Take responsibility for shared direction.
How Dominion relates to each House, by Realm.
Dominion explores accountable direction: making choices, explaining trade-offs and accepting responsibility for consequences. Its purpose is stewardship of a shared course, not power over people. Membership does not confer authority, executive ability or a higher position among Houses. Vanguard starts an attempt; Dominion addresses ownership and direction. Order concerns process rather than who decides.
