Firearm Domain

The gods of the forge are patrons of those who create for a living. But sometimes, that livelihood is threatened. Sometimes, no amount of cooperation, compromise, or reasoning can sate the threat. Sometimes those who create for a living must destroy.

"You are what you worship. God of the volcano. Those who worship hold a volcano in the palm of their hand. It’s filled with prayers in my name. The power of fire is firepower. Not god, but godlike. And they believe. It fills their spirits every time they pull the trigger. They feel my heat on their hip and it keeps them warm at night."

–Vulcan, "A Murder of Gods"

In certain religions, the gods of the forge are also the gods of destruction, they teach that creation and destruction are two sides of the same coin. Without destruction, you cannot have the materials you need to create; and without creation, there is no meaning in life. Clerics of the firearm domain, embody the destructive domain of their deities. They take great pride in destroying threats to their way of life. Followers of the destructive domain forego heavy armor, and instead forge mighty firearms to blast apart their enemies. Deities of this domain include Vulcan, Georvyphat, Garyx, Kossuth, Talos, and Tharmekhûl.
