Cleric Domain of Night

Fhalyassa · Mar 3, 2013

Is there a cleric domain of night? I think the Night Domain might be from a Dragon Magazine. If there is a cleric domain of Night then what is it like?

I am Darkness! I am the NIGHT!

There was an official Darkness domain (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/divine/domains.htm#darknessDomain) but not sure about Night.

Nope, no printed "Night" domain for 3.x D&D as far as I could tell. Just Darkness in the FRCS and Deities & Demigods (the latter of which got its crunch added to the SRD after a while).

There's a Dragon Magazine issue from around 2004 with darkness as a theme, and an article on Erebor, a god of darkness and shadows, but no Night domain; Erebor just had the Darkness domain. That issue had stuff like darkness pseudo-elementals (or was it shadow pseudo-elementals? whatever), dark ones, some spells using the Plane of Shadow, and a bit else related to the theme.

Exception: That realmshelp page Dandu linked to apparently has a Night domain, but I have no idea what the original source was. And realmshelp is just a pile of stolen non-OGC rules material from various books, without sourcing or permission as far as I can tell, so that site's more or less the same as pirated material. Which I hate with a passion.

There is a moon domain in the PGF but it, unfortunately, isn't very night themed. It deals mostly with lycanthropes.

Is it possible to ask your DM to make a Night Domain that's basically "anti-Sun domain"? Command undead instead of dusting them; darknessed themed spells instead of sunlight.

Some one on Giant in the Playground mentioned that there was a Night Domain is why I was asking. I was looking for the Night Domain to help in making my version of Erebus who is the demon lord of the night, darkness, and shadows.

I thought the realmshelp might have stolen it materials.

Erebus from Dragon Magazine #322 has Darkness, Evil, and Trickery as his domains. Is there any update of Darkness Pseudo-Elemental from that magazine?

There is no Night domain in any official D&D material, including Dragon. This looks like some homebrewed stuff, or possibly it is pulled from some obscure third party supplement.
