The Inquisitors are the High Priests of the High Elves. Arrogant and deadly, the Inquisitors are only committed to themselves. The fate of the other inhabitants of Ancaria does not concern them. Their ultimate goal is to assume control over the T-Energy. They’re even willing to use dead bodies for their own purposes, and disgrace the souls of their enemies.
Sacred 2 All Classes
After the Great War and the migration of the High Elves into the northern regions, an internal power struggle for control over T-Energy broke out. Both the aristocracy and the clergy claimed control over the T-Energy for their own purposes. This conflict smoldered for years and resulted in both factions focusing their power on battling each other. In this unstable political environment the Inquisitor managed to secede unnoticed from the clergy and even gain control over them by manipulation and intrigues. Officially they are still “only” a part of the clergy, but in reality they managed to assume the power.
The Inquisitor is a fighter for the shadows. He has powerful and manipulative spells at his command and is even able to manipulate the minds of his enemies. He has access to devastating spells of destruction and influence based on dark magic, enabling him to fight entire groups of opponents. The Inquisitor is proficient in close combat and his power even increased by damage he’s taken.
The Inquisitor wanders Ancaria pursuing purely selfish goals. Therefore, he may only follow the path of shadow.

Inquisitor Aspects
- Gruesome Inquisition – The Inquisitor is an excellent melee fighter. He is not defensive; instead, he prefers to attack relentlessly with no regard for his own protection. He knows very well that his best defense lies in preventing a second blow from his opponents. The Inquisitor uses his privileges and an extremely high degree of sadism as only these former clergymen do. He disposes of his opponents by various cruel means such as shackling them to a pillory or even executing them.
- Astute Supremacy – The Inquisitor becomes almost invincible. He can take on hordes of enemies, hurling powerful streaks of lightning towards them, or he can steal their souls and use them to his advantage. No one is able to withstand them! His command of magic is so extensive that he can turn his opponents or their attacks into weapons.
- Nefarious Netherworld – The Inquisitor is also proficient at dark magic that drains the souls from his opponents and even turns the dead into tools. The darkest among the Inquisitors excel in the dark arts. They feed on souls and they desecrate corpses in order to enhance their own powers. They can even frighten their opponents literally to death.
