Infernal Domain (5e Subclass)
Infernal Domain[edit]
Cleric Domain
Clerics from the Infernal Domain worship the forces that rule the nine hells, and crave the time were the gates that separate the material plane from the hellish flames will be forever shattered. They usually gather into cults, since the practice of devil worshiping is commonly frowned upon and persecuted by societies. These clerics usually are devoted to a specific archdevil ruler from one of the nine circles, while others adore the power of hell itself. This will shape the method in which the cleric approaches his veneration, and his personality. For example, a Infernal Cleric of Glasya will be manipulative and charming, and will strive to gain power through controlling others actions and thoughts, while a cultist of Zariel will be a militant cleric, who fight in the Blood War even when in the material plane, hunting demons and sending them back to the abyss from were shouldn't ever left.
