The '''Dominances''' were the ten regions of governance in the [[Final Empire]] on [[Scadrial]].{{map ref|Final Empire|The Final Empire}}
==== Geography ====
The Northern Dominance is a
The Northern Dominance contains only one ashmount, Kalling, which is located to the north of Urteau.
==== Resources & Economics ====
The streams and rivers of the Northern Dominance support both forests and farms.
The Northern Dominance has coal mines in the area of Urteau{{book ref|mb3|26}}.
Urteau also had canals for streets which allowed for the easy transportation of goods. However when the canals were drained, Urteau became backwater and its trade influence diminished{{book ref|mb3|14}}.
==== Notable Locations ====
Known communities included [[Statlin City]] (the site of a storage cavern), [[Urbene]], and [[Erlac]]. Other places of interest included the [[Conventical of Seran]].
Many people in the southern dominances have darker skin than most peoples on the inner Dominances, though not as dark as some Terris peoples can get. The Eastern Dominance is likely included in the southern dominances.{{msh ref|3|2}}
This Dominance also contains the [[ashmount]] Faleast. Major bodies of water include the [[Black Lake]] (which extends slightly into the Central Dominance) and the [[River Seran]] as well as its associated lakes [[North Seran]] and [[South Seran]]. (A small part of South Seran appears to extend into the Crescent Dominance.)▼

====Resources====
Gold is mined in the Eastern Dominance, in the area where [[Spook]] was born.{{book ref|mb3|26}}
=== Western Dominance ===
====Politics====
Fadrex City became the capital of the Dominance after the Collapse since it was more defensible than Tremredare, originally under king [[Ashweather Cett]]. [[Aradan Yomen]], previously the leading [[obligator]] of the area, eventually became king of the Western Dominance, still ruling from Fadrex City {{book ref|mb3|30}}.
====Geography====
The ashmounts Morag and Torinost are located here.
The landscape contains eroded plateaus, spires of rock, and canyons. The rock formations form natural fortifications for Fadrex City. The dominance's plateaus represent some of the highest elevation farmland in the Final Empire {{book ref|mb3|25}}.
====Other Features====
In the northern part, the buildings have a fluid, organic shape quite different from [[Luthadel]].{{book ref|11m}}
=== Southern Dominance ===
The ashmounts Zerinah and Doriel are in this Dominance. It has a coast on the Southern Sea.
Many people in the Southern Dominance have darker skin than most peoples on the inner Dominances, though not as dark as some Terris peoples can get.{{msh ref|3|2}}
== Outer Dominances ==
At the edge of the empire, these dominances (at least those away from the sea) border on - and perhaps include part of - the [[burnlands]] deserts inhabited by koloss, who can survive the conditions. Humans escaping from the Final Empire live in the border area.{{wob ref|10137}}
After Ruin was freed, there Outer Dominances became unable to support crops and were overrun by koloss{{book ref|mb3|5}}.
=== [[Terris]] Dominance ===
Capital: [[Tathingdwen]]
=== Remote Dominance ===
The '''Remote Dominance''' was located to the southwest of the Eastern Dominance, below the Southern Islands. It is largely isolated, cut off by mountains on the border with the Eastern Dominance and sea separating it from the Southern Islands.{{map ref|Final Empire|The Final Empire}}
This dominance likely borders on, or includes, the [[burnlands]] at the edge of the empire where the "wasted men" (tribes rebelling against the Final Empire) live.
