It is said that a prophet or possibly a god was born to a blind woman several centuries ago. Born in a small shack on the out skirts of some long forgotten city, her cries were lost to the wind and deaf ears. In the dead of night, during a storm that reshaped the face of the land, she was born. The new born was said not to cry, but her powers would shake the world starting with her mother. Being blind from the time of birth, the woman had no idea what her new found baby would look like until the little girl touched her eyes and everything was healed.
Anything past this point is only rumor or conjecture, but it is said that many things other then healing happened that night. Over a period of several hours the new born girl aged at an incredible rate to the age of adult hood. It is said that she did not need to learn but felt the need to teach. She adopted a cane and shawl and walked out into the reborn land as the dawn cleared the sky. What happened to her mother is not known, or possibly not talked about.
It is said as she crossed the land, she collected three humans of fantastic might and impressive stature. These three were vastly different in their pursuits but held one key element that would later shape their creation. During their many years of travel, all they touched had changed and found a new path, their path. Late in their lives they decided to stop in the middle of a field and created a small temple that grew in size as pilgrims from their travels migrated to them to worship them as gods. Given time their methods and pursuits created a following and centuries later a religion. I do not need to explain this was the creation of the Inquisition since it has either marked or blessed our lives.

This my friend, is the secret order of the Inquisition. What you just read, you will need to take to your grave... Only the highest upon high know of this shadowed history of their three gods. Steeped in mystery and worshiped by thousands as the only true and one religion.
As I can see, you are interested in magic. I say you are either a fool or a dammed brave fool. You see, the inquisition is a bunch of worshiping fanatics that hate all magic. They spout on about how magic made us the way we are today. I say if it made us who we are, then it must be good for us.
All I can tell you is beware... I can't say I saw this my self, only one man I knew ever got out alive of that deadly town. Several years back, the inquisition deemed a town unworthy and full of magic users. I swear to you, it was not like that at all. No one used magic there, but I swear they were trying to hide something that was... But these are just ravings from a drunk man, so you can believe me or not.
They burned down that town, I swear to any and every god you believe in. They state they are good, that they are holy. I have never once seen a holy man slaughter children for just being near magic. It is their teachings though, something about some taint. I say it is rubbish! I knew a magic user in my time and I never saw any taint or anything strange about him except that he shot fire balls from his hands. But if that is one man's taint, well he was my savior so in my eyes he stands firm and tall as a hero.
Remember, you did not hear this from me... But I swear to you that I have heard they lock up magic users to make items for them. Oh, yes, Mr. High and Mighty is not good enough to use magic him self, but he will use items composed of magic. Dam Hippocrates if you ask me... Just watch out for them, they say they are good. That and be careful of those mind freaks you sometimes see with those knights. Those creatures if you want to call them that, are strange things. They look human sure enough, but have you ever heard of a human who could shoot things with their heads?
Ok, now you hear me! Magic is different, it does not come out of the blasted head. Their heads look like they have worms wriggling inside of their skulls. It is the most disgusting things you have ever seen. Every so often if you have quick eyes, you see them whip them selves. Once I asked one of those knights about it, even though I knew I possibly was risking my life. They said they were a sin in their god's eyes so the whipping was to cleans their bodies and souls of any taint.
I've seen a thing or two in my time... That is just not right, if you ask me, head the other direction when you see those so called paladins. Something is just not right about them. Now what was that you said about buying me a drink if I told you all this?
