Wrath Domain (5e Subclass)
From D&D Wiki
Wrath Domain[edit]
Cleric Subclass
A tall imposing man clad in Adamantine plate armor walks up to the heretics castle walls, and slams his shield into it making a reverberating sound whilst shouting "Surrender now and only most of you will die", A voice heard from atop the walls shouts "You will never win! We will never give up hope, and we make our final stand here and now!" A rallying cry an be heard from a small battalion of soldiers. Motioning his hand several soldiers move the battering ram closer to the fortified gate, and Smash, Crack, Boom! the fortified door fell from it's hinges, the plate knight now had his chance to finish the campaign he had begun years ago. With a rallying cry he unsheathes his longsword, and charges into the castle with many men following behind him. He kills every warrior in his path until he finds the opposing forces heretic leader "It is over! I have won, and your forces diminish. What do you seek to prove by wasting all of these lives in your heretical cause?" without word the man dressed as a king stands up, and charges him with his ornate mace, stepping into the line of the blade the plate knight winces in pain, but smiles knowing his work was done. The heretic king freezes up, and with the force of the plate knights blade he cuts into the king, every inch the blade continues leaving mangled, and decayed flesh behind. After this attack the king slumps to the ground dead, but it was not enough to merely kill the king; the plate knight cuts off the former rulers head, and touts it in the air shouting "your foolish king is dead, lay down your arms, or die like the heretical dogs your are!". Upon seeing their leaders defeat the small battalion of soldiers lay down their arms in defeat whilst the victorious conquerors shout cries of victory.
