The Iron Dominion

A Feudal sovereign state where the Nobility are an elite warrior-caste who rule over swathes of land, and commit their workers and soldiers in service of the King or Queen. Combat and skill in warfare is highly prized and Nobility is attainable by a non-noble by fighting in great tournaments held every few years. Any slight or issue can be resolved with a Duel in the Iron Dominion, Noble families often drill or train in a specific style or type of combat.

The Iron Dominion played a major role in keeping the armies of fiends, undead and monsters unleashed by the Silvermask at bay. They spared no thought to sending troops all over Stridia in defence of their national rivals, and whilst this resulted in terrible losses for their soldiers, their army remains one of the greatest and strongest thanks to its elite noble officers, training and experience.

The legendary hero Imeyel (The Princess) is the current acting Regent of the Iron Dominion until King Eldis turns of age. Her rule has been fair and just, but many Noble’s worry she will not relinquish her power when the time comes. Her strained relationship with the Autumn Court of Ivoralis has also caused diplomatic issues.

The Iron Dominion has a larger number of Humans, Half-Elves, Half-Orcs, Halflings, and Tieflings. Though most races can be found there, they are unlikely to be of Noble blood.
