The Inquisitors

All who pass through the Gates of Judgement must abide by Ishgardian law, and the inquisition is responsible for investigating any potential violation. Those suspected of the grave crime of heresy are thoroughly interrogated, and if the accused is confirmed to be a Dravanian sympa- thizer, he must be held to account for his deeds.

For a city at war, any who question the Holy See are akin to festering wounds which threaten to corrupt the whole. Therefore, the inquisitors have been granted extraordinary license to conduct their work, and they are even allowed to detain-albeit temporarily-members of the High Houses should they be suspected of blasphemous intent. On the other hand, the protection afforded under these special powers makes it difficult to evaluate whether the inquisition's interrogation methods are effective, much less appropriate. As a result, the clergy--as well as the general populace-tend to view their work as a "necessary evil" at best or a "shameful profession" at worst, and the inquisitors themselves understand they have been placed in a delicate position.
