Gatekeeper

Inquisition Portal

Gatekeepers are members of the Holy Inquisition who are charged with allowing access to the archives which contain dread knowledge such as the Dismal Texts. They are the ultimate arbiters in deciding who is allowed entry and who is barred, even though they do not hold the rank of Inquisitor. As such, they can prevent an Inquisitor or their senior Acolyte from gaining access to the Dismal Texts should such individuals fail to pass their scrutiny. This is due to the long-held tradition that a Gatekeeper's word is considered law with no two individuals being alike. Thus, the Inquisition protects itself and keep their secrets safe from those who would seek to use such dark knowledge for sinister means.^[1]
