Inquisitor Valynne, Last of Her Order

## ***Inquisitorius Operandi Codek, Progenitor Scripture***

"Fading, are the embers of this age. Fleeting, are the dreams of the innocent. Forgotten, are the days of our thunder. Our land, swallowed by darkness, it's blessed body ravaged in unholy matrimony, victim of regicide, famine, writhing decay, lay blame to the Lords absconded. Gods, nor Kings, bestow us requiem in times of peril, for all but Mortal-kind be blessed, chained eternal to one ravaged body, exiled eternal, lidless eyes to watch flames of old, and new, rescind our mortal flames to a soulless, spiraling void. They will reap our malediction."

- Codek Inquisitorius, Kato Praxenta; First of The Scriptures

## Malediction, in Life or Death

"Charged, am I, an eternity of service, to honor my Brothers and Sisters of charges eternal. Charged, am I, to the protection of the innocent, the just and the righteous. Charged, am I, to vanguard our once great world - a shield, o' ye who be just, of which respite may be found beyond my towering walls. Charged, am I, to unveil our blackened sun, o'er blackened seas, o'er blackened skies. Charged, am I, alone and afar, keeper of our righteous indignation. Charged, am I, a vessel within which our righteous indignation burns eternal. Charged, am I, an eternal blade, to carve within that which harbors creatures of immeasurable adversity. Charged, am I, to partake in our righteous inquisition. Charged, am I, to be immortalized."

## ***Your curse.***

### ***Inquisitorial Immaterium, Fourth of the Scriptures;***

*"Brother, and Sister, Inquisitors - Light Eternal of our order, thou hast sworn oath, unto the Kodek, unto the survival of life itself. This charge, eternal, will you follow - and reap in it's malediction. Linked, are 'ye faithful, shackled e'r rightly to the continuation of our existence. Blessed, are ye, connected eternally to our conquest.*

*Bloodied, will our wars wage, o'er molten land, o'er blackened skies. Your eternal march, e'r to the thundering drums of justice, deafen our ancient foes, o' Outworld demons. Ye' blackened armor, rival the crematorium, upon which ancestors of old lay upon - unnamed but immortalized. Ye' hammer, guided may it be, steeled in conviction, o' righteous thunder - quell all who threaten the gift of life. Ye' shield, o' tower of virtue, ever bright may it's walls burn, beckoning eternally for our sky's return.*

*Readied, are 'ye, Brother and Sister o' mine, for service eternal, in name of freedom, justice, and liberty. Steeled are 'ye, for darkness time immemorial, come to swallow our lands."* - Scholar Ellisar Darora

## ***Your tomb.***

### ***Inquisitorius Founding Mausoleum, Sixth of the Scriptures;***

*"Your faces...they tire. Your resolves, they crack - but they do not falter, no. Your conviction, our malediction, remains concurrent in the shifting - blackened sands of this broken world. Fear not, Brother and Sister Inquisitors, our ancient enemy - for they are, too, but flesh and bone. Fear not those creatures - for those things are no more terrible than I; torn at the seams by the will of the righteous, unraveled by virtue of the just, remade in the image of the innocent. Born, anew, at terrible cost - consigned to my tomb I beseech my kin, O' who march eternally onward; fear not our enemy. Fear our failure.*

*Our deaths will not avail them, O' kin of mine, for service immortalized is a weapon o'er all who walk the path of perverted ways. You may not rest, O' kin of mine, til' your march e'r reach the darkest corners of our world. Til' scourges scurry, away and whence they came. Til' our world, returned, lay it's sun upon our once rich soil. And in succession, O' kin of mine, may your blades e'r fall true, for a baptism of steel yet cleanses our demonic invaders - ripped asunder, is their form, at the touch - and reaping, of our righteousness.*

*Land, to land, our ancestors homes - lay in ruin and disrepair. Consumed, is our heritage, our ways lost, for O' we march toward and away. Forget not, O' kin of mine, the roots of which we blessed vessels were conceived. Forget not the righteous of the past, but implore - O' kin - the righteous of the future. I prithee, forget not what make us who we are. Forget not who our beloved are, O' sweet faces, of which hold the window of the innocent soul, and the righteous spirit. Cherish, O' Kodek, of which hath given unto us purpose, of which granted us everlasting guidance. Blessed are we, in the path of our scriptures.*

*When you, O' kin of mine, march onward - corpses laden on a barely blossoming field, o' sweet soil of ours - when you, my kin, trail unjust masses in tow of your righteous beacon, painting o' mural of war upon our sacred lands. When you, my kin, stench of justice and honor delivered - ye, who faced the darkness e'r alone. When you, my kin, darken their sun with the blood of our eternal enemies - blackened to mar the reflection of our passage - **then**... shall you know resignation. Then, your service be done.*

*And you, released, yet e'r forgotten - immortalized only in service." - Inquisitor Aurelius Maxsaeimus*

## Description

A relatively tall, athletic figure clad almost always in her armor. Her skin displays many a scar, pigmented with history. Her, originally, blonde, somewhat bleached hair has since darkened, sitting at a short cut, though it looks fairly untouched - matched mostly by her iced, pale eyes. An aura of conviction radiates from her at all times.Despite this, however, she never appears too serious or too gloomy, exuding an equilibrium over her emotions.

