Bridging The Dominion
"Then we have a deal?" - Some naive Governor
From: Lord Anairith
To: Governors of Perfidious, Viceroys of Perfidious
Subject: Dominion Supply & Demand
Governors and Viceroys,
As ever, our Dominion grows with its populations swelling and territories going through periods of taming and development. Each world's administrator no doubt has ambitions for what they wish to grow and nurture within their spheres to serve their own purposes, as is their right. However, taking the seat of governance over a world within our Dominion comes with responsibility and expectation, not just privilege.
All worlds within the Dominion serve a purpose and fill a vital need for the rest to grow. No world is self-sufficient and all depend on one another to truly thrive, grow and evolve. None are exempt from the Dominion's laws, regardless of local custom, regulation and identity - and its systems keep all its spaces intertwined and connected. Where the Dark Lord rules, the Governors and Viceroys manage his territories.
Growth necessitates change and adaptation, and it is each administrator's task and duty to keep records of their world's provisions and needs accurately up to date to ensure the continued efficiency of our logistical structures and the growth of the Dominion through its territories. All such records that already exist must be updated, and absentee records must be established.
All Governors and Viceroys are expected to comply and cooperate. Once provisions and needs are mapped out, it will guide efforts to bridge the gaps between the worlds with cooperation from their Governors and the direction and aid of the Seneschal.
- Lord Seneschal Anairith
The aim of this task is for each world to review their Imports & Exports primarily - what the planet provides the Dominion and what it needs from the Dominion to go around. No world is self sufficient. Every world produces something, provides something, and every world will need something in order to do so. You can expand on this into several categories, following the rough template provided below - each need or "dependency" creates roleplay between Governors and vantages for dealings and dynamic relationships between different Governorships and colonies. The items on the lists do not need to be backed up by factual or already existing assets on the world as they are more contingent on your worldbuilding and overarching intentions for your planets, as storytellers/planetary DMs.
- This task is open to Governors and Viceroys, regardless of rank.
- The task will run from now until all worlds have complied. If submissions take a long time, past November 20th, there may be IC consequences as the Seneschal and Dark Lord may be displeased.
- All submissions for this task are to be added to the planetary postings AND posted in this thread in the form of IC comms, detailing the updated listings of Imports & Exports (using the provided template) and any other facet you see fit to update to suit this task.
- The most immediate reward will be the roleplay created between the worlds, but also the promise of Seneschal points for compliant Governors to pursue either their own goals or to push the development of identified areas of industry on their worlds. Depending on promptness and inclusiveness of submissions, the Seneschal can offer up more rewarding relief.
| Major Exports (up to 3) | (Produced in large quantities, central to planetary economy and identity within the Dominion.) |
| Minor Exports (up to 5) | (Flavour and detail that flesh out the influence of the planet and its presence in markets, but not core to its identity.) |
| Major Imports (up to 3) | (Dependencies, necessary resources that cannot be produced locally and that the planet would struggle to function without.) |
| Minor Imports (up to 5) | (Non-essentials that are brought in for variety, comfort, and so on.) |
