But now a new menace arises from the ashes of the old wars. Chaos spreads across the land, as Dominions mysterious magical energy is evolving, Threatening Draconian and Non-Draconian alike. These are desperate times, and the land is on the break of all out war. That is where you come in.... adventurers... mercenaries.... heroes. The land falls to you now. What you decide to do with Dominion is upto you. Destroy the corruption, or use it... give in to the Draconians or fight for Supremacy. This land is yours now... you have only to claim it from the clutches of the most powerful being in all of the realm of Mystas. If you can.

What is Dominion?

Dominion is the most northern portion of the realm known as Mystas. Mystas is one of many forgotten realms, and one of higher than normal magical concentration. The magic of Mystas chooses who claims this power, ascending some mortals to godhood and leaving others with nothing. Dominion is ruled by a tyrannical Elder Dragon known as Apothus, who rules a people called the Draconians. Dominion was a sanctuary for all Draconic races, but once discovered by the other races of Mystas lead to many bloody and lengthy wars, most recently with the humans and half-human races. Many questions plague this land. Where did Apothus come from? Why is he so against sharing his land with others? Why is there so much magical concentration in Dominion? And why has it become corrupted?

The Dragon War

The 5th Era ended with the death of the human king Elrich. He began a war with Apothus after the dragon refused to grant him the title of ruler of Dominion. This event lead to his death and the primary event of the campaign... The Dragon War. While the events of Elrichs death 105 years ago are a mystery to all... what is known is that the event changed the magical nature of Dominion and a Chaotic magic now sweeps the land. Whether related to the dragons or not, it has become a major problem for everyone.

Chaos Reigns

The High Magical Concentration of Dominion has drawn in many over the years. Some for study and some for conquest, But after Elrichs death the land became soaked in a dark energy of mysterious origin, infecting the minds and bodies of everyone in Dominion. It has yet to alter the magical connection to the rest of Mystas but many have since been hired out of concerns it may spread. The corrupted magic causes madness in some, insane concentrations of magical ability in others, and even sightings of strange beings from other worlds.
