Inquisition

The Inquisition is an independent knight order dedicated to protection of the humanity from harmful magic.

Structure
The order itself consists of multiple organizations with distinct names and distinct areas of operation. E.g. in the Western Kingdom, the main branch is title the Knights of the Sun. Inquisition is foremost a militant fanatical organization, though certain branches do have more worldly tasks like education and providing help to those in need.

Beliefs
The Inquisition's main belief is that magic itself is opposed to the laws of the universe and thus dangerous to the humankind. Only the Inquisition can serve as a shield to protect the regular folk.

All branches worship Indira. Any other celestials are seen as either lower deities, or heresy.

Jurisdiction
The Inquisition is independent and allowed to act in all of the kingdoms, as long as they do not directly harm the interests of the royal families.

Following rights are given to the forces of the Inquisition (unless the royal authority objects):

Mage Hunts: Mages deemed too dangerous gain the status of apostates and will be actively hunted by the templars.

Cleansing: Magical artifacts that are deemed too dangerous are gathered by special troops of templars and brought to the main fortress for cleansing.

Purges: Should an area be considered too contaminated by magic, the archbishops can call for the whole area to be purged. A purge needs to be sanctioned by four archbishops and be brought before the affected royal family.
