Here's a fanfic I decided to create. Based on the Dynasty Warriors series, I'm trying to create a hybrid fanfic/game style experience which will cater to Oddworld fans. It's about four Slig communities and how they interact with each other. I also base this on the Terry Pratchett novels, primarily with regards to different clans and how they function in one town.
Sit down, relax and enjoy

The Four Dominions
Chapter 1: The Founding of the Four Dominions
Fifty years ago, there was a great battle. The newly formed Fayrot district was fraught with trouble from the very beginning. The town hall was breached several times and corruption was everywhere. There was theft, vandalism... even murder. Eventually the bloodshed reached an unbelievable scale. Within one night, twenty adult Sligs were murdered. An entire egg shipment was blown up, containing five hundred Slig eggs. This was too much for the town to handle. Eventually, hundreds of Slig unions were formed. These unions were always fighting each other, never calling any kind of truce. Eventually it culminated in one gigantic war. At this point there were only five remaining unions.
The battle was fierce, two of the unions started fighting and the rest followed soon after. A storm raged, pelting the entire battlefield with rain and wind. The storm picked up and the lightning started appearing. Sligs were getting shot, electrocuted by the lightning and being beaten to death. Eventually there were only five Sligs left standing, one from each faction.
One Slig dressed in a Purple garment was heavily injured by an arrow. He used his last words to tell the other union leaders to stop this war and call a truce. The Slig died, leaving behind the four leaders. At first, they did nothing but stare at each other. This lasted a long time. Finally, one of the leaders walked towards the center of the battlefield, throwing his sword to the ground. The other union leaders did the same. They formed an uneasy truce, for fifty years this truce has been held and has never been broken.
This was the formation of the four dominions.
Chapter 2: Dominions Revealed
Within the New Oddington district of Fayrot, there are four main powers which act as the law of the surrounding area. They carry out their own style of justice, law and business. Each co-operated as much as possible, leaving nothing to form bad ties with the other dominions. Their truce had come after so much bloodshed, it was only natural to keep it.
The first dominion is that of the Brava. It was the descendant of the Brava clan that first suggested forming a truce. They wear the red coloured uniforms proudly and boast fierce fighting potential. In terms of physical strength, they are second to none. Their forces are always trained in close-combat, building up the physical body with intensive work-out regimes. Previously they were a union of hunting parties, they frequently deal with the native animals of Oddworld and formed the butcher and animal market in Fayrot.
The loyal dominion of Prida, respected and feared by all. They set up the first judicial system and laws. While some would say they shy away from combat, actually the reverse is true. The Prida enjoy battles, but try to protect their own members as much as possible. Their warriors tend to be clad in heavy blue armor, they also carry long spears. They were the first defense of the Fayrot district, they still own a majority of the secure castle positions across the city.
The Fortuna dominion was initially a union of gardeners, and this shows. Their green cloaks and hats typically represent both nature and the older style of long range combat. While prominent leaders hold guns, most rookies are equipped with wooden bows and a staff. As an apprentice, they use a silver crossbow with metallic bolts. The silver crossbow is specifically engraved to each particular member. When a member leaves the union, their crossbow is melted down to be used in the crafting process once more.
Finally, the Honora dominion. They wear yellow bandanas and carry long curved daggers. Their system of honor and loyalty is beyond any other union. Being accountants beforehand, they founded the money system that is currently in use in the Fayrot district. They never take a promise lightly. If you make a promise with a Honora member, they are very unlikely to break it. Honora union graduates typically display respect, manners and some fighting skills. Each fighter is awarded their own secondary name upon graduation.
The Four Dominions
I was going to post Chapter 5 and 6, but I think that 6 and 7 would be better kept together
