Domain of the First Tree

You have devoted your life to the way of the Abzan, and seek to provide for your clan and the First Tree that it grew from.  Your reverence for your ancestors is a tangible source of power, and your faith and devotion has provided you great power to use in the service of your clan. The people of the Abzan know great love for their heart and great wroth for their enemies, and the magic you channel from them reflects this, equally suited to healing as it is for harm. Life began from the tree and you believe that it will end with it too, and as such the flow of life and death is as sacred as your holy groves, and to pervert this order is heresy of the upmost degree. Your ancestors are with you always, and their strength and wisdom will lead you and your clan to prosperity.

Additionally you and your ally's gain an increase to their AC's equal to your wisdom modifier and the benefit of partial cover.
