Wine Domain
The Wine Domain joins sacred drink, altered perception, restoration and dangerous intoxication in one divine sphere. Its published rules come from Relics & Rituals: Olympus, where Dionysus grants the domain.

How the Wine Domain Plays
The domain moves back and forth between remedy and intoxication. It can remove drunkenness, create limitless drink, weaponise a vintage, restore the injured or cloud a battlefield with supernatural inebriation. The immunity to ingested poison makes the priest unusually safe at feasts, negotiations and rituals where a cup may carry more than wine.
Dionysus and the Wine Domain
Dionysus is the source patron and remains the clearest divine connection. Bacchus represents the closely related Roman expression of wine, ecstasy and liberation.
What Are Wine Priests Doing Now?
Wine priests are blessing vintages, judging whether a poisoned feast was mortal treachery or divine punishment, presiding over ecstatic rites and following rumours of a vintage whose effects cannot be explained by ordinary fermentation.
