Most clerics are pillars of their community, overseeing worship, healing, and religious rites in their god’s name. However, all faiths have rules, acts which are seen as taboo and creatures declared anathema. When violations appear, the inquisitors follow, finding the violators and enforcing the law with divine wrath and the point of a sword.

Gods of the cold and north, such as Auril, Iborighu, Thrym, and Ulutiu, are, like their element, often severe and demanding. These gods are not usually worshipped for their benevolence, but instead prey upon those who merely wish to survive the unforgiving tundra. Clerics to these gods may not be the warmest people, but they are often seen as saviors to northern settlements that rely on their blessings. These boons are not free though, and clerics of these gods may be sent to gather offerings in return for helping people survive.
Inquisitors bring safety to some, but are often fearsome figures in their work. At their best, they protect their communities from corrupting influences of cults, undead, and creatures from the outer planes. At their worst, they are tyrants, leading reigns of terror to quash dissent and oppress those who do not share their faiths.
 
Inquisitors exist throughout the multiverse, serving causes both good and evil. On many planes, the church of Lolth makes extensive use of them to root out dissent among the drow, and inquisitors of Bahamut are tasked with finding and quashing cults in service of Tiamat. In Faerun, Helm’s eternal quest to protect his servants draws many inquisitors, and the efforts of Bane’s followers to establish dominion over regions they control encourages many onto the path of the inquisitor as well. In Eberron, Thrane’s Church of the Silver Flame and the secret police of Zilargo include many inquisitors among their ranks. Inquisitors abound among the clerics of Ravenloft, given the predominance of malign entities to be fought, corrupt cults to be stopped, and overbearing tyrants to be served.

You can use your Channel Divinity to inspire awe or terror among enemies of your faith. As a bonus action on your first turn of combat you can present your holy symbol and invoke the name of your deity.

A creature frightened in this way has a speed of 0. Creatures who are surprised when you use this ability have disadvantage on this saving throw.
You can use your Channel Divinity to alter your spells and infuse them with the power of your god. If a spell you cast would deal acid, fire, lightning, necrotic, or radiant damage, you can use your Channel Divinity to deal cold damage instead.
