Overview
Taking their cue from the Catholic Church’s response to heresy in its ranks, the Sanctified created their own inquisition dedicated to rooting out and destroying any threats to their spiritual survival. Early Inquisitors were rarely appointed, taking canon law into their own righteous hands in order to protect the covenant. In some cases this created hysteria and some of these self-made Inquisitors had to be destroyed, so far did they go in seeking heretics.
This overkill led to the practice continued tonight, where it was the sole privilege of the Bishop to name Inquisitors and bestow upon them the authority to carry out their necessary investigations.
What is a Heretic
A heretic is an individual that conducts the following behaviour:
- Publicly declaring a belief.
- That belief is incorrect.
- After being instructed of their error, the heretic refuses to denounce the belief.
- The heretic may or may not be attempting to teach the belief.
- The heretic is acting upon their own free will.
