Hartguard Dominion

The Hartguard Dominion is one of the original noble families of Haliur. They are in charge of producing and distributing weapons and armor to the cities of Haliur. The Hartguard Dominion also own mines in the Red Mountains northeast of the Cerrarian lands. This gives them the privilege and power of having the only copper mines not controlled by Paldor.

The Hartguard Dominion is allied with the Rothwing and Frosthope Dominions with the goal of spreading the faith and eventually converting all of Iross.

The Hartguard Dominion is currently at odds with the Blackren, Coppercaster and Farrowsmere Dominions. They do not agree with their competition.

Before the hunt
The Hartguard Dominion wholeheartedly opposed the creation of the new Dominions. They believed that their addition would disable the balance of power. In this they were in complete opposition to most of the other Dominions. This cost them a loss of power among the old Dominions.

During the hunt
The loss of position and the grudge against the old Dominions led Hartguard to support the Hunt by offering Cyran Stonewarden and Harold Waerloghe the Hartguard armies.

After the hunt
The Hartguard Dominion claimed the success of the Hunt was do to the support of their armies and in response gained a small portion of their former prestige.

Currently
The Hartguard Dominion has been trying to gain support among the other Dominons to prepare to convince them to eliminate the position of High Lord of Haliur. [They seek to establish the Council of Light as the ruling force in Haliur.]
