Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread
Don't quote me but most of the time I've only seen the slimes in relation to the Aliens. They might be an offshoot of them?
The Inquisition have popped up a good bit since Badaria seems to be the most popular of settings, probably cus yay prudishness to get screwed out of.
Essentially the Inquisition was built by the undead ruler of Badaria under the banner of the star god. It's overall goal is basically an enforcement of the xenophobic nature of Badaria, persecuting mutants, spirit users, and non humans. Somewhat hypocritically they often were spirit users themselves, many having been brainwashed using Psionic spirit powers or old fashioned methods alike.
They were powerful, cruel, and zealous, and generally feared, a secret police force essentially. While the actual warfare arm of Badaria was more the realm of their riflemen and warmages and necromancers, the Inquisition held sway over more internal matters.
When the Invasion came though, the Inquistion was scattered and smashed like much of Badaria itself. It's HQ and the capitol in general became an alien fuck pit, and without any central leadership the inquisitions survivors have from what I can gather reverted to wandering vigilantism, or forming independent headquarters in the few surviving major settlements. They aren't the same force they once were, but individually they are still very dangerous and no less capable of throwing their authority, though they now have to balance that risk with their fewer numbers and resources.
A small band of inquisitors is a significant threat to any non human character, not just because of their individual skills, which are often significant, but because in all but the cities, they can exert absolute authority and supercede leadership, rallying militias, and soldiers and the like. It'd take a noble to really tell them no, and none of them will do that straight out.
The Inquisition is just one threat to a conquering supernatural force, but it's not an ignorable one.
