DOMI

(God of War and Courage)

Priests’ Version

Realms of Responsibility

He is the God of War. He is the champion of the Gods and defends them in all matters of honor. He directs all matters concerning mortal war and its consequences. He provides strength to the faithful soldier. He is also Alemi’s top advisor. There is not a major decision made in which Domi does not have input. Those seeking courage come to Domi. Domi is responsible for the self-esteem of both the Gods of Wold and all of the mortals who worship them. He provides confidence for all situations: battle, facing death, weddings, and other scary situations.
