Due to their exile being predicated on the actions taken by the Dominionists over [[Dachia]], many of the Free Dominion see Syr Ancelot as a hero and a martyr, and profess to be the true inheritors of Sihi.

 

However there are an even smaller minority that have rejected the Starlit Path and all related ideologies and replaced them either in whole or in part with the philosophies of the places they have settled. This has resulted in the beginnings of a few so-called “New Path” movements springing up across the sector, these are largely hyper-localized groups whose teachings tend to be minor variations on those of local faiths.

==Technological Challenges==

Due to the loss of access to Sihi’s cybernetics expertise and facilities the Free Dominion have had to rely on blackmarket equipment and back alley doctors to maintain their Sheathes and to implant bootleg copies into any new “Knights” brought into their orders. Typically depending on Tahora Whai derived neural interface technology and publicly available mechs to fill in the gaps where more specialized Sihian resources are unavailable.

===Corrupted Fae===

Another attempt to create fae to give to new knights was performed by a group of less technically skilled knights. This group attempted to perform a simple copying operation on an existing fae. The precise nature of what went wrong with this process has not yet been determined, however the result was a permanently damaged fae and a corrupted virtual intelligence that destroyed the facility in which this was tried as it attempted to use the mechs present to break free.

===[[Dominionist Mal-tech]]===

In their attempts to replicate several Starlit Court technologies using what is available to them in Beacon space, several radical groups within the Dominion have developed abhorrent, malicious technologies. This includes manipulating bleed sorcery to create alternate versions of the Sheath that allegedly rip out a dying knight's soul, a limited biological version of Avalon to store dead knights, biologically engineered host bodies, and horrific amalgamations of flesh machine and sorcery that allow non lenses to use the bleed.

 

Members of the Umbral Throne engage in criminal and mercenary activity to gather resources and steel technology and tools. Those that have had to deal with them have found that the core of the Umbral Throne are surprisingly well armed and equipped.

===Order of the Griffon Hunts===

Since the betrayal of Ancelot during the Dachia Crisis The [[Order of the Griffon]] has had a vendetta against any and all Dominionists and are often the units called in by OSI to deal with any discovered cells and bases.
