Reference overview

Overview

Emrys, the Dragon God

Description

Emrys is unique among the Power Nine because he entered history directly during the Drakkuskan War. Dominionists treat his prophecies not as predictions, but instructions to be forced into being. Titian's Journal is one of the strongest artifact-style sources for how the threat of Emrys's return felt to travelers, students, and later Centrum figures.^[3]

Power proves worth

Description

Dominionism teaches that strength, command, magical force, bloodline, ambition, and conquest are signs of divine selection. Mercy is treated as a weakness that lets the unworthy obstruct destiny.^[4]

Flame marks, trials, sermons, and oaths

Description

Rites include Flame-Calling, Trial of Scales, Ascendant Sermons, Ember Oaths, and Hatchling Rites in dragonborn sects.^[5]

Flamebound Order, Chosen Lineage, Ember Church

Description

Major branches include the Flamebound Order, Chosen Lineage, Crimson Pulpit, Ember Church, Pureblood Creed, Flame Evangelicals, Pyre Ascendants, and Silent Fang.^[6]

Preparing for Emrys's return

Description

Dominionism now hides inside training circles, bloodline clubs, prison ministries, frontier defense leagues, prophecy study groups, and other movements promising strength after chaos.^[7]
