I don't know why you think you can't.You seem to be under the misapprehension that the cleric is somehow limited to only the domains directly stated to be held by the god. This isn't exactly true. Sure, I'd say that you'd have a hard time justifying being a cleric of light for Shar, who despises all light, but for many gods justifying any number of domains is trivially easy. Take Boldrie, the Goddess of community and home. She has the Life domain, makes sense in terms of comfort and healing. But is that the only domain that a cleric of Boldrei could choose? No. Tasha's says she gets Peace, but she is also an agriculture goddess, so a Nature Domain would make a lot of sense. Communities need to be defend, so a War Cleric or Twilight Cleric makes a lot of sense. Her symbol is the hearth fire, so Light domain makes sense. If she is being worshipped by gnomes (she is an Eberron Deity, so there are no racial dieties) then Trickery or Knowledge makes a lot of sense because of how they view community and because of The Trust. Forge makes sense, as a blacksmith is often a cornerstone of the community and we get into the Hearth fire aspect again, with a more martial bent. Order is something that you could do with her, if she was being worshiped by a more militaristic race. Grave makes sense as the comfort of home and the concept of death being where you are reunited with loved ones.There are very few domains that we can say don't apply. Tempest is about the only one I think doesn't fit at all... but even that could fit depending on where you lived. And we can go even beyond that. You could have a religion based on The Traveler who see Boldrie as a Temptress, luring people away from their true homes in the wilds. There is no domain for "evil temptress" but that doesn't mean that an acolyte can't see her in that light, because Domains are at best starting points.</blockquote>
