The Toa Dominion is a very large organization led by Xax (yes, Reptor's Xax) similar to the Order of Mata Nui in that it's willing to do whatever it takes to protect the universe. The resemblance stops there; the Dominion are ruthless and arrogant, and will accept few beings that are not Toa in their ranks. In addition to this, they are very secretive of their methods, which leads to general dislike among the populace of the pocket dimension. The only reason they are portrayed as anything close to the protagonists is that the League is even worse. (Still, it doesn't go without mention that one of the major themes of the series will be the reorganization of the Dominion, hopefully for the better.)

Shadow is the arrogant but cunning leader of the League. Shade Lothia is a fallen Toa and member of the Night Gatherers, who plays the role of sympathetic (well, most of the time) anti-villain who in her better moments secretly allies with the Dominion.
