Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aylowan" data-source="post: 8180288" data-attributes="member: 48966">I've been thinking about making a twilight cleric for my next character, and I'm planning to focus on the "protection in the darkness" part of the subclass. So if I were looking at this, I might use both of them like "twin deities of [something]" -- kind of a mini-pantheon subgroup. One bringing moonlight to alleviate the darkness, the other extending protection into the darkness.Perhaps a focus on moon cycles -- when the moon is full, one deity is strong, and when the moon wanes, the other has to be strong to make up for the lack of moonlight. Lots of rituals around those times, or the crossover periods between them. Lighting ceremonial fires or encircling a village (or even campsite) with a protective barrier.I really like theming with color, so my character might wear shining silver during the waxing moon, and charcoal gray during the waning cycle. Or perhaps a clerical amulet with two sides? (A bit on-the-nose, but hey why not.)Their clerics would be focused on protecting the [weak / certain group of people / their followers / an important location] or protecting against [specific group of scary monsters / a prophecy / the return of Evil Being XYZ]. I might use spells like Protection from Evil and Good, Bless, Sanctuary, Aid, Continual Flame, Hallow, ForbiddancePriests might instruct followers on stories of what happens when the teachings / sacrifices were followed (we were protected against [that thing]) and maybe also when they were not [soandso got eaten by [that thing]).Dunno if any of that's what you're looking for, but even if not, perhaps it sparks some ideas to riff on. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
