Message: <blockquote data-quote="Remathilis" data-source="post: 8271009" data-attributes="member: 7635">Souragne got a paragraph. In it, it changed the nature of the power dynamic from slaves/servants to prisoners, which still keeps the involuntary labor but changes it from plantation to prison. They also change Anton's death from being dragged down from his betrayed lover to being drowned in the swamp during a prison riot due to the abuse he inflicted on the prisoners. He still rises up as a zombie and still ends up gaining control of his prison though necromancy and controlling the swamp.Personally, it all feels you could get a southern gothic feel there. Anton views himself a gentleman but is a sadist, and the first thing I imagined was a Green Mile like southern prison with chain gangs and the like. The voodoo element is very played down (though still hinted at, esp in Larissa Snownane's writeup) and the fact that the control he keeps over his people has moved from slavery to criminal incarceration can still be relevant if you did want to keep the race elements for whatever reason. It's still a Domain of zombies and swamps and gators, it just changed the nature of the human bondage. It was the best they could do in one paragraph, but if you must keep plantation slavery as an important part of the domain, I guess nothing was going to save it.</blockquote>
