[QUOTE="DerekSTheRed, post: 6642742, member: 55770"] I'm creating a Cold Cleric Domain for world building purposes but I'd like some feedback on if this would work for PCs or if it should be a Villainous Option only. The deities that would grant access to this domain would be Thrym from the Nonhuman and Norse pantheons* and Auril from Forgotten Realms. I created this specifically for Kriesha in Birthright but it should work for the others. *Anyone else notice the Norse Thrym is god of fire giants and cold instead of frost giants and cold like in the Nonhumans pantheon? I'm guessing typo but maybe I don't know my Norse mythology well enough.
