!!Holy Inquisition of Cardia

[[folder:In General]]
The Holy Inqusition of Cardia, or just the Inquisition, formed in what would become Valencia from the remnants of various Cardian faiths. It was legitimized after receiving evidence of countless conspiracies and plots and bringing the Paladins of Cardia to their side, gaining the support of King Derek and Valencia as well.

Led by Lord Inquisitor Nordstrom Weiss, the Inquisition is a force dedicated to the singular goal of unraveling conspiracies and hidden threats that would destabilize the Land of the Living. They accomplish this through the use of their inquisitorial authority, treaties, military might and pure fanaticism.
