====== EA Ermor, the New Faith  ======

===== Lore =====
Ermor is an empire centered around a great city. For centuries it has grown and become more and more influential. Traders and travelers from near and far come to the city. By military campaigns, diplomacy and trade, Ermor has become a power to be reckoned with. By adopting local traditions and beliefs, the Ermorians posed little threat to neighbors and conquered peoples, but this has begun to change. A new God is rising. Old syncretistic faiths and spirit worship were banned by a Prophet dressed in white shrouds. The remnants of his body and shrouds are buried in the Holy City of Eldregate where the adherents of the New Faith are awaiting the arrival of the Reawakening God foreseen by the Prophet. The all-encompassing old state cult of the Numinas still survives, but the Pontifices and Flamen are slowly adopting the New Faith.

//"Ermor was initially a conglomerate of the Roman Empire and undead nations of general fantasy stock. With time, it has received a history that begins as something like the early Roman republic, with military units of that age and priests and diviners inspired by Roman religious officials. The New Faith replaces the old state cult of the Numina, as Christianity eventually replaced the old Roman state cult. With the turn of the age, the mistake of the Augurs becomes apparent, and the nation is brought into darkness. \\ \\

Ermor is one of the first conceived nations in the Dominions universe. In the first Dominions, the Ermorian backstory influenced many of the other nations. When the eras were introduced in Dominions 3, the undead empire ended up in the late age and the Dominions history lost some of its coherency. With Dominions 4, I tried to straighten things up and once more placed the Ashen Empire of Ermor in the middle age where its antagonists and splinter empires can be found. \\ \\

The backstories of Sceleria, Pythium, Marignon and Ulm are all influenced by Ermor. Several other nations have interacted with the nation or its shadow. It would be difficult to imagine the Dominions setting without Ermor. . . . \\ \\

During the subjugation of C’tis, lizard soldiers were recruited into the Ermorian ranks. Lizard Auxiliares have since been a regular part of the Ermorian army. The lizards are armed as Hastati, but wear ring mail cuirass of C’tissian design, and use round shields instead of the tower shields standard to the Imperial Legions. . . . \\ \\

Ermor was once a great empire that had conquered much of the known world. The realm crumbled as the great mages of the Empire studied dark magic under the Sauromancers of C’tis. Unaware of the dangers of dark sorcery, priests performed unholy rites in the capital city of Eldregate. But there were voices who demanded that the foul practices stop. Theurgs and Thaumaturgs foresaw the cataclysm and advised generals, governors, and consuls to revolt. When the Apostate Emperor marched on Ermor itself, the Augurs and Bishops of the Empire were forced to act in concert. In one cataclysmic event, Death was let loose and the empire was shattered. The Cataclysm attracted attention from an earlier God, a dark and hungry God. The vast power of this Awakening God erased the boundaries between the land of the living and the land of the dead. Ermor is now a cursed land of ashes and darkness where nothing grows. The bones of long-dead inhabitants reassemble to form legions of undead under the leadership of the cursed priests of the old Ermorian faith. Undead legions march forth to conquer a world once theirs. The Ermorian Dominion reanimates the dead without the aid of unholy priests. It also destroys the land, turning crops and forests into ashes, and people and livestock into bones. The Pretender God of Ermor will also be able to sense where any corpses are in provinces under his Dominion."// -Illwinter

==== Boosting Guide ====
//See [[Magic Access]].// These guides supplement the summaries at the top.

EA Ermor has mages with only one level in many paths, without good crosspaths. This makes climbing those paths difficult.

__??The Copper Arm??__ \\
{{path>F1E1}} ??Flamen#1109?? (1 in 5) + {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}} \\

__??The Silver Arms??__ \\
{{path>F1E1}} ??Flamen#1109?? (1 in 5) + {{:misc:magic:fire.png?15&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:fire.png?15&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}} \\

??The Copper Arm?? and ??The Silver Arms?? are useful for holding multiple boosters at once, especially {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}} Death and {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}} Nature boosters.

=== Multi-Path Boosters ===
EA Ermor has the right paths and crosspaths for some of the major Multi-path boosters but the levels of its mages are so low it makes it difficult to get any of them.

=== Fire ===
__Highest starting__: {{path>F3}} ??Augur Elder#1115?? (1 in 4)

__??Skull of Fire??__ \\
{{path>F2D2}} ??Augur Elder#1115??

__??The Staff from the Sun??__ //Unique// \\
{{path>F2S2}} ??Augur Elder#1115?? (1 in 4) + {{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}}

=== Air ===
__Highest starting__: {{path>A1}} ??Augur Elder#1115?? (1 in 4), ??Flamen#1109?? (1 in 5) \\
{{:misc:magic:air.png?15&nolink}}Air is almost always hard to climb. Getting the //Unique// ??Tome of High Power?? will save one empowerment on the way up to {{path>A4}}.

__??Tome of High Power??__ //Unique// \\
{{path>A1S1}} ??Augur Elder#1115?? (1 in 4) + {{:misc:magic:air.png?15&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}} \\
The {{:misc:magic:air.png?15&nolink}}Air level probably needs to come from empowerment.

=== Water ===
__Highest starting__: {{path>W1}} ??Flamen#1109?? (1 in 5)

<color navy/tan>??Contact Lar??</color> \\
{{path>N1}} ??Flamen#1109?? (1 in 5) \\
??Lar#3087?? has {{path>W1E1N2}}, good for ??Contact Naiad?? and, with enough boosters, the //Unique// ??Orb of Atlantis??.

=== Earth ===
__Highest starting__: {{path>E1}} ??Flamen#1109?? (1 in 5) \\
Needs a level of empowerment to get started. Might be better to save the gems for the summoned ??Lar#3087??.

<color navy/tan>??Contact Lar??</color> \\
{{path>N1}} ??Flamen#1109?? (1 in 5) \\
??Lar#3087?? has {{path>W1E1N2}}, good for the //Unique// ??The Tome of Gaia??.

=== Astral ===
__Highest starting__: {{path>S2}} ??Augur Elder#1115?? (1 in 4) \\
EA Ermor lacks good crosspaths for {{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}}Astral, making the climb above {{path>S3}} difficult. Even if it can get the //Unique// ??Dimensional Rod??, getting it to {{path>S4}}, climbing higher is still tricky, and {{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}}Astral is one of the paths where climbing high in it is actually useful.

__??Tome of High Power??__ //Unique// \\
{{path>A1S1}} ??Augur Elder#1115?? (1 in 4) + {{:misc:magic:air.png?15&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}} \\
The {{:misc:magic:air.png?15&nolink}}Air level probably needs to come from empowerment.

=== Death ===
__Highest starting__: {{path>D3}} ??Augur Elder#1115?? (1 in 4)

=== Nature ===
__Highest starting__: {{path>N1}} ??Flamen#1109?? (1 in 5) \\
In order to get to the ??Treelord's Staff??, normally two expensive levels of empowerment are needed. If a ??Naiad?? is summoned and ??The Tomb of Gaia?? //Unique// is created, no empowerment is necessary. 

<color navy/tan>??Contact Lar??</color> \\
{{path>N1}} ??Flamen#1109?? (1 in 5) \\