## Arms and Armor

Clad in her righteous, plated armor, consisting of full body protection across all of her limbs. A helmet, included, though seldom worn. A tabard adorns itself across the front and back of the armor, and a showl or cloak is often not far behind.

A hammer adorns her back - though is not her sole weapon - beautifully engraved and crafted to the exact specifications of the Order and the Inquisitor who wields it. Her arsenal is, otherwise quite diverse.

## Skills

Battle Rites - Years of honing the Rites performed before, during and after battle have offered Valynne many various wards against her foes, such as immunity to charm spells and incantations of lust, allure and temptations. Such battle rites also include the reparations of her arms, and armor, to ensure that her equipment never falters in the field of battle, or warding rites to protect her Brothers and Sisters in arms.

Trained against Demonic kind - Valynne carries a unique affinity against Demonic kind, her arms and armor crafted in the bane of their very existence, their craftsmanship intentionally lined with malice for any and all who walk darkened paths. As such, they are much more dangerous to those of Demonic heritage, but are still equally as capable against those not.

Trained in the art - All Inquisitors must, by Scripture, recite and memorize for eternity the recipes and procedures of the Inquisitirous Blacksmith Codek, Scriptures Twenty through Fifty - entailing all regulated crafting requirements for all regulated arms, armor, potions, consumables, enchantments (magical or otherwise) and miscellaneous ingredients required for Battle Rites and incantations.

Scholarly - All Inquisitors are required to learn the Codek Inquisitorius by heart, so that every Inquisitor charged eternal may carry with them the memory of the Order and it's scripture everlasting. This, so happens, to make most Inquisitors very good Scholars and Librarians - their unrivaled understanding of written scripture and information most apparent in conversation.

## Alignment

Valynne's alignment can only be described as a Paragon of Virtue - favoring honorable actions above all else, including her own. She is a stalwart believer in righteousness, putting the defense of the innocent, the just and the pure at the very forefront of her mind at all times. While this alignment is dictated by the Codek, primarily, most Inquisitors seem to follow it without question or issue.

This, of course, indicates a hatred for the unjust, the sinful, the malevolent, and those who believe themselves too weak, too far gone, or too good for the path of the righteous and the just. A conviction she does not hold, nor take, lightly.

## Hobbies

*When not constantly on her crusade against the enemies of life, Inquisitors are permitted to have hobbies in times of brief respite - vices to allow them to recuperate. It was believed that these vices, and hobbies, were dreams and ideals that each Inquisitor wished to pursue after their service had concluded, and their war was over. Valynne, in particular, practiced a few skills outside of her Inquisitorial roles, taking whatever time she could to hone them, in the hope that her - and all others - dreams for the future would not be forever a distant dream.*

***Horseback Riding** - This hobby, in particular, had use on and off the battlefield, as some Inquisitors were bestowed with the Rite to ride glorious steeds into charge against their unholy enemies. As such, she spent many a time clad on horseback as she rode through hordes of demonic kind. She did, however, also ride her horse around what remained of her worlds greener pastures, generally in the few remaining respites of hamlets and villages. With time, and conviction, Valynne believed she could tame and teach any horse.*

***Reading** - Though all Inquisitors are required to know the Codek scriptures by heart, some choose to go beyond the call of duty, continuing to pursue the seeking of knowledge and to be enamored by novels, tomes or otherwise. These Inquisitors, Valynne included, could be seen around campfires - still clad in armor, sitting in silence as they read and lost themselves in scripture for their brief time of safety. For most, it was better rest than sleep, as the demonic influence over the land oft corrupted the dreams of any foolish enough to sleep there.*

***Smithing** - Another hobby required of the Inquisitors, but yet another most choose to pursue after the fact of their duty. Inquisitors who pursued the Blacksmithing ways often found themselves meticulously repairing arms and armor of their Brothers and Sisters wounded, but also villagers and local militias who were less armed, arming them adequately. More commonly, Inquisitors oft made themselves talismans and memento's, of which they attached to their weapons and armor. Some of these pertained to sentimental purposes; insignia's of friends, family, loved ones lost in such calamitous times. Others - Memento Mori's.*

## Habits

To list a few;

- Constantly looking around in a precautionary measure, oft not looking at ease.

- Can appear overtly stiffened and alert - painfully so.

- Drifting thoughts, highlighted by her expression.

- Very inquisitive. Who'd have guessed.

- Unwillingness to remove any piece of her arsenal - clutching to it like it were apart of her body.

- Lots, and lots, of eyebrow movements.

## Personality

Determined only by the eyes of the beholder.

## Beliefs

The Belief's of the Inquisitors, and the Order, are primarily reflected in their scriptures; The continuation of life must be held at the forefront of all worldly desires. Inquisitors are a beacon of respite, of life, of righteousness and of security to the innocent, and all who seek shelter from the evils of the world. Inquisitors are willing to help most anyone in need, be it to offer advice about the most minuscule of things, or the willing shield against immeasurable adversity of calamitous degrees.
