Truth Domain

Truth Domain Cleric

You are an agent of truth. Many see you as a bounty hunter, as you'll go about tasks as requested by those who might pay you for them. Unbeknownst to them, you are watching those that might pay you, analyzing what their requests are and learning of their true intents in requisitioning your help. You seek out corruption and darkness, bringing it to the light through paths and means of truth. There is nothing that matters more to you than seeing that those would seek to hide their wrongs are brought to justice.
