LORE INFORMATION

The Veiled Dominion is a vast and all-encompassing empire that rules the world of Eclipsara with an iron grip, using gifted individuals known as Eldershrouds as their enforcers and agents. Despite their outward stability and control, their rule is steeped in secrecy, deception, and eldritch influence.

The Dominion was founded centuries ago after a great cosmic event some say a rift in reality, others claim a divine revelation, when the ruling elite first made contact with The Umbral Matron, an eldritch goddess who whispered forbidden knowledge to them. In exchange for their servitude, she bestowed upon them her divine favor, granting them the power to shape the world in her image.

At the head of the Dominion sits the Veiled Sovereign, an eternal ruler whose identity is unknown to all but a select few. Some believe the Sovereign is a single entity who has lived for eons, while others whisper that the title is passed down through secret rituals, where the next ruler absorbs the memories and essence of their predecessor. Beneath them is the Council of the Shrouded, a group of high-ranking officials and power users who serve as the true architects of the empire, enforcing the will of the Matron.


The Revenants are not just a resistance group, t\hey are a legend, whispered in the dark corners of Eclipsara. They are the ones who refused to die, the ones who returned from oblivion to strike at the heart of The Veiled Dominion. Some say they are former Eldershrouds, agents of the Dominion who uncovered the truth and rebelled. Others believe they are those who perished but were resurrected by an unknown force, perhaps even a rival to the The Veiled Dominion herself.

Their mission is clear: to tear the Dominion down from the inside and break the eldritch chains that bind the world. However, their methods are ruthless, and even those who oppose the Dominion fear what the Revenants may become.

The Renegades are not a group in the traditional sense. They are individuals who reject all forms of control, including the Dominion's and the resistance’s authority. Their philosophy is based on the belief that freedom is the highest form of existence, and to achieve it, one must be unbound by any laws, gods, or allegiances. They see themselves as agents of chaos, doing as they please without concern for the consequences. Their motives are often personal, fueled by selfish desires, vendettas, or the need for self-determination.

The Renegades are anti-heroes, meaning they might fight against the Dominion or any other oppressive force but are willing to use any means necessary, including violence, manipulation, and deception. They do not seek fame or to lead a cause; they seek freedom above all.
