'''Dominion''' is a blade-wielding, hound-summoning school of abilities purloined from the [[chivalry|chivalric]] traditions of traditional knighthood for the use of [[Chaos]] warriors. The spread of the skill compasses taming the hounds of [[Lycantha]], mastering the various types of [[bow]]s, and an assortment of aggressive supplemental battle abilities ranging from howling or engaging an unlucky opponent and boosting one's prowess with the fury of the eldritch horror.
|godname = Thoth, the Lord of Death
 
|realm = [[Death]]
The skill of '''Dominion''' is available to members of the [[Unnamable]] [[class]], although it shares most of its arts with [[Valour]], [[Discipline]], and [[Malignity]] skills of [[Paladin]]s, [[Runewardens]], and [[Infernals]]. Like the other warrior-classes, Unnamables train in [[Weaponmastery]], but the eldritch skill of [[Anathema (skill)|Anathema]] is unique to them.

|symbols = A [[soaring vulture]], a large [[willow tree]], a [[black flame]]

|detail=The hungering hounds of Lycantha are a gift to each of the Unnamables of Ashtan, part of the great pact between Imperator Glaaki and the Seat of Chaos.
Your hound comes to you with assorted statistics which have been randomly assigned.<br>
If you cause your hound to die, you will be refused another hound.
There is absolutely no excuse for killing or conspiring to kill your hound.<br>

HOUND FLEE : Set the amount of health remaining when your hound will flee battle.<br>
HOUND SLEEP    : Order your hound to sleep.<br>
HOUND FEED RAT  : Feed the corpses of rats to your hound.<br>
As your hound gains in
* Stamina:  its health will increase.
* Speed: it will attack more quickly as well as move from place to place
* Strength: it will attack with more power.
You will gain other abilities later on that are related to your hound.
You must visit Lycantha on the Chaos Plane to request your hound.

'''Thoth, the Endbringer''' was the [[Elder Gods|Elder God]] known as the Inevitable, Lord of Souls, Master of [[Death]], and Guardian of the Soulrealms. Thoth was slain by Prince [[Slith]], Lord of the Undead Legions in the year 715 AF.

}}


He was reputed to be a reclusive and bitter deity, aloof in all things mortal. He served as Guardian, Caretaker, and Collector of the Souls of the dead. The Lord of Death greeted all departed souls and leads them into the eternal realms of the Soul. Being neither Evil nor Good in nature, the Lord of Death accepted all mortal souls into His realms regardless of their actions in those brief preparatory moments called "life."

Those that would gain His attention by causing needless destruction and loss of life would find themselves ill-served. He cares not for such ways. The souls of lives that are cut short do not benefit Him nor His Realms, and those who cause these things to come about will earn His emnity. As in life, that fleeting, uncertain preliminary to all who enter the realms of Lord Thoth, so too in death there must be purpose.
{{Skill_detail

|lessons=

|detail=This ability is an improved version of the follow ability. With track, even if the hound temporarily loses its target, because the target went indoors, it will continue to follow the target once the target comes back outside.
}}


Lord Thoth intended that all living complete the full and unavoidably brief terms appointed to their lives, secure in the inevitable reality that they will all come to face Him. One who lives a full life will leave his mortal coil with no regrets, embarking on the final journey with Him to the Soulrealms. According to Thoth, mortals should heed this warning and live each day as though it were their last.
{{Skill_detail

{{Skill_detail
|skill=Scent
|description=Sniff out victims.
|lessons=
|syntax=HOUND SCENT

}}


== The Qui'anar ==
{{Skill_detail
While Lord Thoth cared not for matters of mortal consequence, He spent some of His vast attention on a group of mortals that He called His children. His Order was known as the [[Qui'anar]], in honour of the original Qui'anar that fell on [[Nishnatoba]] during the [[War of Humanity]]. A cult of assassins, warriors, priests, and prophets, they served to further His influence. Also of note amongst His followers were the hired killers of the [[Quisalis Mark]]. While cloaked in mystery and intrigue, His realm was clear to those who followed Him. Many questions were answered by the souls of the dead.
|skill=Evolution
|description=A superior state of being.
|lessons=
|syntax=HOUND EVOLUTION
|required= 10% karma
|target=
|cooldown=
|detail=As you shall achieve the transcendent state of being, it is only

sufficient application of karma you can somewhat overcome this lack.<br>

The Lord of Death is represented by the image of a soaring vulture, a large willow tree, and a black flame.

|target=Adventurers

|detail=There is nothing more despicable and dishonourable than a coward, and this ability will allow you to punish cowards, as is their due.

|skill=Fury
|description=Temporarily raise your strength.
|lessons=
|syntax=FURY [ON/OFF]<br>RELAX FURY
|required=
|target=Self
|cooldown=2.00 seconds of equilibrium
|detail=This will allow you to temporarily raise your strength with 2 points, for no more than a total of 1/4th of each Achaean day. It can be used once a day without cost, but if you turn it off and turn it back on within the same Achaean day, you will incur a cost of 500 willpower each time you turn it back on. Your endurance losses will be significantly higher while Fury is active.
