Church of Selibrias Plague Inquisitor

In the dark lands of Varind, the Church of Selibrias, God of Inevitable Death, performs many functions, most notably the care of the sick and dying and tending to the graves of the deceased. In the times since the Varindian Beast Plague and the rise of the Cult of Eyes, however, new agents of the church were required. The formation of the Plague Inquisition heralded a new era for the shattered church in these lands, where the great plagues rendered the corpses of the dead into ferocious, twisted abominations. The plague inquisitors scour the lands of Varind, seeking to treat the plague-ridden, and hunt down the cultists who continue their dark work in secret. 

The average Plague Inquisitor is dark of demeanor, and highly focused on investigation, tracking, and knowledge. They carry the ingredients for both salves of healing for those afflicted by disease, and potent toxins with which to dispose of those who the plague has transformed into abominations.
