the same name. Located at the northern tip of Nog Hhreud, the citadel stands watch over the northern trade routes.
Home to half a dozen ports and shipwrights, the district of Sovar is the seafaring hub of The Dominion.
The Burg is made up of several settlements that are connected by bridges that span the Twin Lakes in northern Nog Hhreud.
Home to the remaining quarter of The Dominions agriculture, The district of Sonik also shares the eastern border with the Forsaken Knights. Sharing the border with the Forsaken Knights has created countless issues with refugees that travel upriver from Rotter to Devo.
The District of Zadiv runs the full length of the southern border of The Dominion and The Order. The district is the largest of the six and is home to 75% of the agriculture of The Dominion. The district is also home to some of the highest tax rates within The Dominion with all the trade that moves through the southern border.
The district of Targovo is the smallest of the six district but is also the wealthiest. Many within The Dominion with high status or wealth have moved to Targovo to escape the lower classes. Many of the rich that do not live here have second homes within the district.

Large banquets are held where they berate and disrespect the Old Gods and their traditions. In some towns they will set fires to sections of forest to show their hatred of earth gods. Some port cities will hold whaling contests, fisherman are rewarded for hunting whales that are either the largest or smallest. This is a way of disrespecting the Gods of the Sea by hunting some of its gentlest creatures. Each city has its own way of celebrating these holidays.Assets
