[QUOTE="Jacob Lewis, post: 9388891, member: 6667921"] [B][I]Divine Power[/I][/B] introduced domains to 4e as an option for all the divine character classes (i.e. cleric, paladin, invoker, and avenger). Although these were player-facing options that reflected character builds more than the gods themselves, they did provide some interesting insights to the relation between the gods and the various domains. Look at Arcana, for example, which is shared by several deities: [HEADING=2]Arcana[/HEADING] The arcana domain rests securely within [B]Corellon[/B]’s sphere of influence. Other deities have interests in the arcane realm: [B]Ioun [/B]wants to spread arcane knowledge as far as possible, [B]Sehanine [/B]delights in arcane powers’ potent illusions, and [B]Vecna[/B] prefers that the secrets of arcana be granted only to a worthy few. In contrast, Corellon glories in all aspects of arcane power and appreciates the use of it as the highest art. Any who create new arcane works or share lost secrets of the art can receive the Master of Magic’s blessing, but those who have no dealings with the arcane may discover that Corellon has little interest in them. As an unaligned deity, Corellon cares more for the elegance and potency of arcane magic than for the morality of its masters, but other gods might have different agendas.
