Tribe of Dominae
A brutal yet disciplined faith: might proves worth. Centered on Dominus, a legendary warrior said to have once been mortal, who gained godhood through unmatched strength and battlefield honor.
Origin
Through unmatched strength and battlefield honor, Dominus gained the attention of The Creator, who rewarded him with godhood. Upon ascension, Dominus was granted the form of a bipedal Lion God, embodying the strength and majesty of the jungle’s most feared predator.

Honor Code
- Battles must be fought under agreed terms
- When a tribe member dies, each survivor carves a scar into their own flesh as a mark of failure for not protecting their comrade
- Those exiled receive a deep slash across the back — the mark of ultimate shame, symbolizing a warrior who turned their back on battle
