Any priest who performs an [[inquisition]], they may choose to [[Inquisition#Escalation|escalate]] it to a [[condemnation]]. The virtue inquisitor has another option; they can instead choose to escalate their inquisition to a [[Statement of Principle]] in the [[The_Assemblies_of_the_Synod#The_General_Assembly|general assembly]]. As with a more traditional condemnation, this does not count as raising another Synod [[The_Judgments_of_the_Synod|judgement]] but is an extension of the inquisition. The intention of this power is that a virtue inquisitor who finds no fault, or who considers there to be insufficient grounds for a condemnation, may share their findings officially with the Imperial synod.

The elections for the Virtue Inquisitors are considered to be legally equivalent positions restricted by virtue. This means that if you change your virtue assembly then you must abstain from voting in an election if it occurs less than four events after the previous election in your previous virtue assembly.

VigilantInquisitor.jpg
The virtuous are alert to all dangers; within and without.

Overview

These Imperial titles were established by a vote of the Imperial Senate in Summer 379YE. There are eight virtue inquisitors in total - one for each of the virtue assemblies, and one for the assembly of the Way. The virtue inquisitors were established as part of a larger plan to establish an inquisitorial court.

The powers and appointment method of the Virtue inquisitors were significantly amended by the Imperial Senate in Spring 382YE.

Responsibilities

The intention of the Senate is that the Virtue inquisitors would form an Inquisitorial court in conjunction with the Imperial Inquisitor, to oversee inquisitions and ensure their accountability and transparency. This inquisitorial court is also expected to work with the Imperial militia and the Imperial Synod to ensure inquisitions are performed correctly.

Powers

Inquisitor's Judgement

Once per summit, a Virtue inquisitor may call an inquisition without the need for a vote in the Synod. This is in addition to any existing judgements they have raised normally. This use of the power may be escalated to a Sanction just like any other inquisition.

To use this power, the Virtue inquisitor must still place a judgement before the Synod, but it is considered to pass automatically at the point it is presented.

Appointment

Each inquisitor is appointed by a judgement of Appointment in the appropriate virtue assembly. Selection is by a judgement of appointment raised by the Tribune in the standard manner.

The laws for Imperial elections state that, if eligibility to vote in an election is restricted in some way, then you cannot vote if you were eligible to vote in an equivalent but different election in the last twelve months. For example, if you were eligible to vote for the Prosperity Virtue Inquisitor - and you change to be part of the Ambition assembly - you cannot legally vote for the election of the Ambition Virtue Assembly until twelve months have passed from the date of the first election.

The elections for the Virtue Inquisitors are considered to be legally equivalent positions restricted by virtue. This means that if you change your virtue assembly then you must abstain from voting in an election if it occurs less than four events after the previous election in your previous virtue assembly. If you are in any doubt about your eligibility then you should consult the Tribune, or Merlot the civil service overseer of elections who can advise you.

Any Imperial citizen may hold this title. They can be revoked by the General Assembly, the appropriate Virtue assembly, and the Assembly of the Nine.
