# Inquisition Route

*Additionally, they exist to extract confessions out of those that have been accused of heresy and offer them a chance to repent that way and rejoin the Church.* \
*For additional information, and some historical background, follow* [*this link*](https://medievaldiscordrp.com/inquisition/) *to a post on our website.* 

## Joining the Inquisition Route

To join the inquisition route, you must talk to the **Pastor** NPC in the **#cathedral** and spend the appropriate amount of **Piety** which scales with the amount of currently active players in each route.

**Base cost:** `50 piety`

{% hint style="info" %}
*If there is a lack of players in the Inquisition route, the base cost will go down automatically.*\
*The opposite applies if there are too many players in the route, meaning, the price increases.*
{% endhint %}

*Any scribe may choose to join the Inquisition, and they have three roles they can progress through.*
