English translation

*From shadows we emerge, defenders of the realm, With magic as our weapon, sworn to overwhelm. With hearts of loyalty, our duty we uphold, For crown and kingdom, courageous and bold. We stand united, a brotherhood of might, Bound by honor, ready to fight. Through trials and darkness, we'll never yield, Our mission sacred, the crown is our shield.*

## Sargon

When The NSE gained control of Runick they started work on bringing back Sargon and nearly succeeded, Though before they were able to bring him back the then recently formed Phantom Division Broke into the Bastillion and stole the Talisman containing Sargon's soul and essence. When Annik got his hands on the talisman he summoned Sargon as a Phantom and as the Fourth Member of the Inquisitors.

When he was first summoned, Sargon was absorbed by madness, he kept rambling and even killed some Northic citizens before being captured. This was due to him being trapped in a talisman for over 900 years, which had become a hellscape for him. He was escorted back to the Order of Souls where his mind was partially cleared, making him much more reserved and calm, this allowed him to regain his strategic intellect which is also how he almost conquered Northland during the Third Sargonic War singlehandedly.

Though after decades of Inquisitor membership Sargon's talisman was stolen and deactivated by the 5 Guardians of Sargon who in 1868 successfully brought back sargon.

## Role and mission

Despite contrary belief the guidance of the gods was less of a concern to the Inquisitors, in reality the role of the Inquisitors moved more towards private policing duties for the Crown that could deal with dirty work or be The Monarchs eyes and ears on the battle field. The Inquisitors wielded magic because of this role as they could be send to deal with any threat. They learn this magic from the current ruling monarch who is their master.

## Hunting Sargon

When Sargon suddenly left in 11 PBS this justifiably caused a panic among Oscar's inner circle. Oscar III knew Sargons talisman had been stolen and ordered a hunt for Sargon, but what ever they did Sargon couldn't be retrieved. However in 1868 Sargon was Successfully summoned and instead of a phantom this time he actually had a physical body. When Sargon was Summoned it created a ripple among the spirits which was felt by Oscar III which caused him to re open the Hunt for Sargon, However they wouldn't have to wait for long as Sargon formed his third Sargonic Empire in 1870.

From this point on there would be frequent raids and attempts on Sargon's life all of them nearly succeeding though none actually managed to take him down. After these attempts Sargon decided to make his move, he knew his old master was to powerful to fight on the long term but he might've been able to defeat Oscar right then and there, i mean his essence power did eclipse those of Oscar. This determination to defeat his master lead to 3 duels where Oscar fought along side the Inquisitors since he knew they might not be powerful enough to kill sargon while he was.

Sargon won the first duel however he couldn't kill Oscar cause of Anthony frànen's intervention, The second duel took place at the second battle of Skogsmarken where neither side won though arguably Oscar did stand his ground while Sargon fled and hid behind his armies forcing Oscar to flee as well. The third battle took place in the Bastillion as the Inquisitors had tracked Sargon there. Sargon came close to losing though when the Inquisitors were forced on the defensive they retreated as Oscar had ordered them to. Enter Oscar III in the resulting duel Oscar tapped into the spirits and Thoroughly defeated Sargon and relentlessly destroyed everything tied to Sargon including the talisman and in his rage and focus also destroyed Sargons soul
