The Second Dominion was an attempt at a confederation among certain entities of the archipelago, led under a single Sovereign. At its height, it incorporated the Free Port of Wharftown, the Duchy of Sencliff, the Archduchy of Minmir, and the Emirate of Sibayad. Despite these extensive holdings, it lasted for only a couple of years (though, by Arelithian standards, this isn't insignificant). Its name derives from its status as a purposeful successor state to the Dominion, a federation of Guldorand, Bendir and Wharftown involving one or two of the same individuals some decades prior. The Second Dominion is markedly different as an imperial series of holdings under one Sovereign, as opposed to the First Dominion's more communal approach, without a single head of state.
