The inquisition are feared throughout
Slionogoth as they operate as essentially a secret police for the region. The inquisition is almost entirely made up of
Owlin although some
Yuan-ti take up some of the more higher up roles in the organisation.
The inquisition is responsible for seeking out and dealing with any and all threats to the region and more importantly to the
Yuan-ti. As an organisation they answer only to the
Lord Inquisitor, although the inquisition will be reluctant to conduct operations on any
Yuan-ti and typically any operation involving a
Yuan-ti will be conducted by
Yuan-ti inquisitors. The
Lord Inquisitor resides in the
Fortress of the Inquisition and is rarely seen outside of their headquarters. Something that makes having a family as the
Lord Inquisitor difficult.
It is not clear the limits of the
Lord Inquisitor's power. This is something that only the
Lord Inquisitor and the very top of the
Yuan-ti know the answer to. It is expected that the
Lord Inquisitor has unfiltered power to act as they choose in the interests of the
Yuan-ti.
Second to the
Lord Inquisitor is the principal inquisotor who resides within the
Re-education centre. Unlike the
Lord Inquisitor the
Principal Inquisitor never leaves this building and as such the people with this rank typically have no family or leave them behind to potentially never see them again.
The following is a list of ranks and the powers gained at said rank. Each rank also has the powers of all previous ranks. Note that this list excludes the
Principal Inquisitor as their powers are entirely confined to the
Re-education centre.
