Soul Domain

The Soul Domain seeks to understand the universe through the experiences of those which have passed. They are known to tap into the afterlife, sometimes known as the Underworld, Hell, the Ferry of the Damned, or the House of Osiris depending on the culture. Those of the Order of Souls focus their "worship" on the study of this afterlife, and how to tap into the souls of the damned and use their knowledge for their own gain. Soul Clerics believe that all they need for their power or gain can come from those that came before. Those who choose the domain of Souls for their focus are illuminated by the whispers of the past to guide the future.
