The Dorogun
Updated: Jan. 31, 7:23 p.m.
The secretive masters of the Impsalan nation wield more power than kings or captains, and yet remain a veiled mystery.
The Impsalan nation is devoted to ideas of augury and oracle, and the Dorogun command these powers to a high degree. Great temple complexes fill the Impsalan jungles where hooded priests conclave and through mysterious (and some say, foul and terrible) rites, gain knowledge of the future. Knowledge they use to further their already-powerful nation’s dominion over more and more islands.
The Dorogun form an entire second society within Impsalan society — while there are lords and courts amongst the Impsalans, all of these nobles and their followers are shadowed by an array of nameless priests whose every utterance carries the weight of prophecy.
Dorogun priests dress in sombre brown robes, dark and plain against the sort of finery that is common throughout Impsalan. Their hoods are always drawn, but no Impsalan would ever dare impersonate a Dorogun priest — such a blasphemy is beyond their ability to imagine. And rarely are the priests ever found beyond their dark jungle temples, so few non-Impsalans even know of their existence.
