Can you tell me anything else about Doomite culture? The Doomite royal family? PLEASE!
Sadly, there’s not a whole lot else to know that I haven’t already stated in previous posts. But I’ll try. Some of this leans into speculation territory, though.
For one, the concept of “might makes right” appears to be central to Doomite culture. There’s one episode where Lotor invokes “Right of Might” on Zarkon, which is the right of the royal heir to challenge the current ruler to a duel to the death for the throne. There’s also an episode where Romelle tells Lotor he has no right to destroy Arus, only for him say that his power gives him the right to do so.
Zarkon mentions dark gods, implying Doomite religion is polytheistic. Haggar draws at least some of her magical power from entities she refers to as the Dark Spirits (which, according to her, rule the netherworld). However, these Dark Spirits might not be part of the Doomite pantheon, given how neither Lotor or Zarkon take her talk of them particularly seriously.
As for the Doomite royal family…uh..
Well, Lotor does mention have nephews. Since Zarkon states Lotor is his only son, maybe Lotor has a sister somewhere?
But, yeah, WEP wasn’t big on world building. They did try creating some lore in the American produced season, but most of that centered around Arus or the wider galaxy.
