The Curse Domain for Clerics- Inside Erevan's Guide to Death and Beyond - Vol. 16 (Patreon)

"To wield curses is to court darkness, to embrace the night's chilling embrace. But beware, for in the pursuit of power, one may become consumed by the very curses they seek to command. In the end, the curse bearer walks a path fraught with peril, for they are both master and servant of the shadows that devour the light."

-Erevan

The Curse Domain is one of the 12+ subclass options that will be included in our upcoming book - Erevan's Guide to Death and Beyond launching on Kickstarter on May 21st!

The Curse Domain represents a divine domain not illuminated by benevolence but shrouded in the darkness of curses. Clerics within this domain step away from sanctified chapels to engage with shadows, invoking their deity's power through curses filled with dread. These clerics don't just pray; they actively call for the downfall of their enemies with a malicious fervour.

The initiation onto this path occurs during the Night of Whispers, a solemn rite held in places heavy with ancient curses from their deity. Aspirants must endure and embrace the darkness that envelops them. Once they emerge, their gaze, now with a malevolent gleam, marks their commitment to the more sinister side of their deity. They become agents of disaster, skilled in creating curses that debilitate their foes and alter fate.

Casting curses deepens their connection to their deity, endowing them with supernatural abilities. Whispering a curse over a bound doll can drain an enemy's strength; using a cursed talisman can drive a soul to despair. Their mere presence can distort luck, turning positive signs into ominous ones. At their peak, they embody their god’s wrath, terrifying to witness as they bend curses to change the world.

However, wielding such power comes with significant risks. These clerics view the world through a veil of shadows, finding companionship in isolation. They become centers of dark portents, revered by some and shunned by others. Embracing the Curse Domain is a burden, reminding them constantly of the balance between wielding control and the risk of being overwhelmed by the darkness they harness.
