Spirit Domain
In the penumbra of life and death, in the whispering overlap between the seen and the unseen, dwell the Spirit Clerics. Their power is drawn not from the clamor of the living, but from the serene and spectral realm of spirits. They walk a path echoed with the footsteps of the departed, harnessing energies from beyond the veil to shield the living and smite the wicked. The spirits are not just allies to these clerics; they are guides, friends, and the source of their divine might. To stand against a Spirit Cleric is not to face one, but to stand against a legion of the eternal.
