====== EA Abysia, Children of Flame======
=====Lore=====
Abysia does not have any clear inspirational sources. Malign devil-worshiping empires of the fantasy
genre combined with some ancient Middle Eastern concepts, perhaps. Think of great temple ziggurats
adorned with ever-burning braziers fed with still-beating hearts in pompous ceremonies, witnessed by
a cowed populace of slaves and smoldering Abysian rulers. Imagine magma-lit caverns filled with
screams, roars, and fleeting shadows. With blood sacrifices being part of the official state cult, it might
be considered an evil nation, but it is sprung from elemental forces and only under the infernal influence‒
and ignorance‒does the kingdom turn to evil. It is a tragic nation with a proud heritage, and dilution of
their magic - perhaps due to temptation by infernal forces - leads it to embrace blood sacrifice. -Illwinter
Abysia is a hot wasteland, at the center of which lies a great volcano whose lava-lit caverns are inhabited by magma-born humanoids. Their flesh radiates heat, and they are not harmed by flames. Abysians are stronger than humans and use very heavy armor and weaponry. Bows are not used, as they would burn to cinders in the glowing hands of the Abysians. The war machine of Abysia also includes salamanders, lizard-like beings composed of the same hot lava-born flesh as the Abysians. The Anointed of Rhuax and the Anathemant Priests of the Flame Cult practice blood sacrifice to strengthen the power of the Awakening God. The Warlocks of the Smouldercone, a newly formed magical order, practice Blood magic and search for suitable blood slaves in conquered lands. Abysians prefer to live in extremely hot places. They do not farm or hunt for a living, so their income and supplies are not affected by the Growth or Death scale of a province. However, the population will still die slowly in Abysia-controlled provinces with Death scales.
Abysia is one of the original fourteen factions of the series, present in //Dominions: Priests, Prophets, and Pretenders//. The early version was made in //Dominions 3//, however, as an origin point; a way for players of [[abysia-ma|Middle]] Abysia (the faction closest to the Abysia of the first game) to see how they ended up where they were. On that note, [[abysia-la|Late]] Abysia has origins in //Dominions 2//.

====Recruit Access====
===Elements===
* {{path>F4}} on each ??Anointed of Rhuax?? (capital-only), {{path>F3}} on ??Anathemant Dragon??s off-capital
* No air magic
* No water magic
* {{path>E1}} on each ??Anathemant Dragon??
===Sorcery===
* {{path>S1}} on each ??Warlock?? (capital-only)
* No death magic
* No nature magic
* No glamour magic
===Rites===
* {{path>B2}} on each ??Warlock?? (capital-only)
* {{path>H3}} on each ??Anointed of Rhuax?? (capital-only), {{path>H2}} on each ??Anathemant Dragon?? off-capital
===Crosspaths===
* {{path>F4E1}}: Magma spells (**??Liquid Flames of Rhuax??** being the national example), **??Terracotta Soldier??s**, **??Iron Gryphon??s**, scorpions
* {{path>B2S1}}: Horror spells such as **??Call Lesser Horror??** (though these generally require boosting)
====Boosting Access====
=== Fire ===
??Anointed of Rhuax?? starts at {{path>F4}}, making {{:misc:magic:fire.png?15&nolink}}Fire easy to climb.
=== Air ===
**No native access.** No simple summons.
=== Water ===
**No native access.** No simple summons.
=== Earth ===
{{path>E1}} with no useful crosspaths makes for a difficult climb. Maybe empower the ??Warlock?? in {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth twice and {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood once. (The same ??Warlock?? can be used to go up the {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood path.) Once at {{path>E2B3}}, the ??Warlock?? can make a ??Blood Stone??. At {{path>E4B3}}, the Warlock can summon ??Father Illearth?? and give him the ??Blood Stone??.
=== Astral ===
Empower a ??Warlock?? to {{path>S2}} , use ??Starshine Skullcap?? to get to {{path>S3}}, and hopefully get the ??Dimensional Rod??. If using the same ??Warlock?? to go up {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth and {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood, which is risky, it can access many useful boosters and summons.
??Malphas - Warlock?? starts at {{path>F3S2B4}}, great crosspaths for climbing {{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}}Astral.
=== Death ===
**No native access.** {{path>B8}} can ??Bind Demon Lord?? for a 3 in 6 chance of at least {{path>G4}}.
=== Nature ===
**No native access.** No simple summons.
=== Glamour ===
**No native access.** {{path>B5}} can ??Bind Heliophagus?? for a 2 in 4 chance of at least {{path>G4}}.
{{path>E4}} can summon ??Troll King's Court?? for {{path>G1}}.
{{path>B8}} can ??Bind Demon Lord?? for a 3 in 6 chance of {{path>D3}}.
=== Blood ===
A ??Warlock?? will have to be empowered once to {{path>B3}}, but it is an easy climb at that point. Have the same ??Warlock?? climb {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth for benefits along both paths.
??Malphas - Warlock?? is already at {{path>B4}} and with an {{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}}Astral booster can create the unique ??Tome of the Lower Planes??.
