The Inquisitors



A reactionary movement born in the nation of Durant under the rule of Archduke Saint-Just in the year 261 AU. With the peace born of the Armistice, the privileged youths of the Durantian nobility came into increasingly frequent contact with the lower orders, sparking a fashionable interest in the wellbeing of these "unfortunates". Unwilling to simply enjoy a fad while it lasts with an occasional well-informed remark at dinner parties (more than sufficient in the past), a group of students under the direction of Royce Luxon and Lawrence Demarque appointed themselves spokespersons for the lower class, for better or for worse. The result, over the intervening months, was the evolution of the faction from trifling children at play to seething, armed, irritable masses unable to settle upon concrete leadership or, for that matter, a collective goal. As such, progress has been halted at the widespread distribution of pamphlets, Luxon and Demarque having reached a stalemate and the arguably more appropriate representative of the oppressed, one Colm Beaconsfield, arising as a potential replacement. The future remains uncertain, the Archduke having failed to supply a stance of his own on the matter.
