The Sea Domain bestows on its wielders all the power and dangerous potential of the vast deep. Clerics who follow this path love the open water and the freedom of traveling across the world.
While there are many smaller divinities of the seas, and waterways of the world, Poseidon stands above them all. His divine influence extends to include horse husbandry and the power of earthquakes. Many Clerics that wield the ceaseless force of the Sea Domain also practice earth and animal magic in honor of Poseidon’s other areas of influence.
