Commerce Domain

Money is a symbol of power, and that power carries weight. Gods of this domain can aid in the safe passage of shipments, the protection of traveling merchants, and even oversee donations to the poor. Wherever money is given in exchange for something else, even good will, the power of commerce suffuses it.

Clerics of the Commerce Domain often find work as merchants, caravanners, or traders. Though some honor their patrons by selling their martial prowess or healing abilities to those with the coin to back them up. Some call money the root of all evil, but the deities worshiped by these clerics tend towards neutrality. Money itself has no morality, and the ends to which some will go to obtain it span the gamut from harmless to heinous.
