If one wanted to update a Cleric for Starfinder, or use one of the Starfinder gods for a pre-gap Golarion-verse set game, in which there would still be clerics, what sort of Domains would you see for the new gods?
The old gods, some of whom *may* have changed some domains, although I'm just gonna list their old ones for now;
Abadar - Earth, Law, Nobility, Protection, Travel
Besmara - Chaos, Trickery, War, Water, Weather
Desna - Chaos, Good, Liberation, Luck, Travel
Iomedae - Glory, Good, Law, Sun, War
Lao Shu Po - Animal, Darkness, Evil, Luck, Trickery
Pharasma - Death, Knowledge, Healing, Repose, Water
Sarenrae - Fire, Glory, Good, Healing, Sun
Urgathoa - Death, Evil, Magic, Strength, War
And the newbies (I'm counting Nyarly in his Empty Traveler aspect as newish, and Triune as Brigh Plus);
Damoritosh - Evil, Law, War, maybe Glory and Strength?
The Devourer - Chaos, Destruction, Evil, maybe Darkness and Void?
Eloritu - Knowledge, Magic, Rune, maybe Trickery???
Hylax - Charm, Good, Law, maybe Community and Protection?
Ibra - Sun, maybe Darkness, Knowledge, Void, ???
Nyarlathotep (Empty Traveler) - Chaos, Evil, Knowledge, Magic, maybe Travel (or Void) for that fifth domain? (Nyarly's other two aspects share Chaos, Evil, Knowledge and Magic, so it would follow that this one would as well, leaving that fifth one the only one not already set.)
Oras - Chaos, maybe Animal, Healing, Knowledge, Plant?
Talavet - Community, Law, maybe Knowledge, Protection, Fire?
Triune - Artifice, Knowledge (as Brigh), possibly Healing (both Cassandelee and Epoch are all about creating new life / resurrection/renewal, so Healing feels appropriate-ish)? Brigh's previous domains of Earth and Fire don't feel as on-theme for the Triune. Maybe Rune, representing 'the All-Code' and Travel, suitable for the discoverer/creator of the Drift.
Weydan - Chaos, Good, maybe Knowledge, Liberation and Travel?
I'm seeing a fair bit of Knowledge and Travel here, but that totally fits the setting, which is All About discovery and exploration.
If it was 'Our Worlds at War' (which it ain't) I'd expect a lot more War and Glory, for example, and I'm not seeing a need to artificially 'balance' the Domains between these particular gods, or find a 'slot' for the Air Domain or the Scalykind Domain).
Eloritu and Ibra are the two I'm not immediately seeing a fifth domain for, but I'm sure that someone cleverer than myself will have a good idea for that!
Triune is a single entity, but each of its three aspects retains its own personality and portfolios, and many of the faithful focus their veneration on a particular aspect that speaks most to them or call on different aspects for different needs.
I would say that the three aspects of Triune each get their own domains. Brigh can probably keep her original domains, but for the other two, your guess is as good as mine.
