There was an Inquisition founded long before to defend against the dangers of magic after the First Blight which last near two hundred years. It rose up to defend Thedas against the dangers of magic and heretics to then ally with the Chantry, splitting to form the Seekers of Truth and the Templar Order. That we have a second Inquisition now can be little coincidence.
[Careful, to keep his voice level and there is a respect, a fondness, even a humbleness to speak of that first Inquisition. To even attempt to imagine the tumultuous times they lived through. What they fought against. That they had such conviction now. Such steel in their spines.
But he had contemplated Lakshmi's anger, Myira's, others who will come with their 'faith' and it had come to him, had settled as a stone in a well, and his voice rings out solemn as a bell with the Chant.]
We dreamed up false gods, great demons Who could cross the Veil into the waking world, Turned our devotion upon them, and forgot you.
From the Canticle of Threnodies, the lamentations. The story of the creation of the world and how man fell as man did. All of you who have come through a rift have crossed the Veil, what proof have we that your false gods are not a thing we should beware? The Old Gods bring the Blight when they rise as Archdemons, they bring suffering, they bring death beyond measure, they bring sickness and fear you cannot fathom in their wake that take years to recover from even if the Blight is short. You might think hard on such a statement here.
