Homebrew Domangal Species Details

What They Are

 

The Domangal are an anthropomorphic pig race who embody excess, ownership, and economic dominance. Where other noble races rule by lineage or divine right, the Domangal rule by wealth, believing that ownership is proof of worth.

 

To them, gold is not just currency it is security, power, and moral validation. If something exists and they can afford it, they believe they deserve it.

 

They are not inherently cruel, but deeply self-interested, seeing generosity as wasteful and sharing as naïve.

 

 

Appearance

 

Domangal are heavy-set humanoids with porcine features, usually 5–6 feet tall, but broad and dense.

 

Heads: Pig-like snouts, sharp tusks (often capped in gold), small calculating eyes

 

Skin & Hair: Pink, grey, or dark hide, often covered in thick, curly hair (Mangalitsa-inspired)

 

Build: Stocky, soft-looking bodies that hide surprising strength

 

Dress: Lavish robes, rings, signet jewelry, layered fabrics, perfume to mask natural musk

 

 

Many Domangal intentionally exaggerate their wealth through appearance, believing excess is impressive.

 

 

Temperament & Behavior

 

Domangal are:

 

Shrewd, patient, and calculating

 

Polite on the surface, transactional underneath

 

Easily offended by perceived disrespect or unpaid debts

 

 

They believe:

 

> “Everything has a price. Those who pretend otherwise simply cannot afford honesty.”

 

 

 

They rarely raise their voices. Threats are delivered through contracts, debts, and withheld resources.

They worship:

 

Gods of commerce, contracts, greed, control, and civilization

Banking and moneylending

 

Rare ingredient markets

 

Potion monopolies

 

Insurance, contracts, and mercenary funding

 

 

They specialize in artificial scarcity, intentionally restricting supply to drive prices up.

 

A Domangal merchant never sells their best goods openly.

If you see it on the shelf you can’t afford the real thing.

 

 

Medicine & Potions

 

This is where they become truly hated.

 

Domangal hoard rare medicinal ingredients

 

Life-saving potions are locked behind absurd prices or contracts

 

Some cures are never sold at all, reserved only for Domangal families

 

 

They believe:

 

> “If medicine saves everyone, it is worth nothing.”

 

 

 

Black-market healers often steal or counterfeit Domangal remedies.

How Other Races See the Domangal

 

General Reputation

 

To most of the world, the Domangal are seen as:

 

Polite tyrants

 

Respectable hoarders

 

Saviors with a price tag

 

 

They are trusted to keep contracts but distrusted to act with compassion. When Domangal arrive, economies change, prices rise, and someone ends up in debt.

 

The common saying among merchants:

 

If the Domangal are smiling, someone just became poorer.
