Tepest is a rural and heavily forested domain, fairly inhabited despite the fact that the land is infested with many dangers. Thsoe dangers take many forms: malevolent goblins and insidious hags among the most common, but it is the beguiling and manipulative influence of the fey that bothers the Tepestani the most. Ever since the Grand Conjunction of 740 BC that resulted in the Shadow Rift eating up several neighboring lands, the Tepestani Inquisition has served to root out the fey and their agents, and it is for this they are most known.

The Inquisition is not terribly discrete in how it defines their targets- such as elves, gnomes, sorcerers- are all prime targets for being hunted. As with any witch hunt, sometimes entirely innocent targets find undeserved fates. Such false accusations have caused Wyan of Viktal, the Inquisition's founder, to put serious limits on the growth of the Inquisition's reach. However, the resurgence of the Inquisition's popularity and power may have resulted in a movement behind his ability to control.
