The Dominion of House Arana
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 Age of Nations.
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 [1]
With the exception of the brief rebellion by Nalia Arana-Forzaantirilys (700-705 AoE) the Dominion saw an unpresceneted 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 it's 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]
