   The Inquisition (The Dark Vatican) — the main power structure. Officially, an order protecting the world from dangerous magic. In reality — a corrupt bureaucratic machine that has spent centuries accumulating influence, blackmail, and leverage over every layer of society.

   Present day or slightly in the future. A world where magic is real, but hidden from ordinary people. It follows strict, almost physical laws, but its source is not only light — there is also darkness, chaos, ancient forces that are rarely spoken of.

   Based loosely on the Catholic Church, but distorted. The titles sound familiar, but their real meaning may be very different. Head of the Inquisition — The Pope (Supreme Inquisitor). Formally elected, a spiritual leader. In reality — a political figure, balancing between factions inside the order. The current Pope is old, ill, and increasingly absorbed in rituals, leaving real governance to others. Cardinals — a council of 12, the highest leadership. Each oversees a direction: intelligence, personnel, finance, covert operations. They are the ones who truly rule the order. A constant cold war for influence rages among them. Cardinal Secretary of State — the Pope’s right hand. Formally an administrator, in reality — the one who decides which papers reach the Pope and which do not. Secretary of the Congregation — heads of regional branches (by country or group of countries). Vice-Secretary — heads of branches in major cities. Prefect — head of a major department or special investigation. Inquisitor — operational staff. Divided into ranks: · Magister Inquisitor — senior official, often overseeing a directorate. · Prior — senior operative, team leader. · Executor — field agent, carrying out direct tasks (eliminations, arrests, intelligence gathering). · Confidant — desk role; intelligence gathering, processing, surveillance. Cardinal Secretary of the Apostolic Secretariat — head of the secret chancellery. Those responsible for hiding secrets, forging documents, covering tracks. Treasurer (Camerlengo) — in charge of finances. The most cynical and pragmatic role. Corruption doesn’t just bloom here — it’s institutionalized. Auditor — internal investigator. Those who monitor the Inquisitors themselves. Everyone fears them, including the Cardinals.
