The Ale domain is a domain that is supported by the Priesthood of Cayden Cayleen, also known as the "Grain & Hops Master" or "The Drunk One". The deity preaches freedom, enjoyment of the simple pleasures of life, love and drinking. Additionally Cayden is a supporter of farmers, especially the ones that grow grain, hops, berries, grapes and various other ingredients that can be used in the creation of various alcoholic beverages, mainly ale.

The Priesthood includes normal everyday people like pub and tavern owners, people working in the hospitality sector, bards, travelling merchants and adventurers. There is no formal specific hierarchy within the Priesthood and no formal holidays, however whenever there are any holidays that include drinking and song, it is very likely that one or more followers of Cayden will be found.

Cayden Cayleen, is an ally of both the Wildmother and the Moonweaver, while is suspicious of the Stormlord and the Matron of Ravens. He is against most Betrayer deities, and in particular the Chained Oblivion, and the Scaled Tyrant.
