"Theme" is sort of an unofficial name that's been coined around the fourm. It refers to the special dominions that are available when designing your god, such as the aforementioned Iron Faith for an Ulmish god.

They're not just special dominions (most are not even special dominions), since national themes usually change the set of available national units and starting sites.
Aye, I agree, but you need to click "Select special dominion" to get the full list of available choices, so it is also best for people to know how the game references the concept.
