Etymology

The “Domain” is derived from the Mongon term for a possessed section of land. The Golden portion refers to the Aureoloth, which rule it. Some translations thus render it as “The holdings of the Aureoloth(Golden People)” instead. Within the state, it is often simply referred to as “the Domain”.

History

The ancestors of the inhabitants of the modern Golden Domain arrived on sparkalia in the latter half of the 1300s. Hailing from the rogue planet of Mongo, they were sent off, but are now cut off from Mongo, as the planet drifted away. ...

Demographics

Population

When counting the population of the Domain, only Mongons are taken into account. Thus the population recorded only reflects that of the Aureoloth, Doceoloth, and both Sweoloth combined. The Yfelian are treated as if they are animals in the census, and thus not counted at all.

The majority of the Mongons are Sweoloth, falling into either Sceon, commonly known as the Winged People, or Craeftiga, commonly known as the Maned People. The Aureoloth are a ruling extreme minority, while the Dóceoloth are in between in both general status and population. In theory the Sweoloth reproduce at double the rate of the Aureoloth, and the Dóceoloth at triple the Aureoloth’s rate, but the Dóceoloth commonly avoid conception, thus reducing their population growth greatly.

Culture

In general, the culture of the Domain is split into 2.5 groups. The 1.5 represents that of the Sweoloth and Aureoloth, who have similar cultural views, but differ in some ways. The latter portion is that of the Dóceoloth, who differ far more radically. The Sweoloth and Aureoloth are generally very traditionalist in leaning, while the Dóceoloth seek to do whatever seems right to them.

Religion

The society of the Domain is fairly religious, with the Sweoloth and Aureoloth both being very pious. Even the Dóceoloth often are at least somewhat reverent, even if only to look better to the rest of the Domain.

They worship Atol/Tao, who created them upon Mongo. On the side, they sometimes hold Meolce/Mongo in reverence, but they do not praise her with nearly as much frequency or fervency as they do Atol/Tao. The general attitude towards Tao is a mix of awe and fear, from which the denoter of Atol is derived. Mongo, after whom the planet is named, receives her denoter of Meolce due to being seen as more of a secondary, nursing, figures, compared to Tao’s more active role.
