I want to create a cleric of Vol and not sure which domain is the closest towards their concept. Currently waiting until next week to get the physical copy of the new book.
The house itself seem to have an interesting lore from what i read in the wiki but there isn't any indication of a worshiped deity, Maybe Lady Vol herself, but is it possible to make a cleric worshiping a lich? It doesn't sound right... If you gut any ideas that'll be nice.
Edit: Rewrote my request in case i wasn't very clear on what i want
Born under the watch of something from the furthest corners of the far realms.... It knows all.... it sees all... and it asks: "What is it that you want to see?"... and my answer is... ALL"
Grave domain. Death domain can worship liches. Knowledge can. Can Depend on your alignment. Can depend on why you worship the lich. or...
if none of those seem to work.
maybe you’re enslaved by the lich you worship, and you don’t know it, and a side quest for your char backstory requires fighting and defeating lady Vol for your freedom.

Not sure if this is still relevant, since you probably have the book now. But still.
From my understanding of the faith there is no worshipped beeing. Worshippers of the Blood of Vol even doubt the existence of other goods or see them as cruel beeings. They instead belief in the power of their own existence and seek to achieve some sort of divinity before death claims them. Death is the final enemy which must be avoided, to unlock the secrets of your potential.
Lady Vol may have founded the faith, but as far as I know her existence is only known to high members of the faith. I think it is also important to note that in Eberron Liches do not have to be evil. Since the setting is based on a Noir flair, goals and what you are willing to do to achive them are far more important. Granted, her backstory pretty much sets Vol on a path to destruction, however that depends on the table. There could be a timeline where the heroes ally with her against Argonessen or a plot of the emerald claw.
Regarding Domains:
Death - pretty much a perfekt fit
Blood - fits really good as well
Knowledge - A pretty good fit, although I would prefer one of the previous
Grave - I don't think this fits at all, since the Blood of Vol members use undead as tools and see death as something to be avoided at all costs.
if your DM will allow it, the Blood Domain from Matt mercer's homebrew stuff would slot neatly into the Blood of Vol cult; like most Eberron faiths htough a solid argument could be made for just about any domain. except maybe Light, I guess?
