[b]Description[/b]: 

The Namorean Dominion is an independent state formed from the foundations of an organization known as [i]The Order of the Golden Mane[/i]. Before the fall of the old empires, members of the order were well known and were spread across the land. They were given special right to operate without being tied to any nation, and had holdings dotting the Sunrise Lands. They were known experts in dealing with beasts that plagued the continent; and were very good at it. At the height of the order's prestige, they held influence that could sway empires to their favor.

When the great fall occurred, House Tiber; lords of the land surrounding Namoria, declared independence from the Human Empire and merged with the organization. This created an independent military power a midst the chaos brought by the fall, and a safe haven for the subjects of House Tiber. The Dominion was formed, and the land prospered in the years that followed. Members of the order were folded into the new Dominion military, with only few being allowed to operate independently in far away lands. The location of the [url=https://img00.deviantart.net/bfb3/i/2013/290/5/2/to_the_arena___by_klauspillon-d6qstov.jpg]order's fabled seat of power[/url] faded into history, with only members of the house knowing where it is.

Despite the prosperity it enjoyed, the Dominion kept an isolationist stand when it came to politics. Their lands closed off from the rest of the world, even to refugees or traders. The last time the Dominion made a significant show of power was during the bestial purge in Petaxaleena. Thousands of Manticores were sent to the swamp lands to cull the growing number of beasts that preyed on the local populace. The crusade against the beast was long and bloody and Dominion soldiers died in droves. In the end victory was achieved, albeit phyrric one.

The Dominion kept silent since then, only to resurface recently based on rumors that Manticores have been seen wandering the lands again..
