Edit discussion (Aug-2018)

There are some dubious claims on this page.

  • "The Domain also administers part of Reft Sector that is on the trailing side of the Great Rift."

This claim is repeated on the Reft Sector wiki page, but I can't find canon support for it in any of the listed sources. Does anyone know a source for this? I suspect it is non-canonical.

  • "It is one of the oldest domains within the Third Imperium and predates all the way back to the Vilani Imperium and the Ziru Sirka."

I can find no support for this in the listed sources, and it is flatly contradicted by MT:IE (and other sources) "During the Pacification Campaigns, Emperor Artemsus divided space into six regions, labeled them domains, and appointed an archduke over each of them." Since "domains" are an Imperial governmental construct, they can't predate Artemsus's action establishing them. I think this line should be deleted.

  • "Im Derisumir" links to a place holder page "House Derisumir".

As far as I can find, the only reference to Derisumir is T4:M0C. If there is no other "House" member, that page will never be populated. In addition, GT:Nobles states flatly that "... the [Tauribi] dynasty has held the archduchy without interruption ever since [inception in 76]." The easiest way to reconcile T4 and GT is to assume there is no "House Derisumir" and that both Lukhirigaasa and Im Derisumir are in fact members of House Tauribi. I think the Im Derisumir link and House Derisumir placeholder page should be deleted.

  • "This domain once held territory is the following areas:

Provence Sector Windhorn Sector"

I can find no canon source for this. This article seems to be conflating the Domain of Vland which never extended into those sectors, with the Ziru Sirka which did.

  • Page numbers have recently been added to MT:IE source seem to be wrong. p 22 makes no reference to the Domain of Vland.

Smelchak Notes (2016)

Completed - January 2016.

  • Some of the older sector entries need updating to show up on the domain count. Probably Dag or Gush.
