Coyote, Inquisitor (OC)
A coyote Inquisitor for my worldbuilding setting, of machines, sorcery, and lore.
Lore:
The Inquisitors serve as an elite police force for the Empire of Aldrakhania, which is a major antagonist of the setting, ruled by a lion dynasty.
A coyote Inquisitor is a rare sight, but they do exist within their ranks.
While the coyotes are known for their resistance against the empire of Aldrakhania, some accepted its rule. The coyotes eventually repelled the Aldrakhanian invaders in a conflict called the Coyote Reconquista. Even so, some coyotes remained part of the empire.
The Aldrakhanian regime established the Inquisitor order to balance the power of the Aldrakhanian Royal Guard Corps. The Inquisitors recruit from the working class, while the royal guards originate from the nobility. In the past, the nobility held enough power and influence to challenge the regime, hence the need for balance of power.
The Inquisitors embrace the use of technology and innovation, such as grenades, for defending the realm and maintaining order.
While curved swords are native to the region, the regime and its enforces adopted the use of straight swords to symbolize their legitimacy. This practice stems from the ruling dynasty wielding an artifact called the Dragon Rider's Spear, captured from the greatest city built by mortals.
