Knowledge Domain
The Life domain is an aspect of many good deities, offering spells that protect and restore the mind, body, and soul.
The Light domain is offered by deities of justice, majesty, and primordial flame, providing spells that dispel darkness and harm the undead.
A domain shared by wicked, chaotic, and mischievous deities alike, those who channel Trickery specialise in deception and illusion magic.
Adaptable and adroit in all manner of languages and skills, your mind is an intellectual cup brimming with exquisite knowing.

Class Cleric War Badge Icon.png
War Domain
You embody the vast viridian power of the natural world, an avatar of the subtle divinity of fruitfall, avian migration, woodland silence, and the landslide's roaring fury. Your faith has made you the very thunder that quakes the black firmament, the lightning coursing through the veins of a terrible storm. Fortified by holy zeal, you brandish an arsenal of sacremental savagery to use against those you deem unrighteous.
