The Canton of Inquisition was formed sometime during the sixth century of the Lord Ruler's reign. This Canton was the one to suggest the [[Terris]] breeding programs to the Lord Ruler in order to keep the Terris population under control. The Lord Ruler agreed to it provisionally, and the programs were then kept until the collapse of the Final Empire. However, the subjugation of the Terris people started far before the Canton of Inquisition came up with the idea of the breeding programs.{{book ref|mb3|44}}
The [[Inquisitors]] themselves didn't belong to the regular chain of command in the Steel Ministry, but were ranked below the Lord Prelan. Through [[Kar]]'s revelation that [[Vin]] was the daughter of the Lord Prelan [[Tevidian Tekiel]], shortly before the death of the [[Lord Ruler]], the Canton of Inquisition gained dominance over the other Cantons.{{book ref|mb1|36}}

The [[Conventical of Seran]] is a fortress inside a crater to the south of Luthadel. The fortress belongs to the Canton of Inquisition and may be the place where new inquisitors are created.
