This is an original Cleric domain for 5A.

The prophecy domain is dedicated to communing between the world of the divine and mortals, bringing advice, warning, and if warnings are unheeded, retribution.

Gods of divination, wisdom, and fate patron prophets at any time, but at times any god may feel the need to send an prophet to bring an important divine message.

Players and GMs both are encouraged to come up with a divine message the prophet is trying to spread and to integrate this with the theme of the campaign. Staying true to type, people will rarely heed the prophet's warnings, forcing them to take action themselves. Only once the danger has been faced will the prophet's message be commonly accepted.
