Bestiary

The creatures of darkness that serve the Dominion - spawned from the corruption of the Anguish Stone.

"Every nightmare you face was once something else. A guardian spirit. A healer. A soldier. The Anguish Stone doesn't create monsters-it transforms victims into weapons."

War Council Briefing

The creatures that serve Alassa's Dominion are not natural beings. They are manifestations of the Dark Titan's lingering will, given form by the Anguish Stone. Understanding their origins is essential to defeating them.

Pre-Dominion Creatures

Before reaching the Dominions, warriors must first survive their homeland and the war-torn Breach. These areas contain their own unique threats:

Homeland Paths (Levels 1-25)

Each race faces creatures unique to their homeland:

Path	Race	Theme	Creatures
Meridia	Humans	Corrupted wildlife, bandits	Rabid Wolf, Corrupted Boar, Shadow Bandit
Lythora	Lilin	Nightmare fey	Nightmare Sprite, Twisted Dryad, Root Wraith
Redmire	Darkan	Volcanic constructs	Slag Golem, Forge Wraith, Magma Spawn
Lumeria	Luminar	Shadow-tainted light	Fading Wisp, Eclipsed Seraph, Void Touched

Convergence & Breach (Levels 20-35)

Where all paths meet and the true war begins:

Zone	Level	Key Creatures
Convergence	20-28	Despair Shade, Corrupted Refugee
The Breach	26-35	Corrupted Soldier, Battlefield Wraith

Note

The Fallen Guardian (Convergence) and The Gatekeeper (Breach) serve as skill checks before entering Dominion content. All pre-Dominion creatures are documented in Hostile Creatures and Elite Creatures.

The Nature of Corruption

When the Void Titan and Dark Titan destroyed each other in The Anguish, their clash released energy that still permeates reality. The Anguish Stone-a crystallized fragment of that primordial rage-allows Alassa to channel this power, creating and corrupting creatures of immense strength.

Warning

Every creature in the Dominion exists because of the Anguish Stone. Destroying Alassa would sever their connection to this power-but until then, they are bound to her will.

The Five Dominions

Each of the Five Dominions is ruled by a General-beings shaped by the Anguish Stone into commanders of nightmare armies. The creatures under each General reflect their master's nature:

Dominion	General	Theme
Dreadmar Frontier	Vharun	Fire, volcanic corruption, twisted guardians
Mire of Whispers	Saelistra	Grief, psychic attacks, memory manifestations
Stonegrave Expanse	Kharagul	Hunger, regeneration, Titan bone constructs
Eclipse Barrens	Morgathis	Despair, eclipse energy, faith erosion
Hall of Fallen	Cassian	Emptiness, fallen champions, dimensional instability

Monster Classifications

All creatures in the Dominion follow standardized threat classifications:

Type	HP	Damage	Rewards
Hostile	1x	Low	Standard drops
Elite	3x	2x	Better drops
Apex	5x	3x	Rare guaranteed
Area Boss	15x	5x	Unique area drops
Dominion Boss	50x+	Raid-level	Legendary drops

Note

The five Dominion Generals (Vharun, Saelistra, Kharagul, Morgathis, Cassian) are Dominion Boss encounters requiring full raid parties. Area Bosses are giant versions of creatures that guard key locations within each dominion.

Combat Mechanics

Dominion creatures deal either Physical or Magic damage:

Damage Type	Mitigated By	Creature Examples
Physical	Physical Defense	Melee brutes, beasts, soldiers
Magic	Magic Resistance	Casters, spirits, manifestations

Note

Build your defenses accordingly: stack Physical Defense (VIT) against brutes and melee creatures, or Magic Resistance (SPR) against casters and spirits.

Combat Strategies

General Principles

Know Your Enemy - Check if creatures deal Physical or Magic damage
Build Defenses - Stack Physical Defense or Magic Resistance as needed
Target Low Defenses - Most magic creatures have low Physical Defense
Manage Resources - Longer fights in deeper zones; conserve mana

Class Advantages

Class	Best Zone	Reason
Warrior	Stonegrave	High Physical Defense, sustained damage
Paladin	Eclipse	Balanced defenses, group support
Mage	Dreadmar	High Magic damage vs low Magic Res
Cleric	Mire	Healing sustain, Magic Resistance
Ranger	Hall	Mobility, Physical damage at range

The Path Forward

To reach Alassa at the Throne of Ruin, all five Dominions must be conquered in sequence. Each General must fall before the next territory opens.

Valoryn → Dreadmar → Mire → Stonegrave → Eclipse → Hall → Throne of Ruin
