Domain of the Council of Fourteen

Occupying a unique place in the pantheon of the world, the Council of Fourteen are the ancient elders of a race of people called the wingles. The wingles were once one tribe, but a shocking act of dark magic fractured them, leading to some wingles venturing off on a large wandering earthmote. Despite the separation and the elders passing beyond the plane, there was hope that legacy of unity and peace their kind had been born in would return to the wingles one day. The strong respect and veneration the wingles had for their ancestors became more ritualized and formal, and at some unknown point, the Council themselves ascended to immortality. Thus, the church and religion of the wingles were formed, giving birth to orders of paladins and other heroes.

The names of the elder tribe were: Hal, Elle, Karr, Galen, Sorah, Lissa, Ewa, Dib, Sheya, Jaleel, Maegwyn, Laul, Albin, and Sky. The Council of Fourteen was known in ancient times individually for various works of might and magic, with elements of both the natural world and the arcane in their sphere of influence, but as a collective, their power is immense. Their aid is sought for many causes, but their church is known for its doctrine of unity, and for the union of the council- and it is this area their strength is most known for. Peoples of other races began to follow the council, hoping to find inspiration, and unity with their neighbors. While not the most common of churches, the sect of the council has spread to surprising places, offering shelter and peace to any who seek it.

As a cleric of the Council of Fourteen, your work will often put you in harm's way as you attempt to rally the oppressed and give them hope; you will be called upon as a last resort for peace, being a neutral party in negotiations between bitter rivals. Despite your various and difficult labors, if you remain true, you may be able to work one of the greatest of miracles: friendship.

You and allies within 30 feet of you have advantage on death saving throws. When you or an ally in this aura would make a death saving throw, their allies within 10 feet of them can use a reaction to make an attack against an enemy.
