Pangaea is a woodland nation inhabited by wild beings connected with nature. Halfmen such as satyrs, centaurs and minotaurs serve the lords of the Sacred Groves deep in the forests. The expansion of the civilized nations has forced the beasts of Pangaea to arm themselves with man-made weapons. Minotaurs wield huge battleaxes and centaurs are trained to use spears and longbows. The magic of the Panii lures women into the forests where they turn wild and shed all their clothing. These women are called Maenads and are turned loose to fight humans with their bare hands and teeth.

"Pangaea is a nation of wild half-men of Greek myth, as they could have developed if exposed to a vast and technologically superior humanity: Iron or skin. Adapt or die. As in most cultures exposed to so-called civilization, some inhabitants cling to traditions, or current perceptions of them; while others adapt to the circumstances, with loss or gain in influence. The loss of ancient magic and traditions over the ages is quite apparent in this nation, but in the late era the centaurs have found new paths of magic, giving hope to the nation." -Illwinter

Pangaea is one of the few nations to have been present in Dominions since the original Dominions: Priests, Prophets and Pretenders game. Early Pangaea is the newest of the three Pangaeas, however, created in Dominions 3 with the Era split. Middle Pangaea is closest to the Pangaea in the first game, while Late Pangaea has its origins in Dominions 2.

• Thorn Spear (Construction 3)
  1 and 4
  A somewhat-typical magic weapon that also deals 15 Poison Damage if it gets through the target's Protection.
• Thorn Staff (Construction 3)
  1 and 4
  Aside from having the same Poison effect as the Thorn Spear, the Thorn Staff provides more Defence Skill than a Shield. A Thorn Spear and a magic shield would provide higher Defence, but that would take an extra mage turn of setup (and more gems).
