The Arcanist Inquisition
After unifying the three provinces, Sagrado Valieda ordered the creation of the religious order
called the Arcanist Inquisition, whose function
was to control and limit the use of magic in the
provinces. According to what the Arch Seraph
Empyreus had told Valieda, magic was a curse
that endangered its wielders and everyone who
associated with them.
The Inquisitors patrolled the provinces, spreading
their teachings about the dangers of magic,
stirring mistrust in the population. After some
time, they began to arrest those known to be
magically gifted and brought them to their cells,
where they would supposedly live a life of humble
service to the Arch Seraph. The Inquisitors were
eager to find these people at the youngest possible
age, as they claimed the threat of magic could be
more easily contained in the young whose magical
abilities had not fully emerged.
Sagrado Valieda later returned to the land of
the Shattered Peaks among the Dragonborn. As
missionaries of the Arch Seraph Empyreus spread
their teachings across Etharis, some Dragonborn
migrated back to the Castinellan Provinces. After
centuries of wandering and resentment from the
abandonment of their dragon gods, the scattered
Dragonborn people had left behind their ancestral
religion. Hence, they showed little hesitation
to take hold of the new light that Empyreus
offered.
Seeing this, Sagrado Valieda seized the
opportunity to strengthen Castinella and the
Empyreus theocracy even more. He announced
that all Dragonborn were welcome to reconstruct
their former city of Ember Cairn, fallen eons
ago, as long as they were raising it to the glory
of Empyreus. As the Dragonborn were now the
most zealous followers of the Divine Seraph,
Valieda made Ember Cairn the headquarters of his
newly created Arcanist Inquisition and raised the
The Cathedral Of Embers.
