The Chainspire Dominion is a ruthless empire built on conquest and control. Its war machine thrives on enslaving Shardkin—beings born of Wake corruption—and bending them into living weapons. Through biome-forged technology and suppression gear, the Dominion strips Shardkin of autonomy, chaining their power to the will of its generals. Its cities rise like iron spires across scarred landscapes, fortified against rebellion and brimming with armies that march under banners of domination.

​

At the heart of this tyranny lies a cold philosophy: “Power belongs to the strong. Control belongs to the wise.” To the Dominion, Shardkin are not people—they are tools, forged for war and discarded when broken. Biomes are plundered for resources, their essence mined and weaponized to fuel endless campaigns. Dominars command battalions, Binders craft the chains of control, and Collectors hunt rogue Shardkin across the Wakes. In the Dominion’s eyes, freedom is weakness, and strength is measured in chains.
