Cleric
Base Class: Cleric

The Destruction domain views chaos, tearing down formations, and shattering creations to not be inherently evil. On the contrary, destruction is a natural part of life. Just as things become created, so must they eventually face destruction. There are deities of good or neutral deities whom may hold control over this domain - including: Kelemvor, god of the dead, Silvanus, god of wild nature, Tempus, god of war, or Sif, goddess of war. However, due to the nature of destruction, and those who bear witness to it, clerics of this domain tend to become controlled by the nature and temptation of destruction, and are known to become controlled by its baser instinct. In these circumstances, it is common for even more evil deities to control the domain predominantly, this includes Bane, god of tyranny, Beshaba, goddess of misfortune and those who embody war (Ares, god of war and strife and Surtur, god of fire giants and war).
