Domainlands

The Domainlands ,or The Royal Domain, is a constituent region of the Kingdom of Aqoris. Unlike the other 5 regions which are ruled by a Warden (Lord Protector of The Marshes for the Marshes), the Domainlands is directly ruled by the monarch on the Bear Throne in the city of Newcastle, the largest city in the Kingdom and the capital city. 
People from the Domainlands are called Domainers. 
== History ==
The Domainlands were founded by Barden Boyce as they were never a region before. The other three original groups (Borderlands were invaded much later and under the control of The Alba) were sovereign Kingdoms, the Domainlands were simply several, disunited houses in a state of weakness, being contested between the Kingdom of The Hills (present region of The North) and the Kingdom of Fields (present-day Southlands). Barden Boyce founded the city of Newcastle and his House, establishing control over the region and allying with the other houses in the region and creating new ones, such as House Knigh. He formed the Domainlands and then began his Foundation War to form the Kingdom of Aqoris. 
It is the newest of the regions on Aqoris (up until the invasion of the Borderlands), and as a result, does not have much of a distinct "cultural identity", so much as it is shaped by its distinction as the region containing the capital city and the region where House Boyce originates from.
The Domainlands have been ruled over by House Boyce and the Kings of The North for four centuries.
