Domain
In Dungeons & Dragons and similar TTRPGs, clerics gain specialized spells and abilities according to the powers of their patron deity (or equivalent). In Drintera, domains are more often associated with the cleric's mystery or sect than with their god per se.
Shewstone Publishing is not planning to make a lot of original rules for Drintera. Instead, we explain how you can use existing rules from open licensed systems to create a Drintera gameplay experience according to your tastes.
5.5E Domains
Domains in 5.5E are treated as subclasses of the cleric class.
Most of the domains from 5E have not been officially converted to 5.5E. Unofficial conversions for all of the 5E 2014 domains are available in Subclasses Revivified on DM's Guild.

Pathfinder Second Edition Domains
Drintera differs from Pathfinder's default world (Golorion) in that clerics don't necessarily get their domains directly from their god; they can get them from a sacred mystery, which may be associated with one or many gods.
A full reference of Pathfinder (2nd Edition) domains is found at the Archives of Nethys , the official Pathfinder online database.
Drintera uses the list of domains found in Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook (Second Edition, 2016), which also matches Pathfinder: Player Core (2023). If domains from other Pathfinder books are added later, we'll update this list of references and this table.
*a range of third-party game products have made 5.5E versions of 5E cleric domains. We're providing links to some that we know of, favoring free downloads when possible. Be advised we are not attempting to make this a comprehensive or up-to-date list.
