[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8273080, member: 6915329"] By law, all nonhumans--and as of 3e, all humans who weren't Aryan enough--are to be captured and enslaved as soon as they enter the domain. That's going to suck hugely for nearly every single party of adventurers. And it's an just a [I]depressing [/I]domain; I remember a line from the Gazetteer about "S" seeing a giant pile of dead babies just stacked up and rotting, because nobody cared enough or had enough energy to actually bury them. Plus, y'know. Nazi domain. Personally, I would have had Drakov get killed in an ironic manner (maybe one of his hawks attacked him) and had the Darklord-ship pass to the heads of his various ministries, who then effectively cause the domain to implode due to infighting between departments, at which point other domains would swoop in with their own armies... but that's a lot more political than they probably wanted to go. From what I read, one of the hags turned on the others, which seems more like this is an evolution of the domain than revamping due to problems. No different than there being an uprising against Duke Gundar which "killed" him and caused his domain to be absorbed by the surrounding ones. After all, the hags didn't like each other; it was only a matter of time before their relationship broke down. Dominic's main shtick is mass mind control and being absolutely desperate for women. If you're the type of DM who wants the Darklords to play an important part in any particular adventure, then that means that any female PC is at risk of becoming his victim. It doesn't matter that he's not depicted as a rapist per se; they likely thought it was better to not take the risk. There's also only so long you can continue the stalemate between Dominic and The Brain without one of them getting the axe. Personally, I have a feeling I'm going to pull a Borca and split the domain between him and the new DL, or perhaps just rename the new Dementlieu and keep them both (my choice of names is Asile, meaning asylum). He was tattooed with symbols of femininity to mock him. No matter what you want to make his sexuality or gender identity, that's not cool. It looks like they might not have been defined after all. And I plan on ignoring that section completely. And yet, that was likely the case. I think [/QUOTE]
