The Nature Domain provides all the resources of the natural world, both wild and domesticated. Clerics that follow this domain come in two varieties. Some assist farmers in blessing their fields and herds to assure bountiful food production. Other nature clerics run with wolf packs in the wilds of Cimmeria, defending the natural world from the incursions of civilization.
There are four main deities of nature within the Olympian Pantheon, split into those who are kind to mortals and those who represent the dangers of the wild. Demeter is the goddess of agriculture, controlling the aspect of nature that has been tamed to serve mortals. Dionysus straddles the tamed and wild aspects. His vineyards provide wine in service to mortals, but his wine drives people into a wild animalistic state. Artemis and Pan are deities of the green places of the world. They are a threatening presence, warning mortals to stay away from the deep regions of the forest. All these deities rule over nature in one way or another, helping or harming mortals as they desire.
