Sarantine Dominion is an independent realm.
The undisputed leader and founder of the Brotherhood. Caspian holds ultimate authority in matters of war, diplomacy, law, and governance. His rule is justified by conquest and by the loyalty of those who have sworn their oaths to him. The Lord of Iron embodies the Brotherhood’s principle: strength
Romulus' inner council — his most feared champions,proven killers, and trusted advisors. They do not merely advise, they enforce.
The Sarantine Dominion rises as the newest standard of the Sarantines under the rule of Romulus Thorton, once Iron lord of the Brotherhood of Iron. By his hand the Turindiëldrim crown was shattered, and the old order of kings cast down. In its place stands a state born not of lineage, but of strength, cunning, and the will to seize destiny.
Unlike the gilded legacies of Tymetranië or the cautious liberty of the Confederazione, the Dominion proclaims itself a realm for the hardened and the tested. Its capital lies upon the ruins of Turindië’s royal seat, reforged into a citadel of steel and stone, where banners of the ox and fox entwined hang beside the black sigil of iron. The Dominion is both a Sarantine heir and a Sarantine challenger—claiming that only through discipline, order, and the restoration of its lands can the glory of the Amethyst City be reclaimed.
Geographically, the Dominion straddles the marches once ruled by Turindiëldrim monarchs, with rugged highlands to the north and rich river valleys to the south, now pressed into service for the Dominion’s war machine. The warlords of the north—once raiders, now bound by oath or iron—swell its ranks, while the southern Genses yield tribute or suffer the hammer of conquest.
The Dominion’s culture is martial, austere, and uncompromising. Where the Confederazione preaches liberty, the Dominion exalts duty. Where the Empire prizes nobility, the Dominion honors strength. The old Sarantine proverb is quoted often, but in the Dominion it is sharpened into law: “Strength of an ox, cunning of the fox—lest the weak be ground beneath the iron.”
