The Ruler from the Underworld who rules over Death; The Ruthless One who presides over blood and battle; the Kingmaker and Kingdevourer.This one is typically used before important battles.”

“I don’t know if I’d like for you to get this domain,” she murmurs. “It sounds so...angry.”

I chuckle. “Yeah, I wouldn’t like that either.”

The next one is the Possession Domain.

Ownership, accumulation, and control of objects.

The wielder may claim external items as extensions of the self. Weapons respond as if bound by will. Metal and crafted artifacts become malleable under direct influence. With progression, ownership extends beyond the physical—into the conceptual.

The Possession Primordial is seen as the overseer of all metallurgical crafts.

His main prayers are:

He who wields the Iron Fist; He who blesses the river of silver; The Creator and the Craft.

The Master of all and nothing; the pinnacle of all Creation; the One Whose hands hold Marvels.

The next one is the Shadow Domain.

Imitation, theft, and distortion of external strength.

Abilities may be replicated temporarily through contact or observation. Shadows act as both medium and extension.Advanced users may siphon talent, weakening the original source.

Moe goes quiet for a moment. “That one feels… wrong.”

“I wonder what it means byshadows act as both medium and extension.Is it talking about minions?”

“It sounds like it. What are the prayers like for the Shadow Primordial?”

“He who holds the Threads, the Puppetmaster in the shadows, the hidden Overlord.

There’s only one for him. Odd.”

I don’t dwell too much on it, though, as we move to the next domain.

Dream Domain.

Stillness, illusion, and the boundary between consciousness and sleep.

The wielder may induce sleep states, paralysis, or immersive illusions. Targets lose distinction between reality and fabrication. Time perception may be altered within constructed dreamscapes.

Moe lets out a slow breath. “That’s terrifying.”

“Another one I don’t think I’d like toeverencounter.”

The prayers of the Dream Primordial are:

Master of Illusions; He who wields Nightmare, the Danger you don’t see coming.

He who Witnesses all; the Page of Hidden Desires.

Page of Hidden Desires? That’s an odd one. It must also have something to do with dreams.

I turn to the last domain of the first section.

“Temptation Domain,” I read on. “Influence over desire, attraction, and emotional bonds.”
