Heleg Dominion

The Heleg Dominion is one of the original noble families of Haliur. They are in charge of the judiciary courts throughout Haliur.

The Heleg Dominion owns no lands on Iross but, is given the revenue gathered from the fines of lawbreakers..

The Heleg Dominion is allied with the Stonewarden Dominion with the goal of stabilizing the nation of Haliur. They work together to maintain law and order throughout the nation. The other Dominions have always praised and claimed to value Heleg's actions. However, as few members of the Heleg Dominion have the Ability, the Heleg Dominion has suffered from loss of political significance over the past few generations.

The Heleg Dominion is currently at odds with the Durstrung and Sharpcoast Dominions. Both Dominions generally operate outside of Haliur laws.

Before the hunt
The Heleg Dominion had control of the judiciary courts before the Hunt. When the idea of the hunt was put forward, Ilithor volunteered his dominion’s army to the aid of the High Lord Waerloghe.

During the hunt
The Heleg Dominion was one of three Dominions who completely supported the Hunt. The success of the Hunt was only marred by the fact that Ilithor's High Lord and friend Harold Waerloghe had vanished in the last battle and could not be found.

After the hunt
The success of the Hunt gave the Heleg Dominion a needed boost in popularity. This was gained at the price of further decline in political significance as the Heleg Dominion stepped into the role of permanent judiciary family, too the point of changing their crest to include crossed gavels.

Currently
The Heleg Dominion is currently allied with the Stonewarden Dominion by marriage of Ilithor’s sister Amara to Lord Cyran Stonewarden.
