Law and Travel are in the PHB (Travel's really good as a domain, btw); Fate gives you the uncanny dodge 1 ability or a rogue or barbarian, and gives pretty nice spells ranging in power from True Strike to Mark of Justice all the way up to Mind Blank and Foresight. Retribution gives you the ability to perform a retributive strike - once per day, when you are damaged in combat, you may make a melee or ranged weapon attack next rd that deals maximum damage if it hits. there's also some pretty impressive spells in there from shield of faith and fire shield that goes all the way up to discern location and storm of vengeance.  these domains are in the FRCS, if you're wondering.  you mentioned a liking for the war-priest or cavalier as an eventual progression; perhaps the Travel and Retribution domains would serve you well, if you're a bitter, cynical old man fallen on hard times, trying to hold to a code of chivalry to protect the ideal of a manor that you no longer own while trying to master his vengeance and anger without letting it consume him. maybe you could become some kind of dark protector/ avenger-type, a la the Punisher; with the Travel domain and a horse, you could literally go places and bring the Law of Punishment down upon miscreants. Your divine magic could root out those criminals who try to hide and run... and Fate could be more your thing, if you like to Power Attack 2-handed, Deadly Charge, and True Strike as a domain spell for horrible, horrible impact.  you could be the mysterious, bitter jaded Dark Knight, who teleports onto the battlefield with his warhorse, from a cloud of obscuring mist, to perform devastating chargin Divine Power Attacks! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-P" title="Stick out tongue    :-P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":-P" />yours,shao</blockquote>
