# Divine Domain
### Dao Domain

The followers of The Way seek the perfection of the self; believing no thing is inherently good nor evil, but simply an aid or a detriment to the perfection of the self.  Some shun attachment to the world around them, focusing inward; but others believe it is the privilege of a superior being to shape the world around them. Those of skill can extend their mastery of themselves to intercede on the behalf of those around them.
