Powers

Inquisitor

The Imperial Inquisitor is an Imperial title in the Synod. Once per summit, they may call an inquisition 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.
