Domain

A domain in Borld matters is any broadly defined area influenced by a certain set of characteristics. Features defining a domain can be topological (e.g. a subarctic domain), meteorological (e.g. a sandstorm domain), or dependent on human habitation (e.g. a cultural domain or architectural domain). In the latter sense, domain is used about the general areas in which cultural groups reside, see for example the domains of the Varu or the Bep. These may overlap. In some cases, such as the Bep's, the cultural domain coincides with an administrative, state-like entity, which is then also often referred to as the Bep(/other) domain.
