The Dominions of the Black is an obscure reference to places, phenomenon, organizations or possibly even a regencies from a distant part of space. References to the Dominions of the Black were first found in the hieroglyphics of Ancient Osirion. While early references refer to the "Dominions" in the plural, a few more recent references refer to the Dominion of the Black in the singular. The Dominion of the Black has been described as a 'mysterious consortium of emissaries' suggesting that it may in fact act as a lower hierarchical rung that serves the malignant incomprehensible intelligences that rule the aether of the Dark Tapestry, the lightless places between the stars..
