The Cathedral Of Embers
One of the three huge rock formations inside the perimeter
of Ember Cairn has been excavated to house
the headquarters of the Arcanist Inquisition,
known as the Cathedral of Embers. This vast
underground complex contains many prison cells
and interrogation rooms for people accused of
having magical abilities or other violations of
the sacred laws.
Currently, the complex is ruled
by the Lord Inquisitor Crevax, a seven-foot tall
Dragonborn whose devotion to the sacred
teachings of Empyreus is only outmatched by
Sagrado Valieda himself.
The Arcanist Inquisition Headquarters are a maze
through which only well-trained Inquisitors can
find their way. According to rumours, the cells
have no locks, and the Inquisitors let prisoners
loose to determine whether or not they have
magical abilities: if they find an exit, they are
immediately recaptured and found guilty of
magical impurity. Whether true or not, the
fact remains that very few people are released
from this place. Those who do get out seldom
escape with a healthy body and mind.
Though there are other rumours that one particularly
skilled individual regularly enters, and exits, the
Cathedral of Embers on their own, and unharmed,
for a purpose unknown.
