The Inquisition

No spirit is above the law--no man nor creature nor even the gods can say they may act with complete impunity. It was upon this simple principle that the first Inquisition was laid out; a group of mortals who saw the gods and determined that, if the divine can reason, speak and act like mortals can then they too can and should be held accountable for their actions among mortals over whom they govern.   Even with their staunch stance of divine opposition, the Inquisition are not above divine patronage; it is said that the very organization itself was founded and patronized by a god--the god of the unspoken and inauspicious. It seems a natural guess to suppose that a deity would grant to mortals the ability to fight against the divine but there has been no confirmation on this point...nothing conclusive at any rate.   Because going forth and seeking out the moments when a god's hand strikes down a mortal or when they determine to do as they please are rare--even the Inqusition is willing to admit there are times when divine retribution is justified--they have taken to working within the framework of cities as law enforcers. Skilled in the dissolution of magic, these brave soldiers of justice move to defend those who cannot defend themselves, in especially those who are defenseless against powers such as curses, conjured blights and terrible fiends raised up from the bowels of the hells.   There is no movement of the resplendent that they cannot trace and no 'intervention' they will not seek to overturn. With zealous fervor, the Inquisition is prepared to move on a moment's notice and will test the very extremities of the mortal will in their pursuit to ensure that every soul is held to account for what they do upon the mortal plane of Vaale.
