Berengar sat upon his father's seat of power as he tapped his armrest thrice with his left hand and drank from a chalice of wine in his right. Standing before him was a group of priests garbed in scarlet robes with a golden cross hanging around their neck.

These were the men of the inquisition, a group of zealous and sadistic priests who rooted out, tortured, and executed heretics.
