Domaison

Domaison (historically referred to as Coillefearann; now mostly by old-fashioned Gothr) is a state in Elyrium, located to the southwest of Elyria and south of Gothmaer. The region is the native homeland of the Serfus, which comprise a majority of its population. Its capital city is Giuseppe, located at the nation's southeastern tip.

History
The region of Domaison has been the home of the Serfus since pre-recorded history, along with much of what is, as of the Fourth Age, Gothmaer and Elyria. During ancient times, groups of Fetsch, feline peoples who would ultimately become the Gothr, having arrived in Gothmaer by boat, began to make their way south into the region, including parts of north Domaison, west Elyria and Gothmaer. For a time, the groups seemingly got along relatively peacefully, but as their numbers grew, clashes between the Fetsch and tribal groups of Serfus became more and more common over resources and land.

Corrad Goille, a revered swordsman and powerful mage said to be blessed by Fae (Feih in their tongue), whom the Fetsch/Gothr consider(ed) their matron goddess, rose to power amongst a group of the Fetsch people in Elyrium and used the constant warring with various groups of Serfus to unite them, formally creating the state that would eventually come to be the kingdom of Gothmaer. He began claiming that the land west of the Innean River belonged to the Gothr, and it was their right, as he alleged was given by Feih herself, to rule. It was during this time and under Corrad's leadership that the Gothr came to see Domaison and southern portions of now-Gothmaer not yet in their control as Coillefearann, or The Southlands.

After campaigns leading to the capture of over half of Domaison, including the destruction of much of its once-capital, Prumiaguesse, the Gothr founded a new city from which to govern the region, Demagandarys.

Decades passed with the Serfus mostly defeated and subjugated with harsh and cruel treatment from their Gothr masters, until finally, having witnessed the suffering of those faithful to him and hearing their pleas, the god Biacus, or as they knew him, Biexeau, took pity on the Serfus and, when the time was right, delivered to them a champion. With the Gothr focusing their efforts on the Zunaakhi to the north, they were completely unprepared for the massive uprising of the peoples they deemed to be nothing more than broken slaves. Led by Bergeaux Venjour, who was said to have descended from the heavens, the Serfus slaughtered the Gothr inhabiting their land, and managed to push them back into modern day Gothmaer in a series of battles and bloodshed known as the Great Uprising. Before allegedly ascending once more, he granted his blade to Armel of Somais and named him king of Domaison with Biacus's blessing.
