1An online, RP-enforced game, The Inquistion: Legacy is sent in an alternate universe called "Urth", where a mad king set off on a religious quest to eradicate magery throughout the world due to the death of his family at the hands of a group of mages known as the Council of Seven. He conquered the known world but for one nation, the Daravi, with whom the Kingdom of Lithmore remains at war even today. The game takes place generations later in the capital of the realm, Lithmore City, where the Church dominates the land whilst mages hide beneath their very noses.
