Bab 1021: Inquisitor of the Penumbra Circle, Marquis Varokin

'Oh? He's an Inquisitor of the Penumbra Circle?'

The skounae were divided into three separate groups based on their bloodline. One of those groups was known as the Penumbra Circle.

Only those with the rank of Marquis or Duke could become a part of the Penumbra Circle; however, those with the title of Inquisitor played a special role among the skounae.

The Inquisitors of the Penumbra Circle maintained order in the Malentansium kingdom and ensured that the Night King's will was being carried out properly.

There were two different types of Inquisitors in the Penumbra Circle. The first type was those with the rank of Marquis. It was these Inquisitors that kept a close eye on skounae who were at or below the rank of Marquis.

As for the other type of Inquisitor, they held the rank of Duke. But, unlike their Marquis counterpart, their only mission was to oversee their equivalents and prevent them from tearing each other asunder.
