Ansilvund's Initiation

During the first ten years of official Artifeast celebration at Lightpeak, the festival experienced an increasing number of casualties and injuries involving contestants; a seemingly perfect engine would explode killing it's creator, a magical device would go out of control and incinerate a spectator, poisonous runoff would find it's way into food kiosks, and more. These accidents culminated in a Artificer that killed every contestant. Artifeast was almost dissolved permanently, but the resourceful actions of a select group of competitors managed to capture one of the saboteurs for interrogation by Phol-Phoram security. Cultists of Ansilvund, insulted by the exclusion of their god from a place of honor at the festivities, had been using sabotage as an initiation ritual for prestige and rank within the cult.

Inquisitors of Artifeast
It did not take long to root out the cultists of Ansilvund once the culprits were determined, but the complicated nature of their traps and sabotage forced the creation of a separate inspection force outside of the jurisdiction of Phol-Phoram. A joint inquisition team was created between followers of Harosh and Imaunte solely dedicated to rooting out fraud, sabotage, and dangerous inventions.

The churches of Harosh and Imaunte consider it a great honor to work as an Inquisitor, even though Inquisitor's are disqualified from all competitive events. They are also not above deputizing patrons of the festival as need requires.
