Inquisitors are by stereotype, grim and determined, and dedicated to rooting out the enemies of their faith. They are tied to the dogma of a particular deity, though are more individualistic in terms of their operations.

They possess no one method to achieve their goal. Some are equally martial while others rely on guile and less conventional means. Most possess a personal code of some kind, and as per the PRD, their alignment must be within one step of their deity's.

Somewhat surprisingly, inquisitors tend to be dedicated towards building up and supporting their temples even though their focus is on eradication of the enemy. For this reason, they often find means and ways to work with other members, particularly the clerics and paladins (should their deity sponsor them), or rangers and monks (such as in the case of Gilead or Vardama). In many areas, they often find allies, even if these allies have a different method of approach, and the words of clerics are often appreciated, if not always followed.

Enemies of a faith vary. For Altheans, for example, this may be the oppressors of the week or brigads who raze homes and farmsteads. An inquisitor of Angoron might take the fight against slavery in Veyshan, or even a local bully who was abusing his strength.

Inquisitors in Ea

There are a number of inquisitors within Ea, though few possess their own orders. Instead, they often take on specialized roles within their faith. The following are for example purposes only, and you are free to make up your own role and interpretation.

Althea: Inquisitors of Althea may tend to favor subtler methods to enact the spread of peace and protection of the poor and the weak. For example, these inquisitors may make studies of oppressed lands and determine how best to get aid to them. This does not make them any less of warriors for good, only that they are often in a unique position to utilize their talents.

Angoron: Inquisitors or Angoron may tend to focus on the protection of the weak and those who cannot protect themselves (such as children). Some of them may take this to near-fanatic levels. Many of them are also students in the perfection of physical strength, and may become single-minded in this goal.

Daeus: Inquisitors of Daeus are more rare. They may tend to serve as guardians of many of Althea's works, and are often at the forefront in the fight against evil. They may be students of military strategy against the spread of oppression and darkness.

Eluna: Inquisitors of Eluna may focus on the protection of magic or magic sites, as well as the investigation of potentially dangerous artifacts.

Gilead: Inquisitors of Gilead may tend to be protectors of the field and the careful balance between nature and man. They may also lend their skills to other temples of light, to root out and destroy sources of evil, and often cooperate with the faith of Dana.

Serriel: Inquisitors of Serriel are often, but not exclusively so, students of military strategy and the advancement of civilization. The form this takes can vary widely, from organizing the building of roads, to serving within the ranks of armies, to acting as advisers to government, with the goal of developing areas such as education and so forth.

Tarien: Tarien has few inquisitors. Those that do are known for guarding the causeways and travelways, and imparting wisdom through pranks and humor rather than force.

Ceinara: Inquisitors of Ceinara are rare, though many focus on the liberation aspect of Ceinara's portfolio, believing that every person should be free to create. They also may engage in the protection and study of great works of art.

Dana: Dana's inquisitors focus on the protection of wild spaces. They may act as a mediator between the wild and the civilized world, or even as enforcers against encroachment.

Kor: Inquisitors of Kor tend to be students of war and military strategy. They may even hire out their services or function as mercenaries, all in Kor's name.

Navos: Inquisitors of Navos tend to be focused on the inner self, and the struggle for perfection. Many of them serve as spiritual techers or guides, either by living by example, or more formally.

Rada: The inquisitors of Rada take on the defense of ships and the sea. Some of them work the land, representing the interests of fisherman to various cities and villages. They may also cooperate with the faiths of Gilead and Dana, and hunt out the corruption of the seas.

Vardama: The inquisitors of Vardama vary. While some focus on the hunting of the undead, others may be involved in the protection of shrines and various crypts. They may also take on legal expertise and aid the priests in manners of mediating wills, familial disputes, and other matters.

Caracoroth: The inquisitors of Caracoroth are the stuff of nightmare, spreading the seeds of fear and destruction.

Deimos: The inquisitors of Deimos are more subtle, acting often as undercover agents to further their deities' goals.

Gunahkar: The inquisitors of this god focus on bringing about disaster in all its forms.

Illotha: The inquisitors of Illotha often hire themselves out as professional poisoners or assassins, particularly where it may cause the most harm.

Maugrim: The inquisitors of Maugrim focus on infiltration, and bringing the world under the Tyrant's boot.

Taara: The inquisitors of Taara share her hunger for power, and few scruples on how to attain it.

Thul: The inquisitors of Thul specialize often in the darker aspects of the law, and fostor agreements, unwilling and willing, between those of mortal souls and those of the hells.
