The Inquisitor News

The gritty and rotten-to-the-bone city of Koenigstein welcomes you, Inquisitor. The city is divided into 5 districts, each with its distinctive architecture and folk. Some of these districts will show you the worst you can expect in terms of the inhabitants and living conditions while others will represent the wealthy lifestyle of the royalty.



Either way, the danger may await at every corner since the corruption and depravation of people living in this city does not recognise class. From filthy thieves through scheming aristocracy, all the way up to the murderous cultists – Koenigstein is a cradle of sin. Be always aware of your surroundings and choose carefully, who you trust.



Your mission in Koenigstein will take you through all the districts and will let you in on the city’s filthiest of secrets. Before you step your foot in Koenigstein make sure you are fully equipped for what lies ahead. Learn this map by heart and use it to your advantage. Be aware, there are hardly any more dangerous places than this one – not in this realm at least.

Even though inquisitors are trained in sword combat, they might not always have equal chances against a bigger group of enemies or even one powerful foe. That’s when shersken becomes a useful ally. Veteran inquisitors like Mordimer Madderdin are well aware of its capabilities and always carry a pouch of shersken attached to their belts or in their pockets.



Shersken can be used in several ways. In small doses, it can heal many different illnesses. When used in large quantities, it becomes a deadly and undetectable poison. It can also be used in combat since when thrown in an opponent’s face, it can blind them for a period of time and cause a great deal of pain. This dirty trick can create an opening for an attack or help the inquisitor to escape from battle unscathed.



The origin of this herbal mix is unknown, but it’s believed that the Byzantine Empire originally crafted the recipe. No one knows how and when the Inqusitorium learned how to prepare shersken for its own purpose. The inquisitors need to place an order for each portion and explain how was the previous one used. The place where shersken is prepared remains a mystery.

Little detail is known about the mysterious Amszilas Monastery. Even the description of this place leaves a lot to the imagination. We can definitely learn from the books by Jacek Piekara that it is a true fortress on a hill covered with foliage and located next to a river bend.



The monks of the Amszilas Monastery guard a true secret that holds the key to understanding the current state of the world and religion. However, it is not guarded by armed knights or archers. The holy tabernacle is protected by the power of strong faith that the monks carry in their hearts.

The Monastery is also the headquarters of the Holy Office, on behalf of which Mordimer Madderdin conducts his inquisitorial investigations. Demons were also subjected to examination in Amszilas. Sometimes very brutal methods were used for this purpose.

Mordimer Madderdin’s past is not very often discussed and little detail is shared on the pages of the books by Jacek Piekara. Until the release of Płomień i krzyż (Fire and cross) the origin of this character was shrouded in mystery. Finally, the author decided to shed some light on Mordimer’s background in the story about Piękna Katarzyna (Beautiful Catherine).



Beautiful Catherine was a courtesan and an apprentice to an old witch. Apart from conning wealthy noble men into buying her precious gifts, her ultimate goal was to gain access to Sahor Szefer – a book of dark magic. She was ready to do anything to become the most powerful of witches. Even giving away her firstborn.

She never knew exactly what happened when she brought her son to the witch, but she noticed that he has changed. Sometime later, she was captured by the inquisitors, tortured, and burnt at the stake.
