The Dominion of House Arana was a Post-Demonic Empire established in Year 0 of the Age of Elves by Primarch Minanen after the banishment of the Demon Lords and the Crowning of The Dragon Primarch. The Dominion included all of the territories in the Gaian Basin, Worldwound Mountains, and parts of the Theloniki Plains. From here it continued for 5,000 years until it was dissolved in the First Year of Liberation during the wider 8th War of Liberation. The Fall of The Dominion is considered the end of the wider Age of Kings and the start of the Age of Nations. [1]

The Dominion had rapidly expanded after the Birth Of Dragons and at first under Primarch Minanen in the First Crusade until her death in 100 AoE. After this, her daughter the Primarch Araden along with her four other sisters began the "Crusade Of The Five Sisters" from 100 AoE to 600 AoE. Here the modern borders of the Dominion were established along with the creation of the Viceroyalty System wherein parts of the Dominion were split between the daughters of Minanen Arana under the rulership of a central Primarch elected by the Viceroyals and the capital set in the city of Skywatch

With the exception of the brief rebellion by Nalia Arana-Forzaantirilys (700-705 AoE), the Dominion saw an unprecedented growth in what is known as the Reign Of The Divine Primarch from 800-1,200 AoE under the Primarch Calmine Arana-Durxaviinox. However, after her death in 1,200 AoE, the Dominion experienced its slow decline first in the Reign of both Hideleth Arana-Durxaviinox and Halion Arana-Yserthrax during the period from 1,200 AoE to 1,500 AoE known as the Reign Of The Twin Primarchs. Which started the decline of the Dominion via a steady eroding of central power. [2]

From there the Dominion suffered from repeated rebellions by its human subjects as steadily the central authority of the Primarch until finally in 4,800 AoE the Century Of No Rulership occurred where all five Viceroyals could not agree on a new Primarch to ascend the throne. While not uncommon the throne being vacant for so long threw the Dominion first into stagnation and finally into outright war in the Viceroyal War from 4,900 to 5,000 AoE. This conflict along with the 8th War of Liberation culminated in the end of the Dominion in Year 0 of the Age of Nations and the crowning of the human Empress Shi Hui and the Hui Imperial Dynasty. [3]

Given the length of rule the Dominion has influenced almost every aspect of life in Creation's Cradle. Middle Aged High-Elven spread through out the Dominion and mixed with Common Human. The sacrifice of humans helped created the Cult of The Seven Saints along with the advacement of Arcana propelled magical studies. The practice of Viceroyalty also was the foundation for the Hui Council of Lords and later the Republican Parliment. [4]In regards to arts and culture this proved minimal in it's influence as the expulsion of High Elves during the Hui Dynasty resulted in the destruction of most Dominion art pieces not moved with the expulsion though traces of it can be found in Hui Dynasty architecture and within the former terriority of the High Kinlands of Arana[5]
