DOMINUS, THE STEEL TREE
One of the lesser-known Great Trees that connect this world to others, Dominus is rumored to be rooted in the heart of the Barrows of Qil’Var. This massive mangrove tree still holds green leaves, but its trunk and exposed root structure are made entirely of adamantine, one of the world’s strongest metals. The complex arching roots of Dominus imply that it used to be submerged in a lake despite its desert environment. Scholars believe the tree could have moved during the Final Hour, rooting itself in the most chaotic region of the world where the Final Hour originated in an effort to add balance to the Barrows.
Dominus is the tether that ties Verra to Civilization, the World of Total Order. As a result, many lost souls have gathered to form The Inexorable Order, a devout group worshipping the Knights of Civilization. They gather within the roots of Dominus, praying for one of the Knights to appear before them, giving them purpose and order. They receive commands from within the tree and set out upon the Barrows, hoping to one day cleanse the land of its chaos.
