Darkness Domain

Salves to darkness some call cleric who follow gods that grant this domain, but this is not always the case. True, they revel in the dark of night and the deeper darkness found only far beneath the earth, but remember that darkness is a natural state. The night is dark, the spaces between the stars are dark, and caverns carved by the slow melt of water through stone are dark. Yet, what lies in that darkness? What secrets are hidden by the night?
