- But the Inquisition did not die in those dark ages. Its soldiers still roam the earth and the Damned fear it more than any other group of mortals. Begin your search for those elusive spirits known as the Restless Dead.
- The Inquisition includes
- Ways to add inquisitors to any chronicle, either as characters or enemies
- New details on using Faith in a game
