Arcane Inquisitor

Overview

The Arcane Inquisitor is an Imperial title created by the Imperial Senate during the Winter Solstice 385YE. They are appointed by the Assembly of Nine and have a responsibility to oversee the virtue of titleholders appointed by the Conclave. Although constitutionally the holders of such titles cannot be subject to Revocation, they are not immune to the scrutiny of the Synod, including the power of Inquisition.

Responsibilities

The Arcane Inquisitor is expected to advise Conclave titleholders about the Way of Virtue. There is some expectation that they will work alongside the Witness of Conclave and the Sevenfold Path to ensure that activity that might constitute a religious crime is acted upon so that an appropriate Sanction can be administered.

Powers

Inquisit Conclave Titleholder

Once per summit, the Arcane Inquisitor may call an inquisition against any Conclave titleholder without the need for a vote in the Synod. This is in addition to any existing judgements they have raised normally. This use of the power may be escalated to a Condemnation just like any other inquisition. To use this power, the Inquisitor must still place a judgement before the Synod, but it is considered to pass automatically at the point it is presented.
