The Celestial Dominion
In the shattered world of Thalassara, the gods are not distant, benevolent rulers, but powerful, often capricious entities who watch over existence from their cosmic thrones. This pantheon is known as the Celestial Dominion, a group of divine beings who embody the fundamental forces of the cosmos, from war and love to the very balance of life and death. Bound by a fragile cosmic pact, they rarely intervene directly in the affairs of mortals. Instead, they influence fate through omens, fleeting visions, and the rare, potent pacts they forge with those bold enough to seek their favor. To the people of Thalassara, prayer is a sailor's last hope in a storm, a gambler's plea for luck, and a warrior's blood-oath to a merciless god.
