And it's named for the original Inquisition from eight hundred years ago that's shrouded in legend and bad records-keeping. They were the start of the southern Chantry as it is with its Templars and Seekers.

[In case it's hard to tell, Dorian is not a southerner and his telling of this is very biased. There are many southern mages who would strongly disagree with Dorian's characterization of what happened.]
