Once severed from [[Call of It'slâmwâ|The Call of It'slâmwâ]], and aging without purpose or salvation, these fallen immortals turned to grotesque science, cybernetic reconstitution, and dark bioalchemy in search of power, preservation, and vengeance. The Inquisition serves as the scientific, heretical, and spiritual backbone of the [[Malisik]] machine. | ||
Founded in darkness, guided by hatred, and steeped in blasphemy, the Inquisition functions as both a divine mockery and a war engine, overseeing the mutation, creation, and perpetuation of the Malisik race. They operate temples, breeding pits, and [[Butcher Halls]] where twisted life is conceived and sanctity is shredded. | Founded in darkness, guided by hatred, and steeped in blasphemy, the Inquisition functions as both a divine mockery and a war engine, overseeing the mutation, creation, and perpetuation of the Malisik race.
