Shelter Domain

Shelter Domain clerics are the guardians of safety, the custodians of sanctuaries, and the defenders of the weary and vulnerable. They draw their power from deities who embody concepts of shelter, refuge, and resilience. Whether it be the benevolent embrace of a hearth goddess, the stalwart protection of a god of walls and fortresses, or the serene tranquility of a deity of peace, Shelter Domain clerics are entrusted with the sacred duty of providing sanctuary to those in need. At their core, Shelter Domain clerics are empathetic souls, attuned to the suffering and struggles of others. They possess an innate understanding of the importance of safety and the profound impact it has on the lives of individuals and communities alike. Thus, they dedicate themselves to the pursuit of creating havens of peace and protection amidst the chaos of the world. In battle, Shelter Domain clerics serve as bulwarks against harm, using their divine powers to shield their allies from danger and turn aside the weapons of their foes. Their spells and abilities are focused on bolstering defenses, healing wounds, and providing a haven of safety even in the midst of the fiercest conflicts. Beyond the battlefield, Shelter Domain clerics are often found tending to the needs of the downtrodden, offering solace to the grieving, and providing aid to those displaced by calamity. Their temples and sanctuaries serve as beacons of hope, offering respite to all who seek it, regardless of creed or station.
