Arch-Domini
The Arch-Domini were the ruling class of the imposing and cruel Agloraxi Empire, a magocratic state that once ruled over much of the central and eastern regions of the Great Parch.[1a]
History
Age of Myth
The death of Vulcatrix brought much fertility and prosperity to the Great Parch and as centuries passed many tribal peoples, empires, and kingdoms from far-flung lands came to lay claim to the lands of the Great Parch. Among the greatest of these was the magocratic Agloraxi Empire, ruled over by the infamous Arch-Domini.[1a]
The Arch-Domini were obsessed with arcane might, creating many wonders and infamous weapons with their magic. Such wonders include the flying city of Ahramentia, the mountain-sized Colossi, and the dread Prismatikon. For many centuries those without the ability to use magic, and those with the ability that refused to join them, were enslaved by the Arch-Domini.[1a]
Eventually the tyranny of the Arch-Domini grew more lax, once the powerful mages grew bored of their empire building and grand projects. Some of the Arch-Domini embraced and joined the cultures they once ruled, but most retreated to Ahrementia. Without their direct stewardship, much of the empire decayed, allowing other powers to grow in their place such as the Bataari and the Aspirians, powerful nations whose cities were ruled by councils of wizards far more benevolent than the Arch-Domini.[1a]
Age of Chaos
The Arch-Domini stood defiantly against the hordes of Khorne and directed their greatest weapon, the Prismatikon, to wipe out a massive legion of the Blood God's faithful without spilling a drop of blood. In his fury Khorne manifested a fist into Aqshy and punched the city of Ahramentia, sending it crashing into the ground below.[1a]
Age of Sigmar
The empire built by the Arch-Domini is now little more than ruins, their greatest works left nonoperational. The remains of their great city of Ahramentia lays scattered all across the Flamescar Plateau, their Citadels lay abandoned, and the Arch-Domini themselves were seemingly all wiped out.[1a]
Still many shift through the remains of their empire seeking to re-activate the wonders built by the mage-elite of the Agloraxi Empire.[1a]
