Feminie is a hidden queendom in a faraway land ruled by women. It was once an amazon queendom subservient to Magnificent Ind, but when the Khans of T’ien Ch’i defeated the sacred armies of Ind and killed the Prester King himself, the dominion of Ind was broken and the subservient tribes and kingdoms found themselves free from the yoke of the Magnificent Kingdom. The sorceresses of Feminie salvaged the esoteric knowledge of the sage-priests of Ind and have become keepers of their hidden lore. Throughout the queendom monasteries filled with ancient texts can be found. Abesses and their servants search the books for arcane secrets to further the magical might of Feminie. The queendom is now ruled by wise and able Sage-Queens who hide their lands from outside threats.

"Ind is heavily influenced by the kingdom of Prester John, a medieval idea of a hidden christian kingdom surrounded by heathen tribes. The idea of the hidden kingdom survived until the seventeenth century. As more and more of the world became known to the Europeans the kingdom was moved to new unexplored regions. The first sources placed the kingdom in the orient. Later on it was conceived as an Ethiopian kingdom.

For inspiration on Ind I have used the first and most fantastic medieval accounts of the marvelous kingdom, with streets of gold and dining tables of emerald. I wanted to be true to the over the top accounts of the virtue of the kingdom and its inhabitants. In the descriptions of Ind's units I have paraphrased several accounts of their outstanding virtue, like everyone being a priest and every noble being a king. I have also used accounts of cannibals and other strange tribes subservient to Prester John. Ind is probably the dominions nation least influenced by my own ideas. The only addition to the nation that can't be found in the medieval accounts of the kingdom are the dog headed cynocephalians. These are also found in medieval accounts and they are placed in the orient. Combined with judaeo-christian ideas of Gog and Magog they were added to Ind as the worst of the cannibals serving the Prester King.

Piconye, Feminie and Andramania are successors to the magnificent kingdom of Ind. They mainly draw inspiration from my previous ideas of Ind and the kingdom of Prester John. I wanted the successors of Ind to split the virtues of the magnificent kingdom and so Piconye inherits the theocratic traditions of Ind, Feminine inherits the magic secrets, and Andramania inherits the order and discipline of the kingdom." - Illwinter

Divine Insights: Like MA Man, Feminie's designated priests may research, but the number of units with this trait researching in the same province may not exceed the province's dominion strength.

Hidden Ownership: This dominion will hide the province name and ownership from enemies unless they are investigating more closely. Scouts will need to enter the province in order to see through this illusion. Scouts in nearby provinces will see it as an independent owned province with a false name. Disciples to pretenders with these dominions will also benefit from the effect.
