In addition to dealing with anyone that went against Ministry protocol, the Canton of Inquisition also has bases all around the city of [[Luthadel]], called Soothing stations. Their purpose is to dampen the emotions of everyone in the area, calming and depressing them to prevent rebellion. In addition, many Inquisitors find skaa Mistings by installing [[bronze|Seekers]] in the Soothing stations.{{book ref|mb1|27}} There are between thirty and forty soothing stations around the city, each with three Soothers, a Seeker, and a Smoker to mask the Allomancy to anyone outside.{{book ref|mb1|29}}
==== History ====
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}}
