| | The Conclave - What is the Inquisition? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) |
 | | Where a young officer might aspire to be like Lord-Commander-Solar Macharius - a figure renowned throughout the armies of the Imperium - the Inquisition is still something considered with dread, because the exact nature of what they can do is unknown, even when the faces of its agents may be known. |
 | | But four words ("Do what I say"), from a man who can order the destruction of worlds, regardless of whether or not you know his name, is normally going to be enough to assure the compliance of most, regardless of what easily-fulfillable threat is tacked on to the end. |
 | | You'll find no disagreement here - those 'lords' and 'masters' of the Inquisition are nothing more than 'first amongst equals', and hold no real authority over the rest of the Inquisition, save various alliances, with which they can impose their decisions by force, if mutual respect fails. |
