Travel Domain
The Travel Domain turns travel, roads, journeys, movement, safe passage and magical transportation into a cleric’s sacred practice and usable rules. Its exact mechanics depend on edition, so the published Pathfinder and 3.5e versions are kept separate rather than blended together.

Dimensional Hop

How the Travel Domain Plays
Travel clerics solve the problem of getting there, getting through and getting out. Pathfinder emphasises speed and short teleportation, while 3.5e gives a daily reserve of freedom from magical movement impediments.
Who Grants the Travel Domain?
Hermes, Mercury, Njord, Hermod are strong existing patrons where this sphere is established in the deity’s portfolio.
Priests, Temples and Rites
Travel can mean merchants’ roads, pilgrim routes, sea voyages, messages, hospitality, migration or supernatural passage between realms. Patron and culture determine which journeys are sacred.
What Are Travel Priests Doing Now?
Travel priests are maintaining way shrines, guiding dangerous crossings, reopening roads after war, blessing ships and caravans, investigating vanished travellers and negotiating safe passage through lands controlled by rival powers.
