Each divine territory within The Shattered Domain is a realm unto itself, shaped and controlled entirely by its resident deity. These lands vary dramatically in size and appearance, directly influenced by the deity’s power, nature, and the devotion of their followers. The size of each land mass is proportional to the deity’s worshipper base and the accumulation of soul coins within their celestial vaults, creating a dynamic landscape that shifts with the ebb and flow of religious fervor among the mortal realms.

Some territories share borders or even intertwine with those of neighboring gods, facilitating alliances or conflicts, while others stand as isolated islands, sovereign and apart. The plane hosts over a hundred such divine realms, though notably, some territories lie vacant, devoid of a deity's presence. These unclaimed lands spark endless speculation among scholars and theologians, suggesting the existence of undiscovered shards of Ix and the potential for new gods to rise.

At the heart of this divine constellation lies the Ocean of Belief, a vast, metaphysical sea that encircles the central land mass known as Godless. This island serves as the ironic final resting place for the souls of those who, in life, refused the worship of any deity. Here, these souls reside in a state of perpetual observance, surrounded by the palpable might of the gods yet forever separated from their dominions by the waters of belief that they once rejected. Godless stands as a choice of faith and the consequences of its denial, offering a poignant reflection on the nature of belief and divinity.

The Shattered Domain is more than a mere collection of divine territories; it is the epicenter of divine machination and cosmic balance. The interactions among the deities, their alliances, and rivalries play out across this plane, influencing the fates of mortals and the structure of the cosmos itself. The plane’s design facilitates divine diplomacy and conflict alike, with the ever-present possibility of territorial shifts as deities gain or lose followers, and consequently, power.

In essence, The Shattered Domain is a realm of unparalleled complexity, where the divine and the mortal intertwine in a perpetual dance of power, faith, and fate. It is a plane where the echoes of the primordial Ix still resonate, shaping the destinies of gods and mortals alike, and where the very landscape serves as a reflection of the divine order that underpins the cosmos.

Soul coins serve as a physical manifestation of mortal souls, each coin intricately linked to an individual's essence. The obverse of the coin is etched with the name and visage of the person it represents, serving as a haunting acknowledgment of the soul's mortal legacy. On the reverse, a universally recognized symbol denotes the primary condition of the contract binding the soul, detailing the circumstances under which the soul came under divine claim. This symbolic language allows for the immediate understanding of the soul's contractual obligations and its standing within the celestial ledger.

The soul coins do more than signify ownership; they are conduits of divine power, with each deity drawing strength from their collected coins. These sacred tokens are stored within celestial vaults, their accumulation reflecting a god's influence and might. Unlike their counterparts in the Hells, where soul coins are a currency of torment, in the Shattered Domain, they embody the faith and devotion of the souls they represent. The weight of a coin shifts to mirror the devotion the soul had to the deity it is aligned with, a metric of spiritual affinity that determines its value in the divine economy.

Gods may engage in the trade of soul coins, exchanging these tokens in a complex celestial barter system driven by divine machinations and desires. Typically, the souls represented by these coins are those of cultural practitioners rather than fervent devotees, as the latter's coins carry a weight of devotion too significant to part with lightly. The transfer of a coin to a new deity results in an adjustment of the coin's weight, reflecting the soul's devotion to its new patron. However, racial deities find their followers' coins invaluable only to themselves, as the devotion embodied within is intrinsically linked to the worshipper's racial and cultural identity.

In times of dire need, a deity might choose to burn a soul coin, unleashing the potent spiritual energy contained within for a surge of power. This act is not undertaken lightly, for it rends the soul from its divine rest, casting it into the uncertainty of the Astral or Ethereal planes. Such souls become wanderers, disconnected from the cycle of rest and rebirth, highlighting the gravity of a coin's destruction within the Doctrine of Eternal Currency.

The souls as coins system, as outlined in the Doctrine of Eternal Currency, is a fundamental aspect of the celestial order, weaving the fates of mortals into the very fabric of divine power and influence. It is a system that balances on the principles of devotion, legacy, and the eternal consequences of divine machinations, underscoring the intricate relationship between the gods and the souls that journey through the Shattered Domain.
