Order of Dominion

The Order of Dominion was a branch of the Persian Order of the Ancients led by Amorges, a former member of the Persian elite. Unlike other branches, it had three Magi who served as Amorges' lieutenants: Gergis and twin brothers known only as "the Immortals".

History[edit | edit source]

The Order of Dominion served as the leading branch of the Order for centuries, assisting the Persian kings in subverting various nations and expanding their power. By the reign of King Artaxerxes I, the branch was led by Amorges, a former member of the Persian elite.^[1]

During the Peloponnesian War between Sparta and Athens, the Order took advantage of the conflict and were deployed to Messenia, Greece, where they attempted to consolidate power amongst the chaos. Using the region as their stronghold, the Order allied with the Spartan army against the Athenians and purchased siege weapons from the Cult of Kosmos.^[1]

After their fellow branches, the Order of Hunters and the Order of the Storm, failed to eliminate Darius, his son Natakas, and the misthios Kassandra, Amorges personally led the branch in an attack on the trio's home in Dyme, Achaia. There, the Ancients managed to kill Natakas and kidnap his and Kassandra's son Elpidios, despite Kassandra killing several of their men and the Immortals. However, this provoked the misthios and Darius into seeking revenge by traveling to Messenia^[1] and killing the branch's remaining members,^[2] including Amorges. Before his death, Amorges reconciled with Darius, his old friend, by revealing the location of Elpidios on an island south of Messenia.^[3]
