The Wars of Dominion were a major conflict in the historical setting used in the I.C.E. Age of GemStone III. The Dark Gods and servants of the Unlife attempted to conquer the world but they were ultimately stopped. This took place between 6450 and 6825 Second Era on the archaic Shadow World timeline, which was approximately six thousand years ago. This never happened in the modern Elanthian history.
The Wars of Dominion are the original context for several stories and areas that were written before late 1995. The most important of these are The Graveyard and The Broken Lands.
